Skyrim "Creation Kit" and Bug Fixes Coming February 2012

Sometime next month Bethesda will release their Creation Kit to totally open up the PC version of the game to modders.  They also will allow mods to be uploaded to Steam where they can be rated and downloaded by other PC players.

At the same time, a whole list of bugs will be fixed.  Here is a list.

Here's an in-depth discussion of this issue.
