Death Is Becoming: Skyrim Patch Adds Killcams


Brave beta-neers of Skyrim, wanderers on the frontier of electronic code, a reward awaits those Dovahkiin's willing to take a journey to the newly laid lands that the god Bethesda has minted in the dark, hidden lands of "Steam > Settings > Beta Participation > Skyrim Beta".
