Scythe Bearer Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 I hate, Hate, HATE the slomo kill cam on ranged weapons. To others, it is meh, but they find the third person kill cams annoying. Some really hate the dragon shake-n-toss. What would be great is a mod that allows users to selectively enable/disable kill cams to fit their play style. Now, I would be willing to make it, but such is beyond my current skill set. So I am asking for someone who knows WTF they are doing to pick this one up and run with it, or give me the guidance I need to get it done. phatbassanchor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nico coiN Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 I disable all killcams with "No Killmoves - No Killcams - No Killbites.esl". Scythe Bearer and phatbassanchor 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to be overkill (unintentional pun), when all I want is to get rid of the ranged attack SLOMO killcam. I actually like the lopatopoff killcam with sword and board. phatbassanchor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I simply added the following to Skyrim.ini in C:\Users\username\Documents\My Games\Skyrim Special Edition: [VATS] bVATSDisable=1 It appears to be working like a charm. smr1957 and phatbassanchor 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Violens does a lot of things, but for some, all those extras may not be needed or of interest. Glad that you were able to achieve the desired result with just an.ini change and that you found it in the mod's description! Enjoy! phatbassanchor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for pointing me in the direction I needed to go. Without your response, I would still be floundering. smr1957 and phatbassanchor 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phatbassanchor Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 I'm in the "dump the derp" camp disabling all kill cams too... well... almost all kill cams... I use: Disable Cinematic Kills That mod disables all ranged kill cams and all open combat melee kill cams except for two... The two that this mod leaves intact are the melee dragon kills where you mount the dragon's head and end the wyrm with style and panache with the other, my personal favorite, the assassin's kill cam when sneaking up for a melee assassination kill. Other than those, kill cams are history in my game. I had grown sick and tired of all of the glitched angles showing a rock or wall instead of the kill. But, the worst aspect was WHEN they would trigger. Without kill cams, I can easily sneak through a dungeon that has 6-8 enemies and snipe them all with my bow before anyone even realizes the first victim is dead! But, with kill cams enabled, they always seemed to trigger at the wrong time, like after my first kill of what I had hoped would be a run of the room but somehow the kill cam broke my stealth and now I'm half dead or fully dead before the damned animation completes! So, thanks to Disable Cinematic Kills by Sable17, I don't have these issues anymore. I'm back to my stealth assassin's full prowess, wiping out entire platoons of enemies before they even know I am there. Huzzah!!! Huzzah!!! Huzzah!!! Thanks for all the other suggestions, my friends. Adventure ever on, Phat PS: Even Sable17, the author of the kill cam remover I use, recommends VioLens as an alternative to have more choice and flexibility rather than a full disabling of kill cams but I just don't want them in my game...

Pseron Wyrd Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 As with most things I take a roleplaying approach: I use them with some characters but not with others. Brutally violent killcams feel appropriate if I'm playing an Orc barbarian. But they feel out of place to me when I play pure mages. With mages, and a few other characters, I use Violens to get rid of them. Personally I think killcams should have been an optional toggle in the menu. smr1957, Uncus and phatbassanchor 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
