the game is okkkkay, in my opinion! fighting system is tolerable although it's repetitive! however, I don't recall seeing a finishing move! enemy just explode or sometimes instantly killed!
rumors say that the demon-hand finishing move in the trailer is a result of Crushing Prison! I don't know if it true.
So this is my question: how do i perform a finishing move? or have we all been fooled by Bioware?
please pardon me if I offense someone!

There is no finishing moves like in Origins. The only "finishing moves" ,if you even considered them as such, are the scripted cutscene ones like the one with the ogre in prologue.

Bioware said they made finishing moves for even mages! well, not even the warriors have finishing moves! we've all been fooled! I suspected as much!

I wonder EA had a hand in this! Most games bearing EA brand name these days only made in interest of making profits, lame storyline, in my opinion, of course!

Yes EA had a hand in it. They intend to control as much as they can get.

hey!!! I've discovered something about finishing moves today! just a few moment ago, actually!

The phantom-handed move on orges is actually possible during gameplay, not only cutscenes. I did it by accident: inflicting 2 (or 1 would do) Crushing Prison on the orge and if it's killed while the spell is still taking effect, the orge will be lift to the air and the phantom-handed finishing move will be shown (no mod, I'm certain of it!). I can't seem to notice other deathblows except exploding to pierces, unfortunately.
