spinspider Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 (edited) This is a really odd thing, and I don't know why it was added to the game - NPCs always lying and saying they surrender to you, then getting up and attacking you again as soon as they've recovered a bit. And they're ALWAYS lying; they are never scripted to actually surrender. I just think it's pretty stupid. Doing that IRL is a bad, bad idea (as well as a serious war crime) because, naturally, it discourages enemies from accepting genuine surrenders. It also makes people that much more reluctant to assist injured soldiers. Not cool. It's extremely annoying. You'd think people in TES would be smart enough to realize that their enemies will only fall for the same charade so many times... :pinch: Edited July 17, 2014 by Lehcar
LOL50015 Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 i hope there's a mod that'll fix this. Mods to the rescue!
ForgottenB Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 Only happens if player character lvl is 70 or above, they start to panic sometimes even at full health :)
notmyhome Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 Fight Or Fly is another one, and Requiem has one, too.Steam has I yield I yield.
LOL50015 Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 Fight Or Fly is another one, and Requiem has one, too. Steam has I yield I yield. this one looks promising, although its still in BETA.

AaronOfMpls Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 (edited) notmyhome already mentioned I Yield! I Yield!. There's also Yield 2.0, which "makes it so that all non-essential men/elves will only truly yield when you are out of combat. This happens when all remaining opponents are in a bleed out state so usually with the last enemy." EDIT: I have yet to actually try any of these, though. Edited July 18, 2014 by AaronOfMpls
AfroGamerNinja Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 Also, a borderline example of fake surrenders: the Trojan horse.
