Kill moves

Think TESO ever plans on adding kill moves like Skyrim had? Age of Conan has them and they're AWESOME.

No they want this game tonbe PG13 with an M rating. I got warned for wanted public...cant say the word or ill get banned but its what you witness when you first enter solitude

vegeta0585b14_ESO

That's silly, all the elder scrolls games have had gore, decapitation, etc. Heck, morrowind and before had dirty books with graphic sex scenes.

Personally I would love it, ESO seems way too cutesy to me, and always has done for a long long long time, and merely hints at darker undertones with the proverbial razed villages, or w/e..

They just want the game available to as many as possible, cant really blame them.

Aye but they already have an M rating, that wont change. AoC is rating M and has those fatalities + full frontal nudity.

Aye I hear ye, this great idea will just join a very long line of what Zeni should do for quality of life improvements if nothing else.

A lot of players I would imagine, would like this, and a lot will be against it.

I am for it:}

If you had a bit of imagination you'd know that implementing this amount of gore/blood would turn the whole PvP into one huge red screen.

AoC has big giant pvp like teso called sieges, it works fine

and sometimes when the enemy bugs and respawns without his head I get a giggle.

I don't see them adding kill moves. Too many other things already on their to-do list.

That could be part of what's released with the brutality pack ( concept here http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/222351/brutality-pack-concept) but there is some concern with the timing. would players be invulnerable while they perform kill moves?

You are not the first person to make a thread about killcams, or perhaps you are the same person making another thread about them lol

Either way I will say what I said then: It will be very easy for someone to gank you in Cyrodiil while you're stuck in a killcam moment, among other disadvantages.

akredon_ESO

In a way we already have kill moves with Magicka Attacks either turning into a pile or Ash, Dying to disease or some other little affect like that. We need melee weapon kills. need some heads to roll

You're immune and get a neat buff, it's a crit change type thing in aoc.

This is also the first post I've made as I havnt played in a long time.

They are in AoC, you are immune and you heal some hp and mana over time. Not every kill is a finisher, there is fatality chance just like crit chance.

The problem is that ESO started out with an "16" rating, and only got pushed over to "M" with the justice system, all the thievery and murder there... so while the rating is "M", most of the game is kinda "16".

And yes, that vexes me too, I mentioned it in the other thread, we wouldn't even need finisher animations, it would be enough to add death animations for weapon kills, which would ve possible using the very same mechanic as the fatality animations for magic critical kills that are already in the game...
Of course, there are a lot more corners of the game that might benefit from being "grittied up" with a bit of pixel bloodyness.
Yes, and naughtyness - I always like it when games don't just touch upon adult themes as eso indeed does, but also dare to show a reasonable bit of it. "Show, not tell" as Sheogorath so aptly mentioned. Age of Conan had their limited nudity, and a few quests that kinda felt like there ought to be more to them that the developers just didn't dare to touch upon... ESO has a few quests like that too where reading between the lines you can guess at something deeper. But I guess that is a iffy subject among game developers.. anyone remember the Mass Effect thing and all the misinformed outrage from... people I better not describe any further as to keep within the forum rules?

In any case, I would like to have things like that in my ESO, and I for one would certainly buy any "brutality pack" if they made that option available...

No, there should be a price for flourish. If that results in your corpse being rent apart then that is the price of being fancy when fancy need not apply.

This sounds like something that could very easily be exploitable...

ESO was M on release due to violance and depicting decapitation (heads on pikes, etc)

Nope, it wasn't. I preordered the game for the relase back last summer, and there is a "Rating:16" on it... it only went "M" with the 1.6 patch and justice system. There even was a pop up message back then where you had to reaffirm your committment to the game and the changed rating as I recall...

Most definitely rated M at release. Plenty of more sources. Note those are from pre release and at release. Anyone who was playing at release and following the game will remember Zennimax trying to argue it and failing.

The rating bumped from Pegi 16 to Pegi 18 with the justice system, however the esrb rating has always been 'M'.

Ah, difference in euro and american versions

Yep, would love kill moves. This game could use a lot more blood and gore.
