I think it would be a cool idea if we could either have an artifact, or a high up skill (mythical bonecrusher/blademaster) that lets you have a customized finishing move. If your attack would bring them to zero HP, it would do the attack emote of the one you have set, instead of just a normal strike. Same could go for other classes, just tweaked a bit.

It would be something like this:

Dodging back and forth, Richter throws a darksteel mace up into the air, spinning in a mesmerizing circle. Out of nowhere, a burst of elemental energy slams into you from a multicoloured mace, and all goes back.

You have been slain by the might of Richter.

I think that would be horrifically annoying if people actually used finishing moves like that

That's what -you- think.

Yeah but then, you run the risk of attracting the leets who will come along with "OMG you are teh shizzat and I lob my totally roxxors sword at you and you die! Lo0ol check my skillzors!!!"

Are you a hill billy, manjanala?

That's one word, Shiro, not two.

These would be neat the first time, and after that would just get cheesy. I'd just like to see more neat kill messages. Especially after coming back from alting in Imperian, where things just can't take your blows and die. If I'm bleeding you, it's not really a blow...

Er, no. There is an I in my name though . Do explain that comment.

One word:

Fatality

The Divine voice of Estarra shatters the cosmic equilibrium, "Finish him!"

Nice idea, but make it something you have to buy with credits or get God approved or something; otherwise you get morons running around with stuff like...

BUZTZ A CAP IN YO ASS N UR MOM IS FAT! You die.

We already have some pretty damn sweet finishing moves. (Man I love moonburst death text.)

The idea is customization though . So players can be like, ooo I wrote that.

Lusternian limit breaks! I'd come up with some crazy type of finishing move.

Limit breaks = power skillz.

Make it a god-approved arti then!

The Nightkiss one is pretty good.



EDIT:
Oh, and my limit break would be like this:

Nayl lifts your body off the ground, her body fueled by anger. Throwing you into the air,
she grabs onto your ankles, and starts to spin you around, slamming your head into the
ground, and she keeps pulling, picking up speed until she's skipping with your body,
before throwing it to the side.

Fake Edit: I've been playing too much Def Jam

What would be cool is the deathsight messages reflected how they died, like. Richter had his lifeforce sucked dry by Tenqual. for Nightkiss or stuff like, Ending his life in one stroke, Richter cleaves Tenqual's head, or mashes for BoneCrushers.

Instakills should have a different deathsight.
And trans skills (drawdown, nightkiss, trueheal ())
Nayl was vaporised by Tuek.
Tuek was kissed to death by Nayl.

(The second one was just for you )
