Skyrim combat vs Fallout3 combat on PC.

Just started up FO3, and had to use the baseball bat a bit, and whilst it could feel more satisfying when whacking someone, is it fair to say that Skyrims combat is no worse than FO3's in that regard?

I just started up a new game of FO3 as well, after playing a little Oblivion and finishing a game of New Vegas last week. I never thought about it much but for all the other complaints, they definitely made a lot of little improvements to the interface over the years.
Some things look a lot better too, like faces.

Does the kill cam cinematic kick in all the time or is it random?

Random, thankfully. Not overdone.

Skyrim needs a Dead Island mod. That game might not have been perfect, but if it did something right, it captured the physicality of hand-to-hand combat.

I'll get it eventually, but it's $90AUD on steam atm.
I'm playing FO3 on a 6850 up from a 4850, one smooth transition, I hope Skyrim is as smooth+I'm using a HD texture pack as well.

Skyrim should run smoothly on your setup. It's not very demanding.

I played Demon's Souls just before Skyrim, so to me the combat seemed very primitive and floaty. I'm mixing it up now though with spells (ALL schools), shouts, melee (2x1h), and bows, so the combat is more fun and varied now.

Hahha yeah I know what you mean. I felt like it was happening all the time in FO3/FONV, but in this game it seems less common and more satisfying.
