Can we execute downed enemies?

Question for all of you. Obviously we have finishers for when enemies are standing up and fighting, but what about when they're down and crawling away?

IMO, it'd be a lot more fun to kick that limping bandit chief onto his back before plunging a sword into his neck. Instead, I just whack him and he falls over.

Anyways, do executions exist? Or just finishers?

EDIT: I had a cool execution yesterday with dual swords where I put a bandit chief on her knees before crossing my swords through her neck. I was all "=O...=D" It'd be neat to do that when enemies are "down but not out", too.

You can actually do that. I often got finishing moves on downed enemies.. It's all based on luck, just like normal finishing moves.

Thanks. Do I have to do power moves? It's never happened to me, and I'm always downing enemies. After a tough fight with a Draugr Deathlord this morning, I was hoping for an execution. But, nope.

This is how I get most of my executions. I usually do power moves, and I also usually go around behind them first. Seems like it's easier than the front. I don't think there's any downed finishers though, they usually just automatically stand up and my character stabs them through the back.

Theres a console command that lets you adjust chances of finishing moves (google it if you want to know).

I've seen a downed finisher move ONCE. The guy was lying on his back and my dude slashed his throat. That was the only time I've seen it though, and it happened really quick and it looked somewhat awkward so it may just have a been a glitch.
