Addiction to finishing moves!

Post » Wed Jun 13, 2012 12:50 am

I LOVE slow-motion killing blows/shots. They never get old for me. I don't understand how they could.

No it doesn't, since it never works for me. My character levivatates on air on the left side of the dragon and kills by stabbing air next to it's head. Seriously, over 600 hours and i've not seen that work correctly once :goodjob:

Works correctly every time for me. Different bugs for different folks I guess!

I'm using an archer right now and I really like the finishing moves. Yeah there are a few times when it may get me in some trouble, but not often enough to be a problem.

Since I'm playing a Khajiit I am also using unarmed for melee fighting. The finishing moves for unarmed are great. I love the pounding and flipping. Well done Bethesda.

I like some of the finishers, but I dislike when magic cams change the point of view from my character and slowly zoom-in the dying target's back of the head.

Slicing a victims neck from behind with a dagger is REALLY satisfying with my rogue.

Yeah. I just wish they'd fix it up a bit so that I'm not slashing his forehead half the time....

Hello friends.First time around.First off all GREAT GAME.Second this is a positive thread.It seems that if i didnt make a finishing blow with a slow motion cam i am not satisfied so much.I am just wondering if someone has the same feel like me.OK so thank you for your response and have a nice play.By the way i have more than 200 hours gameplay.

No, hate them.

I've seen some of the magic finishers, and frankly, they are all extremely underwhelming and unsatisfying. You have a better, more satisfying view of the kill without the cam, in those cases. Maybe if they zoomed it out about twice as far, it might show more. As it is, if you get a fireball killcam, it's so close that you just see the victim dying while surrounded by an orange glow. Could as easily have been an unfortunate hairspray accident, as a fireball.

Sometimes they occur just before I want to take a picture. I get ready to set the camera and all...- "Nope! Let's do a killcam and show the great detail of the Slaughterfish's teeth while it's falling backwards in slow-mo!"

I absolutely love the killcams. I'm especially tickled with glee whenever my fighter removes someone's head. I'm so happy that there's no special combination that causes this to occur and that it appears random because it never gets old and is always a wonderful surprise. I'm glad that I waited to build a mage until I'm finished with my fighter build since 1.5 will contain killcams for magic users. Yipee!
Yes i am waiting for the mage character too because of the 1.5 new finishing killcams :)

The magic kill cams annoy the snot out of me. They just randomly freeze me and everyone else to show me lighting the enemy on fire from UH RLY KEWL ANGLE!111!
Like wtf, why? Your character doesn't even do anything unique, the camera angle just changes. It'd be like if Mortal Kombat did the whole "FINISH HIM!!!!" scene and then they showed an overly-cinematic viewing of your character throwing a basic punch.
THIS is what one developer did during their "creativity" week, and Beth is BRAGGING about this? Fire the guy.

Archery Killcams should be maybe a bit more selective. Maybe only really impressive shots (Ultra-long distance) where you really want to savor that snipe attack. Magic Killcams.... Probably wasn't such a good idea. Maybe if they would only trigger on Boss encounters, (the last enemy of a boss group, or just the boss himself if he's alone). That's being generous though. If they had done Magic Executions, I might be singing a different tune.

Yup.

Hopefully people will see through the hyperbole in due course. Rest of us will just have to wait. If you want a toggle option vote in the poll below.

Didn't they just add more kill moves for Two handers? I just rolled a 2 hand Nord Barbarian and I just saw a new kill animation where you tripple chop them vertically with your sword.

Saw another with the great axe where I grabbed the dude by the shoulders and then headbanged him to death! That was freakin sweet.
