Sorajak, thanks! I don't like cutting people's throats either. I feel like a dastardly murderer. I only wanted to secretly kill. It would be nice to have a throat slit by dark Brotherhood assassins. And the rest of the quiet murders were like a knife in the back.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who found it ridiculous to cut the enemy's neck with the back of the sword. lol Thank you. Although I am an AE player, if this mod works properly, I will recommend this mod to other users who are worried like me. :D
Edit : sadly it doesn't work.. Or I misunderstood this mod. I'm using the Violense killmove mod, and as someone said, I've turned off the Sneak killmove option on the dagger and sword. I wanted only the killmove with the sword on the enemy's back to work, but it didn't work. :(
Is it possible to have the throat slit AND this backstab animation enabled? Basically so there are multiple sneak attack animations and it randomly chooses one?
For the record, this does in fact work with Violens. You can have all your usual finishers setup how you want, but then have the slit be replaced by the backstab from this mod. However you do have to adjust the settings of Violens in a specific way or else it won't work. Put this mod after Violens in your load order, then in the Violens Stealth & Triggers menu set stealth killmove chance to 0%, and also set the Swords category to OFF. It took a bit of messing with it, and just before giving up hope I figured it out, now I can have the best of both worlds!
I'm going to put in an extra thanks because, not only did this disable a kill-move that kept turning my character around (which causes me navigation issues), but it also removed another move that had utterly frustrated me for ages. No more 'I've got a 6' blade but I'm going to stomp on this giant flying bug instead of hit it with the blade'...Having just gotten through mzulft with only normal kill-cam stuff (stabbing the blade down through the chaurus flying thingy's abdomen) was wondrous....far more reasonable than otherwise...Yay!!!
Would you know how I might disable the sneak attack killmoves completely? I'm using both mods that disable killmoves but the throat-slashing killmove still happens everytime with daggers or swords.
If I could install this mod and then use SSEdit to change the killmove chance to 0%, for example.
These mods don't disable that one for me: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/13395 https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/169
Unfortunately I don't think this will affect Sneak Tools because the "slit throat" action from that mod seems to separately refer directly to the animation. My mod only edits the original killmove. I could be wrong.
My biggest gripe is the way the dagger mechanically flips back and forth for the animation. Also, after years of playing im just tired of seeing it. Ive always liked the backstab killmove, it’s less stilted, but never had much cause for it to trigger.
Gotta agree, that whole dagger flip ordeal made it hard for me to imagine some sort of Dwemer Hidden Blade mod due to the player always using the Throat Slit from sneaking. I get that's effective, don't get me wrong, but I'd like to not have that ALWAYS play when doing Sneak kills.
