Decapitation/demembering

[strobacaxi]

Hey!
So, in the intro there was a decapitation on helgen, which makes me think it is possible to rip someone's head off, or his limbs
But I haven't been able to do so =/ Is it possible?

[Eltee]

Yes, but only heads. There is a level 50 perk for 1/2 handed weapons for decapitations.

I know there are perks in the one handed tree for decapitation, although I've yet to see one.

[dubq]

Oh it's there. There are a few animations for it and they are all pretty sweet.

Note: decapitations only occur as a result of a power move. If you're just hitting "regular" melee attacks you'll only get the standard finishing moves.

Does anyone know if this perk still works if a mod disabled the kill moves? It was the very first and so far only mod I installed for Skyrim, as those killing sequences are highly annoying for me.
