Roberttitus: Same here...
Arkose: Fallout 3's finishing moves were more dramatic with slow motion and all that but achieved the same result--i.e. showing something cool when an enemy dies which just serves to look cool and does not make non-finishing combat better. I wouldn't go getting your hopes up that this is going to have combat as good as something like Dark Messiah.
I haven't played Dark Messiah, but I do know that Fallout 3's VAT 'finishing moves' were nothing more than a lot of really badly done gore. In the video clip, the PC grabs the enemy by the shoulder, spins him aside, and runs him through with a blade - even if that's just a finisher, the attention to detail in first person view is quite impressive, IMHO. And it's nice to see weapons interacting properly with the characters instead of looking like a LARP session on steroids.
