Finish Him!

Rougestar

Would you like the option to have a death/ killing blow animation? This would be similar to Skyrim only in real time and during this 2-3 second animation you take no damage/ recover no resources etc. Like animations already in place for feeding/ blade of woe only for use during combat once a foe is below 1-2% health.

Nah. For PVP, definitely not.

For PVE, I really don't want a slow motion stylized killing shot....for a Mudcrab.

Worse you kill the mudcab go into slow motion then you get boss mechanism, fungal 1 final boss is an example
Better death animation on bosses might be cool.

Yeah, a boss finisher animation would be great! For anything else, I believe this would just get annoying.

I would like it, but maybe only for dungeon/delve bosses.
Definitely not in pvp, or you might be watching your beautiful kill animation in your own death recap.

It would be EXTREMELY annoying for anything other than bosses. Imagine the frustration of seeing your camera cut to a slow-mo death of an innocent 1 HP rabbit that happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time when you cast that elemental blockade.

In age of conan we had those. Was *** awesome if your char grows to the same size like the boss and u cut em into pieces ^^

Yes

I would love some more cinematic elements in the game.

While a slowed down kill cam would be epic, I think it would be simpler for zos to make some new death emotes and have them linked to specific abilities, so if you kill a humanoid with a certain ability they sometimes use a certain death emote.

e.g. kill someone with shield bash or crystal frags they get knocked backwards.
kill someone with assassins blade, snipe, hidden blade or puncture and they clutch their heart as though it has been stabbed
kill someone with concealed weapon, low slash or twin slashes they collapse forward holding their stomach as though disembowelled.

This is probably a good time to give some praise to zos as they already have some of this. If you jump into a bottomless pit the camera kind of hovers back making it clear you are in a void. Being able to disintegrate people with shock, reduce them to mouldering corpses through poison, piles of ash through fire, all awesome. The best has to be the frost animation which freezes people into a snowman that flakes apart, I love seeing that one.

The lag when a trial boss dies is your execute animation, it's intended you know!

SydneyGrey

No

Perhaps for bosses only.
If it's for every single trash mob, it would get annoying really fast. I don't want my game play slowed down by an animation that does nothing. It was annoying in Skyrim, too.

The "getting dressed" animation when you change costumes is annoying enough. (And what the heck is the deal with that "pulling the invisible string at the elbow" movement? Gah!)

Kaliki

No

I find the existing animations for blade of woe extremely irritating. Same goes for finishing moves in Skyrim.

I do not like losing control over my character.
Also, even if those animations look cool in the beginning, I think it is very likely that they become boring and annoying once the novelty wears off.

Rickter

Yes

Man i thought this would be popular. Have any of you played Shadow of Mordor? I want the y+b/triangle+circle insta execution animations! That would be downright awesome!

Fishoscandi

No

If I could skip it, sure

No

This is already implemented when you kill Molag Bal. But take in mind this was done because it was a boss and was being done during a single player quest where such action do not interfere with other players or give you an advantage. Will be problematic or making gaming more slower if it were implemented for open PVE instances (each faction and dlc zones and PVP).

Rohamad_Ali

Yes

I think in duels this would be a great addition if a toggle option before duel . Open world PVP it would just slow down combat and probably lead to the person with the killing blow falling to another player after .

It would be interesting to give combat a more unique feel.

Teridaxus

No

How about no?
I already end up in walls the whole time because of the blade of woe.

Also a waste of dev time and resources.

Karmanorway

Yes

This would be cool, but only in duels 1vs1

What are you even doing to have that happen? Trying to stab people leaning against things?

Hell yea, it was awesome in AoC
