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.

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.

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.

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!)

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!

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).

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

Hell yea, it was awesome in AoC
