The kill scenes are randomly activated when you deliver a blow that would kill the opponent in melee, as far as I understand. Can it activate for ranged attacks? I can't remember and I might be thinking of V.A.T.S in Fallout.

Pufferfish, get the "Dance of Death" mod - it lets you change killmove activation rates among other things. It's pretty cool. (It also reinserts dummied out killmoves.).

That's funny, because I've had it save my life against a sabre cat whose health I've been chipping away at and then I suddenly kill it when it has half its health left. Thought it was some kind of super-crit.

And I've been killed in a riposte-style fashion with 3/4 health left. I often scream bullshit at the game and try again. Unless I was outside.

Then I raegquit.

You have a chance to trigger killmoves that increases based on the % of health you take off per swing from the foe. Also:

But they're boring as shit, they're literally just "Fire arrow/ bolt / spell, watch it travel, watch enemy die."

Which is one of the best reasons for getting Dance of Death: Playing a ranged character? Deactivate all killcams.

Indeed.  It replaced the old "First Person Only Killcam" mod I was using, since that was starting to have a few issues (not covering all kill-cams, in particular).

I've had the concept of playing one of the anti-Thalmor High Elves who fled from the Summerset Isles during their rise to power.  Basically, like the one who wrote the book/call to action before the Thalmor war, and about as crazy in her hatred.  I've not actually done so, though; I always have other concepts on the mind.

One thing about Skyrim that pissed me off was the lack of Unarmed. There are ENCHANTMENTS THAT INCREASE IT'S DAMAGE. MAKE IT A SKILL.

No seriously, playing Oblivion while RPing as a Monk with no fast-travel is a fun experience.

Okay, so metaphysically Mer are directly opposed to Men and it shall always be that way, but goddamn you can have a Lorkhan-loving Altmer any day.

I like Bretons, actually. They're the best magicky race that isn't a snooty elf.

Dark elves are also pretty cool, but the whole obsession with corpses throws me off a little.

I was referring more to the fact of them being manmer, which must infuriate the Thalmor.

I do tend to play as a High-elf once in a while. But also as Dunmer. Rarely Bosmer though.
The Live Another Life mod adds an exclusive start as a Thalmor for High elves. (As far as I know, The Stormcloaks becomes hostile if you do.)
