I've not seen anyone mention this yet but surely you all notice it: the NPC character models changing when decapitated or dismembered in any way.
For the most part I don't notice it but when a guy with a beard, longhair, and a helmet loses his head and instantaneously becomes a clean shaven cueball, missing said helmet, it does tend to draw my attention.

Any chance this will be fixed?

I guess there's a reason if they call him "Butcher Of Blaviken"...
Unlikely, I don't think it's a bug.

Animations are cool but anyone notice the character models change when the body is slices apart?

How can that not be a bug?

What I meant is that perhaps devs used just one kind of character model when Geralt decapitate or dismemeber them.
It's just a guess, though.
Because the fact that the game loads a predetermined and lower quality model when a decapitation happens is probably done un purpose as an actual and dynamic decapitation system with advanced physics and particles was probably too taxing.

It's not a bug. it's a little trick. Any dismembered human changes in the same basic model.
I guess the reason they get soaked so much in blood is an attempt to hide it as much as possible.
I don't mind too much, frankly. Still a cool feature, better this that no kill animations at all, as far as I'm concerned.
Sign finishers that could be added:
- aard: basically, what happens in one of the first cgi movies: Geralt holds his hand close to the enemy's chest and the enemy is flung away for a great distance, toppling over others
- Igni: The
. Geralt holds his hand to the enemy's skull and sets it ablaze, possibly igniting other which come into contact.
- Axii: Kinda similar, but... Geralt holds his hand to the enemy's head, after which he screams like a possessed person whirling hi weapon about hurting others until his head explodes shortly after.
kinda hard to come up with good quen and yrden finishers but...
- yrden: place a trap on the enemy, you kick him away and watch him explode (hurting others)
- quen: you cast a shield on yourself while holding the enemy, electrocuting him, and you get a bonus quen shield!
Anyway, these could only happen when your stamina is full and cost half a stamina bar.
Ah, I'm just dreaming... Cool eneough that we're getting extra finishers in any case

Already answered in some posts above. It's not a bug. Have you idea how a similar gigantic software develop happen? No, I think. There is nothing to address.
I never said it was a bug... The fact that it was intended does not means that it has to stay that way, if something has room for improvements, then there is a possibility it gets improved.
So yes, there is something to be addressed, if the developers do or do not address it, is a whole different matter.
When you disable auto-finishers, you'll get a prompt (like "Press X" any time you'll get a chance to do a finisher manually.
Frankly, after trying that for a bit, I see no sensible reason to disable the automated version.
It's not like an additional button prompt adds much to your immersion nor to your tactical options, and if anything it can even break the flow of the combat a bit.
