I'm in the middle of a Dark Brotherhood quest (the gourmet one) so can't try much at the minute but the first thing that I've noticed is that the base damage of arrows is now taken into account when you are wearing equipment with archery boosting enchantments. For example, using an enchanted Daedric Bow with Daedric arrows before , I was doing 502 points of damage per arrow. With a steel arrow it was doing 488 points of damage. After the patch the same bow with daedric arrows is now doing 705 points of damage per arrow but with steel arrows it is doing 583 points of damage
I'll need to check the enchanting and alchemy stuff later too because they tinkered with them in the last patch so they might have changed them again in this one. I also noticed that they haven't fixed the glitched 'worn shrouded gloves'. They still have the 'backstab' perk even though you can add your own enchantments to them
EDIT:
Blood On The Ice / Hjerim still seems to be glitched. The quest still won't start for me (no dead body lying in the graveyard) and reading 'the butcher' stuff in Hjerim didn't work either. The 'investigate investigation target' text still appears too
good, if you care for that Daedric Ebony Blade, slay Lyndia and fully power that thing
that's all the marriage was for me, achievement, then either to power that blade, or use to sacrifice for the Ebony Mail for those who haven't used a stupid follower already

You really only need to kill 1 person to power up the ebony blade. You can cast 'dead thrall' on them and then kill the same person a further 9 times
Haven't checked to see if they've fixed the ebony blade yet because it couldn't be smithed before and even when fully powered up, a lot of other weapons are more powerful than it. It looks great though

you can do that to I preferred to manually kill those who trust me (I read 5 or 1 using your spouse) and made use of the useless marriage feature by killing chosen wife as well
it's not that powerful, just a blade to use if you wanna be deceitful or favor two handed weapons, they are certainly stronger weapons than that

Some of the new animations are pretty cool. Just killed a stormcloak soldier at Bthalft who was attacking an Imperial. Shoot him with an arrow, and the cinematic followed the path of the arrow as it struck the guy in the back,killing him instantly. Also became the victim of a new dragon animation, I was fighting an ancient dragon, had 1 more hit to make on it and just as I hit the R1 button to attack the camera pulled back and the dragon promptly picked me up in it's mouth, thrashed around a few times then tossed me away and I was dead. Not sure if that's an instant kill as my health was some what low.
Liking the improvements and fixes in the patch so far. The Yngol Barrow quest is still bugged, I retrieved the helm for yarl of winterhold, but can't do the other quest there where you fight the ghost of Yngol.
Have not tried to go back to Windhelm yet to see if the Blood on Ice quest is still bugged. I'll check that sometime today in my travels.

It is Seems that they're telling people that it is fixed but you need to start a new character for the 'fix' to take effect. I've put in over 200 hours on my character and only need the civil war trophies and then 2 more storyline trophies (plus the one for 20 dragon shouts which will unlock during the remaining storyline missions) and I'll have my Platinum....so they can go fuck themselves if they think I'm going to start again
Although it'd be nice to have the Hjerim house I think I can live without it. I've got all of the other houses anyway along with the dark brotherhood, thieves guild & companions guild master quarters and I STILL use Breezehome in Whiterun as my main house

Yeah Windhelm is a dump, and I'm like you I'm not starting over just for one quest. Breezehome in whiterun is my main house. Mainly since the smithing forge is right next to the house. Easy to craft, and improve stuff, then sell off what I don't want. Married Lydia today,took 3 tries. I missed the wedding the first two times Finally I just sat in the temple the third time and waited for a day to pass.

Oddly Enough I never had any issues with that Quest. Everything played out extactly how it was suppose to.
Windhelm is craphole, For location Whiterun is the best. I Really like the look of the house in Markarth.
