Ubisoft:
I love the way the Karambit knifes look visually. But unfortunately they are just not practical to actually use in game because the animation during the kills take way too long.
Is there anyway to make a shorter animation for it and then provide that shorter animation as an option for people such as myself who would want that? In other words: have two options available. One being the way it right now. And the other being a shorter animation.

Absolutely. I deployed with a karambit, I am extremely familiar with their use. Although the animations in the game are fun, they're impractical, & they take so long you end up shot dead.
Here's an example in the drastic difference in Karambits takedowns from two Ubisoft games:

The second animation shown, the one where you get head-butted & slash the knee of the NPC, plays way too often. It's also one of the longest ones. I literally hate seeing it. Using a straight blade in the game is simply the more viable option because it's so much more efficient.

yup. the animation is way off. i practise kali and karambit is part of this. if i have a take down like that (animation) i wont be holding on it like that.. it will be slitting his throat. with multiple slashes. if karambit will be used should be with the proper way of using it. a straight knife also has different ways of use, but same principle.. stab, slash and kill.

Yep. I wind up just sticking to the small utility knifes because it's faster. But I would really love to use the Karambits because the visuals look really cool. It just takes way too long with the animation. I get shot by other enimes while I am in the middle of the long drawn out Karambit animation.
