TL;DR
OG LIKE PRETTY CAMERA ANGLES
DRAMA MAMA Ranged killmoves no longer have to require a kill, the epic "Bow killmoves" can now occur when the target is at full health(if you want them to).
THIS IS PRETTY AWESOME I have tripled the number of camera paths available to non-ranged killmoves. What does this mean? It means that your killmoves will feel more fresh and varied as they will have new camera shots and timing added to them. The animations won't change, just how I show them off. IT. IS. AWESOME.
I'M READY FOR MY CLOSE-UP, MR. DEVILLE I now have somewhat-total control of all
