Around the time when Skyrim came out, there was a youtube that was basically a "developer's wish list" of things Bethesda would have done if they had more time on the game.

It appears, based on the additions of ranged / magic kill cams and mounted combat, that many of the features from that video are being released for free in updates.

Now, I'm not suggesting that we will get everything in the video, but it certainly appears based on the updates so far that Bethesda is using a lot of the ideas from the video for new content that are coming to us via updates or DLC. Ranged kill cams, improved water animations, and mounted combat are examples. I think crossbows and spears were also in that video.

Does anyone have a link to the video or a list of the features shown there? I believe that video is the closest thing we will get to a real list of future updates to the game.

Its worth watching the entire DICE keynote if you have the time.
