I personally dislike them a lot, just as predicted. I want them gone from my game and I'm waiting for a PC mod to come out and fix this.

I believe JustinOther has already done it.

I'll post a link when I find it.

I had one the other day when I as fighting a dragon. I jumped on top of it's head and thrust my sword into its head. It was awesome. Some can be annoying, but against a dragon, I was just glad the thing died.

Yeah i dislike them and would like them gone. They look pretty cool when you are finishing off Dragons or something but on every wolf it is a pain and very distracting. Makes the whole thing feel more hack and slash than rpg.

I just wish there was a bit more variety, other than that they're ok I guess.

Toggle option or no finishing moves on anything less than a frost troll would be fine. Also on 1st person only 1st person finishers.

If they happen during a mundane fight with wolves or bandits they seem ostentatious. With higher level enemies they add a dramatic touch. Though the sequence where you hop on a dragon's head to finish him off is too drawn out, having in mind from one point dragons seem to be at least as common as bears. As for backstab animations, I love them.

8/10 times I fight a wolf, I'm forced into a 3rd person finisher, when I just want to kill the damn thing myself. Worse, I recently fought a particularly tough bandit chief who I almost couldn't kill precisely because he kept on having third person kills on me, which felt incrediblly unfair - it was as if I was losing the combat without having a chance to defend myself.

It's a gimmick, it really is.

The ONLY problem I have with third person finishers is that going from first to third makes you wonder if it's YOU or the bandit leader getting the sword shoved up the belly...

...
In several battles I have thought I was a goner, and on some occations I thought I was doing the killing.

The forced 3rd person finishers... we've now all experienced them in Skyrim. What do you think of them? Do you want them gone and dislike them? Would you rather everything to be 1st person finishers if you are in 1st person?

Discuss.

The only thing I can really say that bothers me at all about forced 3rd person is that I always think I died when it changes from 1st person to 3rd.

I don't mind them much, although I guess when I'm in first person I would prefer all of my finishers to be in first person as well.

I like the finishing moves, but I hate how it pans out to third person most of the time. I prefer them in first person, please.

I like them WHEN THEY WORK... but some of them just look flat out awful.

Given a choice, I'd prefer 1st person all the time.

The only strange thing about this all is that there are third person ones and first person ones as well.... I would rather stick to one of them..

I really like them a lot. It's interesting to watch my characters making the killing shot. I want them there for archery too.

With my two hander axe on my second character I tend to get them alot more than I usually have, but I like it since It takes just about the same time to watch the finisher instead of swinging my own giant axe at it. I love to see my character just be bad ass and cleave all my enemis heads off :D

On my sneaky archer / dual wielding bosmer I tend to get them a lot less rare, but they only tend to happen when I fight the last of a big group of enemies and well... The timing seems to fit incredibly well and I allways get that AWW YEAH feeling whenever they come because the timing is so good.

I never get them on my main character because he doesn't use weapons.

What upsets me is getting a finisher used on me by an opponent, lol, I've had some spectacularly irritating deaths this way.

im really sick of them... im sick of seeing the same finisher every other fight, im sick of the crappy camera clipping into my shoulder instead of even showing me the finisher, im sick of slapping every other damn enemy with my claws for 30 seconds as a were-wolf and im sick of everyone insta-killing me with finishers when they could not possibly have done enough damage to kill me with a normal or power attack. the first person ones look really choppy and unfinished, and the third person ones seem to imply i have steroid strength and can just hold a fully armored orc up in the air impaled on a 20lb greatsword no problem. by far the most satisfying kills for me are bashing dwemer robots apart with normal attacks and slicing someone across the face with a sideways power attack... and im a dirty-stinkin' console player, so i cant remove them with mods.

it was great in fallout because VATS was cinematic for every attack, so finishers werent so jarring, but theyre so haphazardly thrown into skyrim, i just want them gone.

I would like an optional setting to disable third-person finishers. I don't mind first-person ones, but I expected this game to be a little more grown up than Fallout 3.

I voted that I want them gone, but only because every time I see one I find myself wondering what was left out of the game to make room for them. I'd rather have more spells, items, monsters or whatever than a gimmick.
