Terrain, and cinematic kill cam. : V

» Tue Apr 27, 2010 7:20 pm

Is all of skyrim made up of Mountains and snow?

And does anyone else think it would be neat to add an optoinal cinematic killcam, where you're character performs a special excution move on the enemy, while there at low health?

If its a quick little thing that takes only a second or two I would love it. Along with stealth kills and knock outs.

EDIT no its not all mountains and snow, there are valleys and forests etc as well at the lower ends of the mountains n such

And by kill cam I hope you dont mean like some slo mo replay of a kill or something. Im just talking a squck animation done in first person

Skyrim is not made up of only snow and mountains, take a look at Solstheim in Morrowind's expansion Bloodmoon, Skyrim will be kinda like that. But it is a cold enviromnent so ice will be very common, but I can see a lot of variation in the landscape:

-Icy wastelands
-Snow deserts
-Frozen lakes
-Tundra
-Taiga
-Rocky cliffs
-Snowy moutains
-Boreal forests
-Pine forests

And no, FNV killcam was annoying as hell...

I would absolutely hate a killcam, just being honest.

According to lore, no.

Whether it will be that way in-game or not, we don't know yet.

I don't. YMMV

Yes i mean a 1-2 second first or third person(whatever you're playing in) excutional strike.

No, don't want it :nope:

I don't see the need to celebrate the death of an enemy.

Also, it'd really svck in combat with more than one combatant.

At least tht's my opinion :shrug:

The killcam annoyed me like hell in new Vegas. So, hell no.
Unless you mean fatalities, then yes.

No, it could be like fallout new vegas's where you cant take damege while in the killcam.

New vegas' killcam was horribly annoying

Cinematic. No.I posted this in another thread, the Adrenaline Kill in Dark Messiah, a slow motion attack, be it stabbing or slicing of your enemies arm, head, leg, etc.

As for terrain, in the center of Skyrim it's probably all mountains and snow, but the borders edging Hammerfall, Cyrodiil, and Morrowind will most likely show features of those territories, maybe desert to the East, and Forests to the south. I hope we see some Boreal Forests in Skyrim.

I think he is more talking about stealth kills from behind like grabbing a dudes head pulling it back and stabbing him in the neck with a knife type thing

I just really really don't want my game to go into slowmotion for anything, it's annoying, specially when combat related

What about a non slow-mo excution(the pase of regular attacks)?

» Wed Apr 28, 2010 4:20 am

I turned off the cinematic kill cam in New Vegas exactly after the 3rd creature I killed. Annoying as hell.

That's 2 more than it took me.

we will have a kill cam with an option to turn it off like fallout 3.

You're stating that as a fact but we don't know anything.

Also the kill cam feature wasn't present until New Vegas.

Fallout 3 didn't have a kill cam, or the option to turn the nonexistent kill cam off. It only had VATS, then New Vegas added the non-VATS kill cam.

I'd rather like a kill-cam but only if one had full control of when and where it activated.

I think there ought to be some kind of animation for Stealth Kills or at least Stealth Kills against someone in bed.

My idea regarding kill-cam would Third Person, slightly slowed down, and only activated when one holds down the Left Bumper while doing a killing blow.

That way if you want it you've got it, if you don't you don't.
