Favorite Killscene

Post » Thu Jun 07, 2012 9:14 pm

So, which killscene do the Gamers of Skyrim anticipate the most to get?

I do prefer the one as sword 'n board where you bash the opponent with your shield, then drive your sword through their heart and push them to rest with your foot. Simple, tactically useful and a quick death.

Sneaking up behind someone to slit their throats is my favorite, which is good since I see it so often.

I like the combat finisher when you take a pair of swords and drive them both through the gut of your last opponent and then just toss them off of the weapons... I also like all of the assassination animations when they bother to show up...

The dual swords animation is especially epic when you end up tossing them off a cliff. =3

Next one up is the shield bash spinning kill

I like the one when it doesn't happen.

It's a meaningless, awkward, ugly, clipping piece of work that doesn't belong here.

I enjoyed doing these while I do the dark brotherhood forever quests.

I like the one when you bash the guy with your 2-handed sword, he stumbles and bends over and you decapiatate him.

I love it especially when it decides to do it in 1st person too, it`s like YOU making the kill move.

However, it can be a little slow and leaving you thinking, `what`s going on?` It needs to be a bit faster (about 10%) and smoother I think.

I can`t help but think of that Oblivion Mod whenever I see this. and that was technically better done...

The one when you are dual wielding and decapitate their head. Gives me such a power trip lol.

i like the one that my orc climbed on the dragon's head and started to "split" his skull with his axes. a really big surprize to see that happen, and managed only from the middle of the action to capture it. it was a first, an only time, until now, that that has happened

Question: Anyone know of a setting or mod that changes it 'so that you constantly see the killscene from the original perspective? I hate the effect of the camera movement.

My favorite is the one where you execute someone who's crawling around on the floor with a sliver of health left. then I think "Thank God that guy wasn't essential"

For fighting against humanoid baddies, I always enjoy performing the decap kills from the One-Handed skill perks.

I also think the finishing move against dragons where you climb atop the dragon and plunge a sword through the top of its head looks pretty awesome, too.

I so totally agree, :devil: I managed to toss a guy off the side of Throat of the World once... :devil: I just wish I had been able to record it... :devil:

Stab in the heart, then a slice to the throat is my favourite.

Wait, there's one handed decaps? They why the %^$ do you havreto buy a perk to get two handed decaps?

Still, the two-hand decaps are my favorite, mostly because my character is modeled very closely on a table top character who scored a fair number of them. They do look good, but I wish they applied to all targets, not just solo playable races. Decapping a bear or dragon would be fun (though should require a hit that does massive damage), and decapps in the middle of fight scenes would provide some needed breathing room for the player (though I'm sure some would not like it; you'd need to make them easy to toggle.)

Don't get them much and mostly it stays tight in nearly first person so you don't see anything much, only ever got the dragon once and have been owning all sorts of the big Lizzie's

The Hand-to-Hand finishers are awesome, too bad H2H requires more cajolery than it's worth to be even remotely approaching almost viable.

I like the werewolf's skull-crusher finisher. Too bad it doesn't seem to always work and you'll sometimes do the head-toss instead (so it's like a random chance within a random chance).

The higher level you and your weapon skill are as compared to your opponent, the more likely -- it appears -- you are to score a finishing move.

Topic: I love 2-handed weapon finishers. One time my character was fighting a bandit chief and all of sudden, while doing a finisher, my character said "See you in Sovngarde" (or something very much like that) and then decapitated the bandit chief. Total awesome.

I thoroughly enjoy when my character who dual wields slashes the tendons in the legs and then proceeds to decapitate them. Or when in stealth he slits their throat, or when using a great sword he just swings the sword overhead and decapitates its just so awesome looking.

My favorite monster kill move is the falmer one where you stab them in the tempel, simple, quick, and just vicious. Oh and when I kick a wolf in the face and stab it in the head is pretty sweet. Another is when fighting a dragon with a two-handed great sword, the power of the 2 hits is what i love, how the hit feels when it registers XD.

My favorite had to be when I grabbed a female forsworn from behind. Used my shield to pull her backwards and shoved my sword through her heart. I finished my move by shoving her off the sword and got a good shot of what looks like me pushing her down with a foot. Epic!

My other favorite is the one where I had dual Blades swords. I went up to one of the guards and shoved both swords through his neck, then got a complete dual sword decap while he was on his knees. Never been able to get that move ever again, so sad.


I actually have a bunch of great kill shots posted over on Nexus.
