Hello, forum people.

After finding a few skill books in Skyrim and reading 'Killing- before you're killed' i had an idea for the finishing moves/kill cams.

So, when you read a Skill book, it will automatically increases your level in whatever the subject the book is, i thought why not step this up a notch further? why not have some really rare books, when you read them you will learn a special move for finishing certain enemy's, for example: if you read the book 'Troll slaying' you'll gain the troll slaying finishing move, if you read a book about how to kill vampires you gain a fancy move for dispatching Vampires.

i just find it weird that your character knows exactly how to take down certain enemy's without learning how to kill them properly, such as when my character somehow managed to jump on the head of a dragon and stab its face- yes it was awesome but i think you should have to learn how to do it before you can actually do it, if that makes sense?
maybe they could put this in a DLC?
...thoughts?

That'd be awesome. Like, you could discover a weak point on trolls and attack that in a special way to finish it off. I'd love skillbooks like that, simply having it be a skill increase is so bland.

Learning how to perform realistic, lethal blows on certain types of enemies from a book makes sense... but learning how to do some fancy cinematic move that's effectively just showing off in order to gratify action movie fans (which is the impression I get from most of Skyrim's finishing moves)? Not so much. Unless we have a book called Zack Snyder's Lame Guide to Cinematic Wankery...

I know, anybody would think you were playing a computer game.

This should have been taken a step further by giving us race based kill cams.

Eh, i think that's going a bit far, unless you mean beast races bite or something?
