So, I found a dragon, went "front on" changed to sword in right hand and spell in left. LOW AND BEHOLD I had a finishing move!

So, firstly thanks again for the tip.
Secondly, Beth, seriously? I can't have a finishing move if my character is left handed???!!!

So, you can get married in this game, but your not aloud to be left handed if you want all the game can offer in combat..
Is it just me or is there something wrong with that?

I'm just I'm lucky that I don't want to use a shield as well....

Yes you can get married...but you can't change potion names either...whichever hand you use...
i was wondering is there any benefit from getting married? other than roleplaying a sims?

Right, you can't "roleplay" being lefthanded in Skyrim, since the game will always concider the left hand your offhand. You only have about 1 standard swing and 1 power swing with your left, whereas if you use your right you have about 20 different animations depending on wether you're running/walking, holding right/left/forwards/backwards.

Kill animations are not hard to get. You just have to make sure you're on relatively even footing, especially with dragons and giants, and that it's on the last person standing. You don't have much control over which animation triggers save for standing behind or infront of someone, and you get a couple different animations if you execute someone who's yielding.
