PLEASE tell me you can turn Slow-Mo takedowns off : V

» Mon May 14, 2012 1:52 pm

I love the way the first-person take downs look, but I hate how the third person slow-mo take downs happen so often ( from what i've seen of gameplay footages )
Please tell me there's a way to turn them off so it's just first person takedowns? I know PC players will probably be able to MOD this, but can console players turn this off too?
If not and they don't fix this with a patch i'll be pissed, don't need to spend 2 hours of 200 hours watching a slow-mo takedown from the third person view that doesn't even contact with the enemy sometimes.

Nope.

Nope.

Damn, I hope they patch it in.

Nope.

Are we sure about that? Obsidian has a "kill cam" toggle in FO:NV.

Yes, but that's Obsidian. I believe the Hinelord confirmed that you cannot turn the slow-mos off.

Except if you are on the PC ofcourse. I suppose you can edit it out in the .ini file.

Bummer. It does get tiresome after a while. Here's hoping you're right about it being in the ini.

Well, you could exclusively play archer/mage characters, that way you won't get any slow-mos at all.

Nope.

So it's not possible to disable finishing moves in the options? :shakehead:

I'm still uncertain about this. Pete Hines said no, but I think he may have been referring to whether we can turn all finishers off completely. Someone who tried a hands-on demo of the game said that 3rd-person finishers could be disabled in the control settings (though i'm not sure how trustworthy this is).

If they cannot be disabled, it'll be the first thing I mod out of the game.

I hated the slow mo cam in Fallout. If it can't be disabled, it will be modded.

How does slow-mo takedowns work in fights against multiple enemies? Does the game pause? or will the giant hit you while you watch the animation of you killing a rat?

The slow-mo camera in Fallout 3 had one nice effect it often let you see around corners.

I may be mistaken, but I believe that if you are in combat with multiple enemies you will only have a chance to have a finisher on the last enemy remaining.

i hope its modded for better suited timing.. an epic killshot on a quest target/ dungeon boss or whatnot is cool but randomly walking down a path and pulling off a spin move shield bash to sword slash on a wolf is just lame and out of place.

» Mon May 14, 2012 11:53 pm

Meh big wop.

» Mon May 14, 2012 11:34 am

That would really svck! The first person finishers are OK, but the third person one are not only annoying, but look terrible! I really hope there is at least an option to remove the third person finishers. I'm playing a pure mage character though, so eh.

NO! They look Badass!

I don't see what the problem is with 3rd person finishing moves. Atleast its something new... If people dislike them that much, we'd still be at Oblivions combat style.

I spin move shield bash woodland creatures on my way to work everyday so it works for me ha

I'll be amazed if they don't have a toggle option since they know they have a big RP'er fan base.

If strange blades of grass can kill immersion im pretty sure a random out of body experience is going to wreck it O.o

The farms are ugly too. And the fish waters.

@Gary Pancakes What do you mean the farms and fish waters are ugly?

» Mon May 14, 2012 1:44 pm

How is that even relevent?

What a shame.

I'm pretty sure you can actually.
