Skyrim beta update 1.5

  • Comment
Today, BethBlog posted some information about update 1.5, which will include new features, like new killcams, specifically killcams for ranged combat and spellcasting! They also say that they are planning to add new features in upcoming updates... Skyrim is starting to look like the never-ending Elder Scrolls game at the rate they are spewing out updates and features!

Update: It seems that BethBlog have removed this article from the blog for some reason, most likely because the beta does not seem to be up on Steam yet. But whatever the reason, it will probably be up again soon. (To anyone following BethBlog, they do send out mails where you can read the blog post.)

Update Monday 22:00 GMT: Still no beta on Steam.

Update Tuesday 16:00 GMT: Still no beta on Steam. (Only a Steam beta, not a Skyrim beta.)
When asked about the article on BethBlog, GStaff replied this: "Sorry, that was an early draft. When we’re ready to post something, we will."


Today on Steam we've released a new beta update that gives you a first
look at what's we'll be bringing to PS3, 360, and PC in the
forthcoming 1.5 update.

In addition to a number of new bug fixes, we're now using title
updates as an opportunity to add new features to the game. Included
in this update, players will be able to enjoy all-new kill cameras,
including ones specific to ranged combat and magic.

Sound familar? That's probably because they had a cameo in the Game
Jam video [1] shown during Todd Howard's DICE keynoteTodd Howard
presented at DICE.

And while we're at it, they also posted about new features in the workshop, specifically a feature that allows you to follow your favorite mod authors. Hm... are they spying on Dark0ne?

    Don't want to give everybody false hope but.. maybe the upcoming patch might come with a secret extra goodie or two. <img class=">

    And you would say that because...?

    1. In your opinion what was the last stable update. 2. Also, does NMM need to mirror the update at that time or can the latest version be fine with the older version of Skyrim?3. How do you go back to the stable update if your are at 1.4.7?

    some other things i hope make it in from the DICE video

    - nightmare mount when i first saw/got shadowmere i was a tad disappointed as it was just a black horse with red eyes i was hoping for a skeletal nightmare steed flaming mane tail and hooves when i saw it in the DICE video i was so excited.

    - spears .. they were in morrowind and i have missed them since such a classic weapon

    - goblins .. who doesent want more variety in monsters

    - moving lifts and the like this would make for some really cool dungeon layouts added with the water currents you can ride to different areas you can do some really complex mazes

    the new killcams will be welcome IMO archers and mages have been missing out on these mini cinematics

    If you thought mages were impossible before, now they'll be wipe you from the floor due to stupid kill cams. Silly silly silly.

    I'm excited about the Killcams for archers, I'm a pure archer, so it's welcome news. I really hope they release all of those mods they showed in that video. Especially the vampire mods and real-time flow based water. The water flowing sideways drives me crazy!
