no, Jaidyn, we're complaining that it doesn't happen.

we want to see blood spurting out of necks! :devil: and play a bit of football (sorry, soccer for the non-brits) with the heads!

it does happen apparently:



i'm trying to find the in-game description of the perk, but according to this list (and a couple of others i've quickly looked at), one-handed decap doesn't exist - are we just imagining it?

i've just realised: why make armour out of glass? :shock:

shatters belief...:huh:

i've got decap too - haven't seen any heads roll either - unlike in fallout 3 when you get the perk that splatters enemies into lots of little pieces - forgotten what it's called now...bloody mess? although i do seem to get a lot more critical hits with it now.

The glass aspect made no sense in Oblivion either - but in a land of magic and other whatnots - ancient tempered glass... why not?

I had that perk - it was fun for a little while but it got old fast. I ended up re-loading an old save game.

I'm one-handed with an axe, maybe another weapon might see some chop-chop :huh:

I like the cute, glowing,jumpy little balls in Yngol Barrow

Me too

Although I kept waiting for them to turn nasty or become something else.


And great vid

If you have any question about the puzzle ask me

What? You dont love me anymore???

 

[mickey megabyte]

that's one way to shut them up!

I don't remember if there was a perk specifically for it or not, it's something that happens when you get a critical strike randomly while finishing off an enemy mixed with the sword through the belly animation. The perks generally allow critical strikes to happen more frequently from what I remember so you see it happen more often, but at best it still happens only now and then and generally only on the last enemy in a melee fight.

It defiantly happens often enough, it's quite gruesome, especially as your camera can be in random positions when it happens and is sometimes very close up.

And the heads can roll roll roll for a LONG distance sometimes if you are outside on a road

Look in your Skills menu. The chance to decaptitate is in both the one-handed and two-handed Weapons perks. The percentage is 25% (1 in 4).

One handed perk


Two handed perk

thanks drew,

you been away recently?

 

[fseal]

Ah ok...

Heh it is a particularly satisfying move when it happens immediately after the bandit or mage your fighting shouts out something like "This ends now!", *CHOP* ... Yes... it does....

 

[sygnus21]

thanks drew,

No, I've been evaluating my stay here. Anyway I'll just do some spot posts here and there as I won't be hanging around.

Just wanted to post that info since there was a lot of confusion about it.

Peace

 

[mickey megabyte]

ok, hope the noobs haven't been getting you down.

it is good to take a break every now and again, i've done it a few times now and have come back feeling refreshed.

it would be sad to see you vanish completely.

 

[JaidynM]

Hmm, it looks like you can only decapitate while doing a standing power attack...

 

[JaidynM]

Some funny Skyrim videos. Sorry 'bout the first two, couldn't manage to embed them.

 

[mickey megabyte]

remove the &'s and you should be good to go, Jaidyn

Oh right. Thanks.

I was just playing Skyrim this morning and was using console commands to spawn dragons. I spawned three in Whiterun without realising it would kill half the guards and townspeople! I think their bodies are stuck there forever now as it hasn't even turned to bones yet.

I also spawned one inside Dragonsreach which took me about 10 minutes to kill as it kept flying through walls and the ceiling which made it almost impossible to aim at.

JaidynM +1 for those vids, they made me feel like playing skyrim again haha

Hehe I had that one stuck in my q forever till I ran across one accidentally one day. So you can either just let it simmer or go to a wiki and they will usually list all the locations to find a certain artefact.

I like using this one:
Skyrim:Skyrim - UESPWiki

Some others are down today in protest...

 

[JaidynM]

I use both the UESP Wiki and The Elder Scrolls Wiki. The latter however is protesting against SOPA + PIPA so you'll have to wait another couple of days to use it.
