iavor55 Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 For all of you stealth/marksman types like me you must have LOVED going up close to an enemy and sticking a dagger in his back or snyping them from across the cell(as in map cell),but you aways found out that the only satisfaction you had for it was theyre death!Deadly reflex made the fast paced close combat more fun,but that is not exacly "stealthy" so I came up with a few ideas for death anims for stealth kills with both dagger,short sword AND bow!Dagger:Ofcourse this are the simplest,most comonly met,yet very loved kill anims from other games that we've seen,but we still love.Like for example walking behind the enemy,putting your hand on his mouth while you stab them in the back or cut his neck open.Or maybe the simple backstab!?This 3 ways would be commonly met in the addon,but there are also some special once.Im not sure how this will work,but Im thinking of a mode activated by an item or a key that allows you to go into "assassins creed" mode or something like that wich pretty much means that you are able to walk up to ANY person and perform a dagger attack leading to a SPECIAL death animations wich DONT require stealth mode.Maybe like putting your hand on his sholder while stabbing him 3 times in the stomach (most obvious and highest chance to notice) OR as your trying to pass him by you push him on both the sholder and the elbow....just one thing-you arent pushing him by the elbow,your sticking the dagger into his body thus killing him,but making it look like he just fell down....and didnt get up!(lowest chance of detection)Short sword:Basicly going up behind the enemy in stealth mode and sticking the sword all the way into his back so that he is in the air (the character rises up to do this trick,just like in all the dagger stealth once and then goes back to crouch) and then lets him fall on the ground.The less brutal way is by putting the hand on his mouth and simply sticking the sword in his back just like the dagger way!Then most brutal way that needs "assassins" mode,but still needs to be done while sneaking.As you walk up to him your charecter slowly rises up and when he is fully up he charges his sword and as he releases it the sword cutts the victim's head off!Bow:This is actualy very basic.For farther stealth kills the camera would just track the arrow.For semi-close to close range kills the enemy falls on his knees and dies.And for assassins mode,yet seen only on charecters that either have a lot of health or are wearing heavy armor, is this:As you shoot the first arrow it gets stuck in his chest,but the enemy survives so he turns towards you.Your character quickly fires another 4 arrows while the first brings him to one knee and the other 3 finish him off completely(having the enemy shake a bit for every arrow hitting him!).Ofcourse this kill requires a cam and a pre-set animation for both character AND enemy,because A)Oblivion doesnt allow realy fast arrow firingB)Even if it has the animation preset and the character is able to keep shooting if he pleases(aka no animation) the physics might *ban me* it all up and it wouldnt have the same efect!Anyways all of the above special kills wouldn't be present at ALL the time.There would be an item with wich you can determine the latency of them (just like in deadly reflex!).I DO realise this will take a LOT of time and a LOT of willpower,but if this mod is completed it might be a HUGE hit!Thank you for reading!-Iavor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
