HOLY KILL CAMERA, BATMAN. Makes me wish I had Xbox Live. Then my Wood Elf would be a fucking brawler.

I'm going to miss all of the people asking why they can't marry Lydia. The Cornered Rat fix is nice though, since we have 3+ threads on that in the help forum. Oh, and I'm surprised they added superfluous things like kill moves into it when there are so many other bugs. I would have liked for them to boost magic power a bit.Seriously pissed about the smithing change. Don't know if I can be assed to re-write the guides.
