Better kill cam?

[SirGalahad]

I have to assume that the bad angles are often the result of the script working to avoid clipping. Would it not have been better for the camera to have been further back, and only shoot from angles that avoid clipping through objects altogether?

 

With the random zooming in and out, I generally cannot tell what is happening during the scripted kill animations. Has anyone ever addressed the camera, without adding new content or requiring special animation extensions?

This would all be fixed if you could just look around during killmove like you can in normal 3rd person.

OMG HELLS YEAH

 

That would be a fantastic option. My kid has another idea: Let the player stay in first-person during the scripted kill moves.

 

The game should have options that work, rather than features that don't.

I did write a mod that has first person killmoves and you can also enable slow motion while this is happening, but I have yet to found a way to enable free camera look during the killmove and without it you can't really understand what's going on because the screen is looking in some random direction most of the time. I didn't spend too much time on it though.
