As bad as the third person takedowns are on paper, in practice, they're nowhere near as game-destroying as people often claim them to be. Unlike the effortless, couldn't give a second thought to what I'm doing, takedowns in Dishonored, Human Revolution's are a brutal affair (as they should be!), which consume energy to use, making them an uncommon tactic. They're practically a last resort. There's no confusion about their reliability either (unlike Dishonored's finicky trigger states). When sneaking around to take people out, you're often behind cover anyway, and thus have already been switched to a third person camera. Immersion-shattering? Maybe on a few occasions, but there are much bigger concerns than these. Plus the animations are cool and varied, making it seem like I'm seeing a new kind of takedown every time.

Just get over your compulsion to eliminate every enemy without using a single item in your inventory, and you'll be just fine.
