I am one of the poeple who enjoy the idea of the finishing moves they sound like good fun, but I was wondering, as someone who makes alot of stealthy characters, will I be able to to go straight into a finisher from a sneak attack (the finisher being the initial attack) In other words, could I sneak up behind someone with my dual dagger set-up and just get I one hit strike on them with a finisher before they see me, e.g just muzzle them and cut their throat, or something along those lines. I remember seeing something like this in the gameplay trailer, but I was unsure as to whether this being as common a feature as "regular" finishing moves (in open combat), as it would be something that really interests me. Just wanted to know if there is any confirmation, and this thread is open to any debate on things relavent to stealth, finishers etc, and things of that nature.

Firstly, "dual daggers" is a recipe for fail.

I also hope this is in.

Dual daggers is the recipe for the traditional rogue in RPG's and most useful for big critical backstabs while sneaking up on an enemy's backside. Hopefully, there will be a good build for a dual wielding dagger setup.

If you say so.... But an open hand can lead to grabs, holds, and other advantages for manipulation.

Look at the Official Trailer...Stealth finisher are in since then....

...in real life, yes. I wouldn't have thought having a dagger in your off-hand would prevent finishing moves in Skyrim though.

Seeing as any kill hit can trigger a finishing move, and seeing as there's a 15x damage perk for dagger stealth hits, I'd imagine you can get quite a few assassination finishers.

Pardon me. My realism really tends to judging video games a tad too much. XD

And I will be carrying a dagger. Always.
