Skyrim PS3, no more arrow to the knee?
I had played Skyrim on PS3 when it first came out, and it seemed like every third guard would talk to me about how they used to be an adventurer like me, until they took an arrow to the knee.
That console died, so I just started over. I have the official patch that the PS3 prompted me to install, but no expansion packs or anything else. I'm a level 8 character, but have yet to hear a single guard mention being shot in the knee. They seem to mostly be talking about the dragon attacking Helgen, and the Dragonborn being summoned by the Grey Beards.
As in my previous incarnation, I'm spending most of my time in Whiterun.
Have I just not completed whatever task / level up that triggers the start of the arrow to the knee comments? Or were they removed with the patch?
I tried googling this, but did not find any firm answers.
I actually miss being told about the arrow to the knee...
I wasn't looking for a quest from the guards, more asking if after I complete quest "kill bandit leader X" or "retrieve magic item Y", or reached a certain level would the guards start talking about the arrow to the knew when I walked past them, or did that dialogue get patched out at some point.

The comments the guards make seem to be based on stuff that you do, or carry in your inventory. If you've joined the Dark Brotherhood, they might comment that they know who you "really" are. If you become a werewolf, they'll make comments about the hair in your ears and how you smell like a wet dog. If you've been doing alchemy, they'll ask you to brew them up an ale. The more you do in the game, the more of a range of responses you're going to get. But, no, the patches didn't remove the comments. I play on PS3 with all the updates. I have three characters -- a level 84 Imperial Nightingale, a level 56 Nord assassin, and a level 36 Breton conjurer -- and I still hear the "arrow to the knee" from time to time.

I believe they say it as much as ever, it is programmed.
It is just that at first we were all aware of it being a verbal meme. So we listened, but now we are accustomed to it so it just passes unnoticed.

That must of been a glitch.
There is NO mission that tells you to something for these guard that involves the shot to the knee.
