    Patch 1.5 Beta is now on Steam, and with it we have - at last - the kill cams for ranged and magic. Also there are additional kill cams for melee.

    Want a sneak peek? 

    Go on then, you twisted my arm

    Yes, they'll be added to consoles. You just need to wait for Sony / Microsoft to put the 1.5 patch through their quality control, but the 1.5 patch will eventually add these for all platforms

    "Smithing skill increases now factor in the created item’s value" it's about time! I was kind of dissapointed that I could become a master smith who can forge and temper equipment using Daedric techniques by simply forging a ton of scrap daggers.

    Please tell me they've added animations for warhammers. When my Orc decapitates someone by chopping of his head with Volendrung I feel just silly and it really disencourages the use of warhammers.

    That looks pretty great! Since I am doing a lot of killing with my new character, I look forward to that. ;)

    These are cool. Really dig the archer ones. It's awesome seeing the bow flex like that. I didn't really see alot of the ones that are already in the game due to I didn't do much melee. If anything, it's cool to see your character in a different perspective "oh wow, he looks like that when killing!" lol

    hahahaa that was awesome! i think unarmed gained a few wrestler moves to its usually brutal repertoire (grab them by the shoulder and continually punch their face in :P) 

    I'm glad archery got the kill cams too, usually for the long distance arrow fights i'd have the only way i'd know i had hit the guy was that he didn't fire back XD
