Skyrim Vanilla Melee Combat and Killmove Tests and Exploration
Sorry for the bad audio. I didn't have my audio settings right.
- Maces decapitate from the front
- Dual Daggers/Swords/Axes have a chance to decapitate from the front using both, or just one (Solo as well for one of course)
- Decapitations are chance-based insta-kills
- Backstabs are chance-based insta-kills (only daggers, swords, & greatswords backstab)
- Throat slits can be performed from the sides & while in motion
- You can throat slit regardless of whether your left hand is free or not
- Frontal insta-stealth kills are possible undetected (like Tenchu)
- You can insta-kill an alerted enemy so long as they don't detect you
- Low health (I think 25%) guarantees a killmove on the last enemy who detects you, meaning you can killmove everyone so long as you're undetected (like Tenchu)
- Shadow Warrior (combat cancellation master Sneak perk) isn't ideal at the closest range, but is doable, and workable into a killmove
