User blog comment:Jimeee/Skyrim 1.9 beta update adds Legendary difficulty and raises level cap (Updated Apr 8th)/@comment-5959778-20130409013553

It seems the update only affects new characters, unless it's still bugged(most likely). At least they fixed as much as they can. Either way, the patch is out and we all know everything we can know through this, So please stop trying to figure out "Y is my old archr not lv3-bajillion?!?"
