Thats so strange! I was just coming on here to say, despite the bugs ruining my game i just decapitated someone for the first time! A fire wielding mage bandit skulking around the remains of Helgen.
I was just gonna say how despite the bugs it is still one of, if not the best game i have ever played. When it works of course.
After decimating his friends is was so cool and insanely satisfying to remove the final guys head from his shoulders.
You have to take a perk from the warrior tree to be able to do decapitations. I am a dual wielding warrior mage so i've been leveling up one handed. The perk in that tree, Savage Strike, means standing power attacks do 25% bouns damage with a chance of decapitation.
It great when you pull it off and the guys head rolls down the hill!
EDIT: beaten to it! sorry guys, i was too busy boring my girlfiend with the details of my glory while writing my post!
