Magic kill cams got to go! : V - Skyrim

» Tue Jun 12, 2012 4:56 pm

Well, I hate to disappoint you...

Too late!

Yep, I work for Bethesda. I'm also a CIA agent. Hell, I'm 300 years old, and once ruled France. See where I'm going with this?

Unemployed. Got it.

Nope. I don't think he will.... [UPDATE]... just checked later in the thread... he didn't

Personally, I love the 3rd-person finishers. A chance to see my badass looking character being badass. :biggrin:

Yeah, i can see that point. If they worked correctly and didn't get you killed i might leave them on for that.

In New Vegas leaving the kill cams in "Player View" resulted in a free, non-addicting Turbo (a drug that caused a short "bullet-time" effect), so that may be why you can't do anything in Skyrim when they are played.

I imagine my dovahkiin standing there mesmerized "FLAMES PRETTY"

"Don't worry, Dragonborn, I'll finish off that bandit's remains! Have at y- AGH I'M ON FIRE"

LOL

I see this. He appears to be a product of the American public education system.

^{I don't see why they wouldn't add a feature that would make everyone happy. On the other hand, I'm not sure why people are having such a problem with it? The new kill cams have not caused me any inconvenience, nor have they been the sole reason I was killed in a battle. In fact, they don't even happen that often. Saying that it makes the game unplayable is an exaggeration.}

Mage killcam killed my follower once.

Was burning a bandit with flames, kill cam starts and the bandit dies, I see my follower suddenly walk into the stream and burn to a crisp too while I can't do a thing about it.

Exactly, they're broken and need to be patched or toggle enabled. It's currently just an annoying BROSEPH THE BRO DUDE placator.

No. Gstaff made it quite clear that there would be no killcam toggle. Then they deleted the sub-forum the statement was posted in so that no one can see all the complaints 1.5 generated. Adding a killcam toggle would be to admit an error.

Please tell me your joking?

All we can do is continue asking for a toggle to be patched.

I wish I were. The comment was posted in a thread a lot like this one in the 1.5 beta subforum (that has now disappeared). Since the entire subforum (which was crammed full of complaints regarding grass shadows and ranged killcams) was deleted, I can't quote you the exact post but it was something to the effect of, "There will be no toggle option for killcams". No explanation, no debate, nada. When I replied, "Way to listen to your customers, Bethesda" a bunch of [censored] jumped my [censored].

Yeah it was like this in Fallout New Vegas. When you shot someone it would go and follow the bullet in slow mode while being beat by a rusty lead pipe.

I love them. Nicely done Beth.

This.

I haven't had any instances of the problem that the OP describes. Every time the "Kill Cam" has kicked in on my Mage, I've always had the enemy die. I haven't had one kill cam where the enemy lived.

I love the magic kill cams. I think they look great, and it's fun to see my Mage greasing an enemy from a cinematic angle through magic. I like the addition.

I cannot believe you hate it, Phinix... it is simply splendid. I know it may not kill the creature or person but it is intense and epic.

The kill cams for mages and archers drove me nuts too. I fixed it with http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=13396

I dont understand why beth is so stuborn to give us a toggle for this. Do we have to send them a thousand cupcakes to change this too or what

I hate them with a passion. They are even worse than the melee slow mos. Nothing happens in them. Magic flies at enemy, enemy dies, repeat. I have stopped using magic because of them. It makes it even worse when Bethesda are too lazy to put in a toggle. They just let modders do all the work.

You can make a difference, vote in the thread below. A simple option in the menu is not a big deal to ask for. Lots of fans demands are unrealistic (playable lich anyone?) but a kill cam toggle is not one!

Kill cams in general need to go. They belong in call of duty, not TES.

+1

It is so funny how people say things like, everyone thinks so. it's 10 to 1 in favor. In real context, 326 people viewed this thread. 26 people posted.
Somehow this is a majority of the millions of people who own this game????
So funny.

It doesn't matter if its the majority or not. lots of people want a toggle, TOGGLE meaning you can toggle them on or off, you wouldn't be forced to turn them off. Other people will then have O P T I O N S! It doesn't effect you in the least. I'm not sure how you could be against something that has no effect on you and would improve other peoples gaming experience.

what is every one talking about the kill cams getting you killed cause you can't attack i don't get this one bit. cause i have never once had this ever happen to me. for me when i go into a kill cam every thing else around me just kinda stops until its done. i've never been attacked while in a kill came or killed right when it ended.

» Wed Jun 13, 2012 3:34 am

NO. No they don't. I'm so sick of all the crying about a toggle. If they added a toggle for everything single thing that people are wanting Skyrim would have the biggest toggle menu in history. :shakehead:

Just because it doesn't happen to you doesn't mean it doesn't happen to others.

I recently started a wood elf destruction mage/bow assassin, and have had the 'mage kill cam' effect several times now; and each time produced a rewarding kill. Lucky me.

Again, the main problem is the fact the killcams for archery and magic are bugged. If they weren't it wouldn't be as bad.

I play a mage and the only weapon I use is the bound bow. No problems for me. It is very possible that the bugs are being worked on for the next patch. But it's Bethesda so who knows?
