Bethesda Outlines Skyrim 1.5

So from what I can gather I'm in the minority of people who do not more kill cams or at least wants an option to turn them off. When I got the Deadly Combat odd for Oblivion it was not for flashy combat it was for fun and more engaging combat not the boring slog that is TES combat. Don't get me wrong I'm not complaining that is free but just an option to remove it as the killcam kill my immersion.
I hope they made a bow killcam like the one in Red Dead Redemption where you go up real close and shoot the guy from below the chin. That would be pretty cool.
Well, when you get them stuck in your character, all you have to do is empty your inventory, maybe that would help? :\lithium.jelly said:I already fixed that in mine, I've been married to Lydia for a while now. It's just a quick console command on PC.Zaydin said:
BTW, speaking of Skyrim bugs and the fixing thereof, does the image below look familiar? I seem to have picked up a bugged spell effect or something that won't go away and doesn't show up in the list of current effects. It doesn't seem to be affecting anything, it's just visual, but it's starting to get quite annoying. I have the thing you see below stuck to my character's feet, or waist when she's on a horse, with a constant billowing fog cloud streaming off it. AND I CAN'T GET RID OF IT!
Well, the problem with the PS3 doesn't seem to be something they can fix, if we're being honest. They've been trying to since FO3.Das Boot said:
Not the whole team is working on glitches (cos not everyone has that kind of experience or ability) and not the whole team is working on making new content. Bethesda is a huge development team.
And let's be honest, have you ever assisted in a FOSS (or even larger) program's debugging? Not even small projects are bug free. Imagine debugging code for a game with the complexity and size of Skyrim.
Okay, I'm going to thoroughly enjoy those arrow kill cams when I go on my next extreme range sniping excursion.
But surely you know that bug fixing is a tricky process. In many cases fixing one bug inadvertently causes another. Why would a company deliberately lie about fixing a bug if they hadn't? I mean, as you have stated, everyone will easily see that the bug isn't fixed.Das Boot said:
If they said that they had fixed it then I truly believe that they must have thought they did, but sadly they were wrong.
I see no logical reason why a company would lie about fixing things when they didn't. Infact, most companies would rather ignore a bug completely rather. (I'm talking about YOU 'The Creative Assembly')
You're seriously telling me that they're adding more cinematic kills but still aren't allowing us to turn them off? FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...................
Yes, I hate these things. They not only take away controls from the player to show me something that I've probably seen quite a few times by now, but completely prevent me from going near enemies that can kill me in one or two hits without giving me a chance to dodge or block the attack due to being unable to do anything during the cinematic. They also interrupt whatever I was doing (healing, attacking, etc.) and suck me into them even when I'm out of range. I'm a PS3 player, and these finishing cinematics honestly are the thing that breaks the game for me. As someone who likes the maneuverability of Light Armor and hates how abusable Smithing is - it becomes common place for me to run into enemies that can kill me in one or two hits, so dodging and blocking become essential for survival. Being unable to dodge or block an otherwise lethal blow (that can take out over seventy percent of my health, especially on harder difficulties) because the game wants my death to be flashy is gamebreaking for me. Bethesda, ADD AN OPTION TO TURN THESE OFF ALREADY!!
Inb4 someone says "quit trolling", I'm being serious. I've never like these cinematics and wish I could turn them off like in Fallout: New Vegas. I've also been tight on cash and can't afford the PC version yet, so for now I can't just mod this out of the game.

Well, they've at least been trying to fix some of them. Maybe the ones you're concerned with are the trickiest. I actually don't remember getting screwed too often by Morrowind on the PC, but MY GOD DID THE XBOX VERSION SCREW ME. That game was just a bit more than the poor ol' Xbox could handle.Simonoly said:
Which would require them to fix the PS3, the PS3's hardware just doesn't want to run anything with large saves.Das Boot said:
Ugh, the kill cams. They worked great in Fallout 3, and they will probably work for spells and ranged attacks, but they suck for melee. When you're fighting someone and the game shoves you into third person, it means one of two things- either you got a special kill on the enemy, or the enemy has mostly randomly decided to make you dead right now regardless of your health and the game said 'ok'. When there's a lot of shit going on and you're in a tense battle it's harrowing to see that slow-motion third person shot until you can make out exactly what's going on. Worse than that, the special kills are often worse to pull off than a regular attack. I remember sneaking up behind a bandit to backstab him while his friend slept nearby once. If I got the special kill off his friend would stand up and be poised to hack me once the game decided to give me back control. One axe to the head and loading of an autosave later, I found out that if I didn't trigger a special kill animation I could attack the second bandit while he was getting up!
This made me laugh way more than it should! Thanks for that.Buretsu said:
OT: I'm more concerned, like most, about glitches that seem to prevent actual progression. Kill cams for ranged weapons is all very impressive but it's no good if you can't, you know, actually play the game.
