Heartcloud Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Do killmoves for unarmed combat and magic exist? If they do does anyone know if they activate the same way as archery/weapon combat? Unarmed and magic killmoves never activate for me for some reason. For testing purposes I've set "killmoverandom" and "decapitationchance" both to 100. Weapon and archery combat killmove activates around 80% of the time, which is satisfactory, but unarmed and magic never activated even once...

thompsonar Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 They certainly exist. I've seen quite a few magic kill moves since they were added. The new patch is supposed to change how/when they initiate. Are you using the latest patch? Perhaps that has something to do with it? I'm not sure how you could make them appear more frequently though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartcloud Posted June 12, 2012 Author Share Posted June 12, 2012 (edited) Yes I'm using latest patch, not the 1.6 since that's gonna completely wreck the game with mods, I'm using the latest 1.5.xx. It's not that big of a problem since unarmed combat is completely useless and destruction magic is next to useless, but from the youtube videos destruction magic killmoves look pretty cool. I set destruction magic to 100 and enabled all the perks, then used something like firebolt to kill an enemy repeatedly (resurrect with console), the killmove did not activate even once. Switch out my bow, the killmove almost always happens.Yeah another bug to add to Skyrim's ultra-long list of bugs.

invertedpanda Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Unarmed killmoves exist and are AWESOME. Some great stuff, plus some wrestling-themed stuff. My favorite is where your character grab's the baddy's head and slams 3 punches right in their face. It's especially good from first person, and I crack up every time :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartcloud Posted June 12, 2012 Author Share Posted June 12, 2012 I know they exist from the youtube videos, I was asking how to activate them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbe Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 (edited) magic & arrow are both random but can be slightly customized to appear more often.Hand to hand killmoves appear very often by simply...punching people to death. You should get the Dance of Death mod and set your chances 100% then try punching someone dead, you'll get a kill move. The description also has details for how to customize the chance of getting magic/arrow kill cams but they can't be set to appear 100% of the time. As a vampire mage who's set the killmove chance to 70% via dance of death, I get magic kill moves relatively often, though not 70% of the time. here:http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/10906 Edited June 12, 2012 by bbe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartcloud Posted June 12, 2012 Author Share Posted June 12, 2012 Yeah I already have dance of death. I've already set killmoverandom to 100 like I mentioned, but it's still not happening. Is there some kind of trick you have to do? Like hit the enemy from a certan direction or something? So I initiate a fight against say a bandit, I've set my unarmed damage to very high for the purpose of saving time, the bandit has 10% HP left, I hold down forward then tap punch (I heard power attacks don't work well for killmoves), my character simply does a regular punch and kills him.

bbe Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 in that case I don't know, have you tried removing the perk restriction via DoD options? Unarmed killmoves work for me just fine using DoD so it must be something weird on your end... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
