Hmmm I think so too, however (luckily) it's not 50% here more 25%. Kinda boring if you do one every 2 kills.It is random AFAIK.
A bit too 'oftenly' random for my taste. More than 50 % of my kills have been cinematic. Be it sword or axe.
The only way to turn them off is to use a mod.
My character is a Dunmer Rogue. I plan to get the light armor, archery, 1 handed weapons (swords and dual wielding) and sneak perks. However I still do not know what's best to upgrade: Health, Magicka or Stamina.
And TinCow, can't you use a spell which gives you an armor buff(-something-flesh)? So you can keep the robes with the mana regeneration?
Also what difficulty do you guys play? I'm going to give master a try, just to make things interesting. Don't know how balanced dual wielding is compared to shield or magic, but it seems somewhat inferior.
