You're mostly right, but check this out:
That's from the destruction page on the UESP. So I wonder if there's more, because people on fire at low health, and I don't have that perk, tend to act weird IMO.

The weapon glow is the paralysis green, as opposed to the life drain red, so I'll have to give that a try. Fortunately I've stockpiled ebony and daedra hearts for just this reason (among others)...
I've noticed even in melee that if I smack somebody around but don't kill them, often now they'll start blubbering "no, please, don't kill me!" and go running for help. They usually come back with that particular dungeon's boss/bandit chief/whatever. Sometimes I'll find one cowering in a corner somewhere, clutching their head with both hands and shivering like they're standing on a frayed wire (simile, not bug).
Heh, there have been several times recently where I've smashed somebody with a 2-handed killing blow so apparently powerful that it either annihilates the corpse entirely or pushes it down through the ground to plummet into the void. Then there was the time I blasted a draugr with "Incinerate" which has a knockback on death component, and it embedded the Draugr Deathlord in a nearby wall, where his limbs flailed like one of those wacky waving inflatable whatchamajigger guys.
That one I'm used to, like when I've got someone to almost dead and they start screaming "mercy," or "I can't defeat you," but this has been mobs just straight up running away from the bosses/other mobs, toward the exit. Oh, and I didn't actually kill the hunter... I just raised my flaming hands and poof - he was gone before I could even start casting. But seriously, one random bug like that out of almost 200 hours played... not enough of an issue to bitch about, especially since he wasn't a quest mob, he was just some random guy that I was going to punish for poaching murder for the fun of it.

Just be careful to murder all witnesses too, because hunters, even though they be poachers, will add bounty to whatever hold you find them in.

I rescued him once. Not much, as it turns out. You don't even have the option to give him equipment, like you do the stormcloak prisoner captured by imperials.

Apparently that might have been just a bug though. Supposedly you are supposed to be able to share items with them, and perhaps even escort them to Windhelm/Palace of the Kings.
Looks like the information I read about there being a console version of the Creation Kit was just misinformation posted by the blog. I was browsing the Bethesda Twitter account to see if the Creation Kit was still set for today and they said they will not support user mods on consoles in a tweet a few days ago.
Either way, excited for today!

Creation Kit is ONLINE through Steam! Just go to the Tools Library and start downloading. The Steam Workshop is active!

They also released a High Resolution Texture Package, which strangely shows many of the same screenshots from the main Skyrim page. Either they are lazy and didn't want to make new screenshots to show off the package, or many of the screenshots they were using to advertise skyrim were actually using this higher resolution package and people just never noticed.

Abarring the space core, yes, that's pretty much what the game looks like to me.
Yup, looks about how I see the game.
Heh. I did some calculations on upgrading things. Turns out, my graphics are just fine (aka, I want to be able to move in the next two years, not have a screamingly awesome computer in a shit-hole apartment with a crappy commute and no prospects of ever being able to buy a house or retire).
Holy shit, I haven't booted up Skyrim since the new patch, but even with the added HD textures (which are not really that impressive, game doesn't really look much better) the game is like smooth silky ultra butter. That 1.4 must've been a good patch.

Fuck, even in the Rift, solid 60 fps. No drops.

Well, now I'm curious. Post a screenshot for what it looks like for YOU.
