In my opinion, a very beautiful add for the game, it can be some brutals and spectacular finish attack when enemies die. For example an amputation of an arm or a head. This would make the game play more exciting and funny.
Something like Skyrim or Fallout?
it could be a good idea, specially using sneak attacks
They do not intend to implement this. And it is new feature, so surely do not expect it.
Yes, something like skyrim or the witcher
From the games I ever played, Ryse: Son of Rome had the best combat system, the best finishing moves and so on. I don’t expect KCD to be anywhere close to it, unfortunately. I also liked combat in Fable 3
I think that they are intending for much more realism and from what I understand…decapitations would be virtually impossible in a combat situation.
Firstly it’s actually very hard to cut someones head off in a single blow. There have been instances when an execution at the specifically designed chopping block where the executioner had to strike more than blow to decapitate the head.
In the heat of battle…trying to decapitate someone who is wearing very protective armour would be impossible. It’s more about trying to get that quick kill strike and move on to the next opponent as quickly as possible. Really is no time to think about fancy looking moves!
How about this from Fallout?
Saying that though…I did see on a program not too long ago that basically all armoured knights did carry a small dagger blade that they would use for a quick kill on another heavily armoured knight if they managed to knock them down.
They would quickly try and lift up the fallen knights helmet visor and stab them in the face or lift up the helmet enough to expose the throat.
A few animations of fast kills like this would be cool and not unrealistic.
