Main information
Showing violence in media is something that is often necessary, whether to put across a message or simply because it realistically conveys the setting. However, for those people out there who see constant dismemberment of enemies or elaborate or slow-motion kill animations as gratuitous, they should be able to enjoy their games without all that. This mod is for those people.

This mod does not disable
Some instant kills, such as those on targets stunned by Axii or knocked down by Aard, are considered finishers by the game. As such, the two versions of this mod that disable finishers also disable those. Attacks on these targets will simply register as a normal hit. Personally I've found this isn't really a noticeable detriment in combat, as stunning enemies these ways is still an advantage to put them out of the fight for a while and get some easy hits on them, but I just wanted to put this here to make sure there are no surprises in that regard.
There are also two cut-down versions of this mod available:

There are also two cut-down versions of this mod available:
- "No Dismemberment" disables mid-combat dismemberment but leaves finishers unaffected. please note that with this version, there is still dismemberment present in finisher animations, as the name does not distinguish this dismemberment from the finishers.
- "No Finishers" disables only finishers, leaving mid-combat dismemberment unaffected.
