Skyrim Cinematic Killcam Issue After Update 1.5 – How to Fix

the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim

One thing I loved about Fallout 3 was the slow motion cinematic killcams. So when I heard they were coming to Skyrim I was made up.

Yesterday my copy of Skyrim (PC) updated itself in Steam. I loaded it. I see that the version is 1.5 (1.5 and then some more numbers). No killcams whatsoever. I've killed about 10 enemies without getting a killcam. Is it something you have to turn on? I couldn't see a setting anywhere. It is supposed to work for projectile weapons and magic. I'm using a bow and arrow which in my book is a projectile weapon!

Edit (14/04/2012): To update this, I have had a few killcams happen now. They're pretty neat. Worth the wait 🙂

They are in there, the new ones have made me laugh (especially the two-hander head banging)... But they are random. Getting them to show up is not a guaranteed thing. All I can suggest is keep playing.. I often work my combats to be 1 on 1 or 1 on 2 and such and I get the kill cam slo-mo quite often.
