BIG: Higher Kill Moves Chance! (a Better Improvements for Gameplay mod)

So it annoys me how infrequently kill moves play after an epic battle with a draugr deathlord or a legendary dragon. That's because the percent chance of getting any kill move in the vanilla game is only 50%. I mean, you might as well flip a coin to see if you get a kill move! What fun is that? Well, Better Improvements for Gameplay: Higher Kill Move Chance! increases the odds, making the kill move chance 75%!

This mod is completely compatible with BIG: More Kill Moves! (see "Kill Move Chances for the Mods," below), as well as all of the mods in this series, which are here: Better Improvements for Gameplay Collection. Follow me on Steam to get notified when I release new BIG mods. Like the mod? Please consider rating it.


So you may use this mod by itself, or together with the mod BIG: More Kill Moves! and BIG: More Decapitations! When the kill moves take place and the percent chances of getting them follow.

• Dragons - 75%
  
• Trolls and other creatures - 75%
  
• Last NPC standing - 75%
  
• NPCs who aren't the last standing - 0%

• Dragons - 50%
  
• Trolls and other creatures - 50%
  
• Last NPC standing - 50%
  
• NPCs who aren't the last standing - 50%

• Dragons - 75%
  
• Trolls and other creatures - 75%
  
• Last NPC standing - 75%
  
• NPCs who aren't the last standing - 75%

Percent chance for kill moves are the same as above, and there is an additional 60% chance that any kill move for an NPC chops off the head.


Q. Can I use both kill move mods at the same time?
A. Yes. They are made to be used together, or separately if you wish.

Q. What will using the two kill move mods do for me?
A. They'll make kill moves happen more frequently than they would if you use only one of the mods (see "How It Works," above).

Q. Can I use BIG: More Decapitations! with this mod, too?
A. Oh yeah! Using them together will make even more heads roll! (see "Kill Move Chances for the Mods," above).

Q. Will BIG: Higher Kill Move Chance! give me a higher chance of getting kill moves with every dragon, even when I fight two at the same time?
A. Absolutely! You have a 75% chance of a kill move with every dragon. So even when you slay two, you could get two heroic kill moves!

Q. Besides dragons, what other creatures will I get more kill moves for when I kill them?
A. Any actor that is not an NPC, and has a kill move animation, including: Bears, Dogs, Draugr, Dwarven Centurions, Falmer, Frostbite Spiders, Giants, Hagravens, Sabre Cats, Spriggans, Trolls, Werewolves, Wolves and Wolf Spirits

Q. What about mudcrabs and skeevers?
A. No. There are no kill move animations for them.

Q. What do you mean by last foe standing?
A. It's the last NPC (not draugr or other creature) in a group that is still alive. For example, it might be the last bandit, mage or vampire you kill during a battle.

Q. Will BIG: Higher Kill Move Chance! make it easier to kill?
A. No. The killing is still up to you. The mod just increases the chance of seeing a better show when it happens.

Q. Will it also give me a higher chance of back-stab kill moves?
A. Absolutely!

Q. What about destruction magic kill moves with staves and spells?
A. Oh yeah, you'll have better odds of getting those, too!

Q. OK, but tell me about decapitations. Will I have more fun with my headman's axe?
A. You'll certainly see more of those captivating, decapitating kill moves! But only if you have one of the decapitation perks. You'll see even more decapitations if you also use BIG: More Decapitations!

Q. Will it make the kill moves more bloody?
A. No, but this mod will: More Blood and Gore!

Q. Will I get hit during a kill move?
A. You might take a blow to the head or an arrow to the knee while a kill move is playing, but the same would happen if the kill move didn't play. So you won't take any more hits with this mod than you would without it.

Q. What will happen if I unsubscribe?
A. The chance for kill moves will return to the default 50%.
