The anti-short people kill cam will never not be hilariously evil.

This only seems to happen to the short Bosmer if you’re a really tall character. Hasn’t happened any other time for me. But I just always feel so bad. It’s like stomping and stabbing puppies. That guy looked like he’d never hurt anyone in his life! There’s being a murderer and then there’s just being an evil maniac that would trample little elves. Can’t just stab the guy in the back like you would most people, nope, gotta go that extra mile for Bosmer. Clearly one of the devs has something against Wood Elves. Or maybe just short people in general.

I wonder how this would work for my tiny Bosmer character?

I purposely made her as short as possible, and it was hilarious when she emerged from the prison and met Lyris.
I switched to 1st person view and i was literally staring at Lyris's belly button ...

Hmm, I liked that animation and wondered why I didn't get more of those options to show. Maybe they all have a trigger, like how the thrown knife happens when you're farther back.

Darn. I like my character mid-height or shorter so I'll probably rarely see this animation.

I much prefer making short characters... although I tend to make Bosmer medium to tall... I make all other races as short as possible.

My main and first character is a wood elf and I wasn't paying attention to how tall he was. So when I started playing I kept wondering why I always had boobs in my face. Of course I wasn't complaining much....just couldn't see too well.

My dunmer is somewhere in the middle height wise and will sometimes get a pretty cool one where she lifts a Bosmer up by their arm and plunges a knife in their chest. Would be pretty cool to see some reversals, with short characters climbing tall ones like a jungle gym to stab their neck or something lmfao

I don't get it. Is this just inverse kinematics putting her foot on the guy laying down?

It's a Blade of Woe Assassination Animation.

Say that fives times fast...

I have no cool kill cams if I murder someone on my lil bosmer

Verbal_Earthworm · September 2017

My only stabber is a tiny bosmer female and i have never seen this animation, perhaps i never will... :'(

To turn on/off:

Find the line:
SET AssassinationKillCamera "1"

I only have blade of woe on my Nords atm. I make my Nords and Altmer as tall as possible but haven't really BoWed many Bosmer. Looks like a killing spree in Grahtwood after work.

You probably quite often see one where she grabs the victim by the ankles and yanks their feet out from under them before the backstab?

Almost always.

Ooh, that's exlusive to short characters? I get it all the time on my khajiit, which is kinda sad considering his height is set to max

I don't know that it is exclusive to short characters, but I notice I get it a lot on my short dunmer, and a lot more variety of kill cams on my tall nord.

RaddlemanNumber7 · September 2017

All my DB cultists are short people, so I'd never seen that animation before

Used a PTS template to make the tallest Altmer I could, used the BoW on the first bosmer I found and stamped on him like he was a bug

I think I need another Assassin.

SolidusPrime · September 2017

Interesting. My character is middle of the road as far as height goes, and I've seen all of the animations people are talking about here.

To me, it just seems as though some NPCs are more inclined to do certain animations. The purple-hued npc is St. Olms Wasteworks, for instance, almost always gets the head-stab, or arm-lift one, whereas 99% of the time I don't see that on other NPCs.

Maybe it's also tied into height. I never really considered that.
