Death animations and finishing moves

[Gyges]

Attacks need that "oomph" to it. You all know what I'm talking about, that sound or animation that makes kill #1000 just as good as the first.

I don't mind the occasional chunking, but the entire finishing move concept is flawed as it's the same move again and again regardless of the weapon. Besides, it's usually something more appropriately choreographed for an over-the-top cartoon.

 

Let's just forget about this element of the game and work on actual combat animations for all weapon types (including polearms) that actually reflect how the weapon is supposed to be used.

We will get plenty of sharp weapons, so i think a decapitation and etc. would be a normal thing. It could be also in correlation with character level, when it's higer then more stuff is happening (bad characters could also kill in some ugly way).
