Is it just me, or is this game already looking pretty bad? I mean, I appreciate the intent (I guess), but MAN that collision detection was not very flattering.

I hope that the archery kill cams can be turned off. I turned them off in Fallout New Vegas because they got pretty disorienting.

I sorely missed some archery kill cams in the game when I played it, nice to see them finally ... all those amazing long-range shots would have felt all the sweeter with this in place. But returning to the game is the last thing on my mind at the moment.

How sad that you boil your entire gaming experience down to your potential gamer score.

Works out well for me as I am switching to archery to finish up the miscellaneous side quests.

Kind of wish this was in the game originally. I have had so many crazy archer shots that would have looked great with a kill cam. Oh well.

Damn I hope these come to console. I feel like Bethesda almost owe it to PS3 players, at the very least. Nice to see them supporting the game with some free content, though.

You know, sure, I think i'm into walking into a bar, picking a random person and then giving them a german suplex. Why not?
 
I'm assuming these are PC only?

And with that, I suddenly realized that there is nothing Bethesda can actually do to make me like Skyrim. Or at least, I don't know what I want from an Elder Scrolls game.

Holy fuck, the only thing this was missing was a flying elbow from the top turnbuckle, or something.

Saw this on GT a while ago but it's pretty cool that archers finally get some sort of kill cams. I've only played an archer and literally never engage in melee combat - totally forgot that those finisher moves are actually in the game. Kinda excited to see the arrow sailing through the air at some lone bandit standing atop a high ledge now.
