Considering it's a patch, there's nothing to really get mad about, in my opinion.

^truth. i can't wait. Alos, if this was a Capcom or BioWare game, it would cost $10 to get this patch.

This isn't the only thing they're adding you idiots; its a patch, not a content update. There's bound to be tons of fixes and the like. This is probably just something the animators did when they had nothing else to do after the game came out, that they added into the game. No need to freak out.

The Killcams I mean, not the Suplexes

You know what game already had suplexes? Saints Row the Third. That's why it was game of the year.

Kill cam is just annoying. Yeah it's kind of bad ass the first dozen times, but after watching the same 10 second recycled animations over and over and over, I wish there was a way to turn it off. At least you could in Fallout 3 and New Vegas.

Forgot how much I missed the kill cams from the Fallout games until seeing this. Wondering why the hell they took out the ranged kill cam from Skyrim at launch as it should have been there after all the Fallout work done. Time to go back in for more Skyrim to take a break from the stupid boss fights in ME3.

Same here. This is cool, but after 120+ hours, it's just not enough to go back without the promise of some DLC.

Seems like stuff that should have been in the game in the first place, but at least they added it. I also want Paralysis Runes, Seasonal Foliage, more follower commands, building your own home, new mounts, mounted combat and footprints in snow. Maybe they could also add stuff for the DLC like spears and new enemies like goblins and slimes.

Have they patched it so guys actually flinch when you hit them or do they just go "argh!" and their mouth moves?

Is that all they are adding or are there more features? Seems kind of small; Not that I'm ungrateful.

Certainly, while I don't regret purchasing Skyrim in the first week after release, that's a pretty good rule of thumb to go for when it comes to Bethesda games. They generally put out a lot of DLC (and it's not always worth purchasing individually, like the Horse armor DLC, which certainly was a good addition in the GOTY edition, but would've been crazy to purchase on it's own), and they generally need the time to fine tune the game (i.e., make it work - though in hindsight, I don't even think the PS3 version of Skyrim was the buggiest big release of last year. I've had way, way more problems with my PS3 copy of BF3, which unlike Skyrim hasn't even been patched once since the release of Back to Karkand).

This. And I think I turned off killcams after a third or so of Skyrim. I can see *thud, sllliiiiiccce* only so many times before it loses its impact.

Skyrim and Fallout have the worst framing for their killcams. Just look at the suplex: why is it centered on the lower half of the character's body? Most of the action happens off screen. Needs work.

Sorry Skyrim, without an autotune character you are still only the second best game of last year.

"Guys, we're still fixing our massively broken game! Here's a trailer with stuff!"

If it requires it's own trailer, my first thought with this game isn't to get excited, it's "this patch will need it's own patch" :(

As someone who has had no issues with bugs, and has yet to beat the game, I fully endorse and have no quibbles with this small addition to the game.

Yes because killcams don't get old AT ALL. They could have gone and fixed one of the seventy-bajillion bugs in the game or even give it some DLC that makes it interesting but no.

It would be AMAZING if they would fix my broken Mage College quest instead of adding suplexes.

Skyrim needs it's version of the mysterious stranger that shows up and does German suplexes on your enemies.
