Man, the longer I hold off on replaying/finishing Skyrim, the better it gets.

Maybe if I wait another few months the combat will turn into Mount and Blade and I can die happy.

"Fixed rare problem with werewolf kill moves would not finish animating properly"

I loved that bug! A guy would just dangle there for a few seconds, fall over dead and then play the death sound. It was retarded and I hate it when it actually happens, but I still love it.

Now when will they fix that bug that makes Delphine an unlikable, inarguable ***** that wants you to kill Dragonbro?

If they turned it into mount and blade I would probably stop playing.

Skyrim's combat is bad but its leaps and bounds more enjoyable then M&B.

Blasphemy. If you were here I'd hit you with my blade whilst riding past on my mount.

look up a mod called skyrim total enhancement I think its called. Puts much more emphasis on footwork and blocking.

Sweet...thank you. I will! Sounds promising.

Actually, that's the wrong mod. Mixup on my part. The mod is called PISE: Improved Skyrim Experience.

Here's a video showcasing it and another mod.

I'm still working by way through Morrowind, then doing Oblivion, then Skyrim. Hopefully by the time I get to Skyrim, it might be fixed and modded into the best game ever. XD

HOLY CRAP YES! This means I can snipe stuff with my bow while riding past it on my horse LIKE A BOSS!

Improved logic for when ranged kill cams are played
Fixed issue with ranged kill cams while killing a dragon
Fixed rare issue with certain ranged kill cams not playing properly

This is also good, as I get soooo many killcam zooms from the bow that don't actually end up killing the enemies, it's incredibly lame.

Although it will likely break a pile of mods, and since I have about 70 currently running I dread to think what my game will be like (It's already got a nasty bug where sometimes interacting with stuff doesn't work at all, so I have to keep clicking tanning racks and stuff until they work)
