What does "chance to dismember" mean?
Well, obviously it means I have a higher chance of dismembering enemies. But I have no idea what this actually does in terms of gameplay. I have various items that increase my chance to dismember, but no idea if that effect is worth it.
What exactly does dismembering do in this game, what effect has it on enemies?
Best Answer
My understanding is that when you are fighting an enemy, particular human ones, there's a chance that one of your fast/strong attacks will activate a killing animation, which instantly kills the enemy, even if they are at high health, which makes it particularly useful.
So dismembering is essentially an insta-kill, but I think I mostly see it occur on humans, not as much on monsters, if at all.

Apparently, the internet does not have a consensus on this issue. That having been said, my experience has been as @Dupree3's - I've yet (in over 70 hours of play) been able to insta-kill anything using this ability. While it can be satisfying to watch the clever animation of cutting someone in half in random angles, particularly for certain humans (Bandits that prey on Peasants, in particular), I have not insta-killed anything with a dismemberment with substantially more health left than a critical could also take down, while carrying the Griffin Head.
