Magic Kill Cams, Bug?

[enyamerT]

I think this kill-cam bug has always been in the game, it's just that it's more noticeable now that it's applied to ranged combat. Several times - when engaged in melee - I've had the kill-cam engage for a split second and then pop back out to my normal view, and then activate fully a couple of hits later when I land the killing blow. I've definitely seen it before patch 1.5 came out, and I had the same thing happen in melee just yesterday.

I did have an issue with Saber Tigers and Melee Weapons since 1.3. When I attacked, it would seem like a freeze, but then go back to normal. I finally guessed it was the animation for the kill cam for the Tigers, and it activated the kill cam, but couldn't find the file to play it, so there was a moment of nothing going on.

The glitch I had yesterday was versus a sabercat, but I distinctly remember the first time I noticed it was while clearing a Forsworn camp.

That is the only Melee Kill Cam bug I have had. With the Sabercat, but it was quite a few times with them. I haven't had that one since 1.4 though.

Although, I did have a Melee attack on a Deathlord with a Melee Weapon the other day. It was just like what I have had with the Bow. I hit him, had a kill cam animation, he went down with a green paralysis glow, but there was no loss to health. I had two other Deathlords to deal with too. Was very frustrating, as I tried to kill him, but he would take no damage... all the while I was taking hits from the other two. Closest I was to death in a long while. Fortunatly I had the female Orc Follower, Borgakh the Steel Heart (my wife) with me at the time. Otherwise I would have been toast.

Yes it is the regular release that bugs. Maybe this will get fixed in 1.20?^^

I see, I have Steam Offline so I'm not really up with it, I like to check out what the patches do, and what bugs they might introduce (like this one), before I download and install them. I think I'll wait and try and find out more about this before I download 1.5, I'll let you know if I find anything further on the Beth Forums or elsewhere.
