Been playing this game since it came out, but just recently saw a finishing move I've never seen before. It happened in Helgen when my character was level one so no special perks involved. My character had a sword in the right hand and nothing equipped in the left hand. When he attacked he jumped in the air and used a thrusting stab to the enemy's stomach. I searched videos on youtube to see if I can find the move again and never saw it. Has anyone else done this? Is it related to not having anything in the Left hand? Is there any specific info about what causes certain finishing moves to trigger?

I get that killcam way too much if using 1 handed.

its been a long time but I remember there use to be a suplex unarmed kill move, As well as neck breakers and choke holds. I have not seen those in quite some time and they were my favs.

But the leaping sword thrust isn't rare. I get it often enough but not as often as I'd like because its pretty cool.

Yeah I get this one and the upward thrust into the stomach that lifts the enemy off the ground alot.

Does it only work if the left hand has nothing? I don't think I've ever seen it happen with a shield or spell in the left hand.

I usually play a Duel Wielder or Sword and Board character for combat. My latest is a Dagger right hand, spell left hand character and I finally saw this move! I see it more frequently now with her

I dislike the killcams in this game, but that one is just cool.
