Kill cam? Heh...found something better...

I was stalking elk west of Whiterun, had a nice shot lined up, slowly leading the deer as it trotted away, and let loose an arrow. The animation started, looked to be a kill shot, then as it neared the elk....the arrow bounced off some rocks! WTF!!!?!?! LOL!

Anyone else experience an epic miss and get an animation for it?

It's happened quite a few times when doing some mudcrab soul hunting. Mostly the arrows end up hitting a rock, but one was just a clean miss.

I've been in situations before in caves where I'd line up a shot on a distant NPC and fire, only to see an outstanding cinematic animation of the arrow striking... a mug on the table in front of the guy.

I haven't had any of those, but I have seen a killcam for magic not actually kill the enemy and sometimes even got a 2nd killcam on the same enemy to finish them off. I guess its still a little bit buggy, but amusing nonetheless.
