The Kill Cam killed ME. Again.

Post » Tue Jan 22, 2013 8:02 pm

I was at the top of some falkreath watch tower, fighting an Arch Necromancer. A camp fire was between us. She was throwing ice dealies and I was using a bow.

As she got low on health, the Kill Cam activated when i shot an arrow... Only the arrow didnt fire. Im not saying that I shot the arrow and hit an object between us. Im saying the arrow literally did not fire. The kill cam came on, and it just stayed on my character, doing absolutely nothing. but holding the bow idly. She continued to attack.

This occurred with the next four attempts to shoot her, same results. Eventually she managed to kill me during my own kill cam.

Im used to Bethesda games bugs, but that level of WTF-ery is pretty rare. I'd like to point out that this issue could be solved by letting us turn the kill cams off. Since I can't do so, its fairly upsetting to lose solely because of the kill cam.

Oh, that's not the half of it, MouseMage. The killcam does not account for any damage mitigations: Armor, elemental/magic resists, shield raised, even cover sometimes... If your health can't take the hit, you're killcam'd. Before I used mods to disable them, I considered any player health level 50% or lower when fighting dragons to be suicide.
