Killmove 100% chance does not happen very often as expected

[Cren12]

Hi guys,

 

I have Skyrim 1.6.89.0.6 and I'm using

• The Dance of Death;
  
• AKM - Andvanced Killmoves;
  
• console command \set killmoverandom to 100
  

to set 100% chance of kill move during a fight, bypassing perk restriction system and the 'last enemy' condition. In fact, I thought that in such a way I would have seen kill move at the end of each kill, starting from wolves ending to dragons.

 

But... what I'm actually living in Skyrim is that kill moves are quite... rare.

 

It happened to me I was in a dungeon with undeads and no a single kill move triggered while I was killing them with bow (yes, I edited my Skyrimi.ini to set 100% ranged kill move chance) or double sword.

 

When you've got 100% kill move chance, you slain 10 ~ 15 enemies and you don't see at least ONE kill move... there's something wrong.

 

I've also tried to use just a single mod at a time instead of those three, nothin' changes.

 

Is there anything I'm forgetting to do in order to get 100% REAL chance?

 

Are there situations in which executing a kill move is actually impossible regardless of kill move chance?

 

Thanks,

If you enter in an Invalid number for the percentage, It's probably not going to tell you. I'd try setting it to 90 percent and see if you have any changes.

Thank you, formalrevya, I will try to set it below 100% (e.g. 90%).

 

Do you suggest me to use The Dance of Death or AKM (instead of both of them)?

 

I tell you another 'strange' example: it's about killing someone sneaking back; I've used several times quick save / quick load in order to test kill move REAL chance, and I noticed there are NPCs whom I can kill always executing kill move while there are others whom I'm not able to kill in kill move anytime.

 

I almost guess there are circumstances in which software developers used script which disable kill move at all.

 

Is it possible?

I'd suggest using Dance of Death. It's not from any personal Bias, I don't use either one because I tend to end up getting Kill move animations a lot without changing any values. But they both seem to do the same thing, and AKM hasn't been updated since may. I'm fairly certain some new updates to Skyrim have come out since then, and It may no longer be compatible with the game. May even be causing your kill move problems.

 

And I suppose it is possible that the developers did do that, if they did It's pretty hush. and the only way to find out for sure would be to either ask the develop that worked on that aspect of the game, or someone who had tinkered around with that aspect of the game. This is an area where I'm not the most Knowledgable person.

 

 

I would do the following.

 

Uninstall AKM, Uninstall Dance of Death.

 

Launch your game, Make a save, then Quit.

 

Reinstall Dance of Death, To make sure it overwrites any files that AKM might have tampered with.

 

Load your game.

 

And only use The configuration Menu that comes with Dance of Death to change factors like Kill move Chance. Reading the mod description page, it definitely has an option to do so.

 

having two mods that do the same thing and using console commands to also change around things that the mods do, Is generally going to lead to confusion.

Skyrim or the CK? If your game is out of date then don't expect things to work correctly.
