Kill Animations

Post » Sun Jun 03, 2012 12:02 am

Could anyone please tell me how to turn these off?.

I thought these were designed so they only came up every now and then, but when I play as my assassin class with daggers it seems nearly every kill is a cinematic, is this just because there one hit kills and they automatically go to cinematic?.

I would just out up with them withiut posting on here but they were interfering with the game last night and caused me a death, I was doing that Thieves Guild mission with the beehives and I killed one guy, his mate came running over and killed me with one hit while I was still stuck in the cinematic unable to run away, so it was like an insta death as soon as I got out of the cutscene thing.

Now I don't mind being one shotted (if I can do it to them they should be able to do it to me) but to die because your stuck in a cinematic is annoying, I had a nightmare killing those guys because they always stayed close together. I had to wait till there was a 30 metre gap between them before attacking, then hopefully they would have time to rush over and kill me in the four or five seconds I was stick in cinematic land.

a.) this is the general forum here, no spoilers please
b.) you cannot turn them off unless you are on the pc. and then it's a .ini file tweak i believe. you'd have to google it.

You won't do an animation on one guy, whilst the other is attack you. It will only work on the last one, if all others are dead.

I believe the strength of the animation is similar to a power attack of your weapon, when their health is in that zone, it will trigger the animation. Even if you don't power attack.

Use a bow. No animations there.

TBH I kind of ignore them now. Only once or twice (during 300+ hours of play) have the animations gotten me into trouble due to multiple attacker and what-not.
