Will there be an addendum released for the Skyrim guide to correct the errors?
While I love my Skryim guide, I've run across several errors and am wondering if a printable PDF addendum will be released (obviously for free).
Examples of these errors range from..
..incorrect crafting recipes (smelting a Steel Ingot requires 1 Iron Ore and 1 Corundum Ore, and yet the guide incorectly lists the requirement as simply 2 Iron Ore. The skill range requirements on smithing improvement modifiers is also wrong.).
..omissions in walkthroughs (claiming there are only 2 chests in the final room of Bleak Falls Sanctum, when there is actually a third hidden chest, which is just the sort of thing you would want a guide to point out).
..just plain incorrect information (the guide has a note on gender in the very beginning claiming there are no differences between male and female characters of a particular race. While true for some races it is not true for others. Breton males, for example, can hit harder, run faster, and jump higher than Breton females because of the way the game applies scale modifiers to the character models. Wood Elf females are actually stronger and faster than Wood Elf males. The truth is it varies from race to race, and the generic blanket statement in the guide is incorrect and misleading).
The problem is, as much as I love the guide, once you start running into a few of these errors you start questioning how accurate the rest of the information is. Having corrections released by the publisher would help, so I'm wondering if an addendum in the works?

Glad to hear you are enjoying the Skyrim guide.
With games this big, it's pretty rare to publish a 500,000+ word guide with zero inacurracies. This guide was laboriously researched by our team and double-checked by the folks at Bethesda, and while there are a few minor glitches, rest assured that 99.99999 % of the information in the guide is accurate.
We have been compiling a VERY short list of corrections and we'll put something up on our site soon that lists all data corrections.
