Sneak-kill animation


Dawesome

Recommended Posts

So im the sneaky type, and i have the 15*dmg (Sneark) Perk so i can 1-shot things :P.

But when i go behind a person it sometimes makes an animation cutting their throat off! which is awesome.

But sometimes i just hit them once and they die without an animation (froim sneak etc)

Anyone have any ideas if im doing something wrong ? or is it just at random this happens :)

 

Cheers :)

I'm beginning to think it might be level based. If i'm in an area with standard bandit types i can ALWAYS trigger a stealth kill or a kill move. Since i have spent a while recently in higher level places i have gone hours without doing even a single finisher, which is quite annoying since i enjoy them.

I could be wrong but this is how it seems to me

all sneak attacks are critical...

 

I think it has to do with how much you "overkill" them, i.e. how much health you take away from them after they hit 0 health, same happens with one handed weapons and 2 handed, which only plays the finishing animation if you can deal a lot of damage over the health of the enemy.

 

that being said, it might also factor how alert the enemy is of your presence

I'd support that. Made the same experiences with my tank toon, in normal dungeons i almost never get any finishing moves since ~ lvl 23 but if i onehit a randomw wolf/bear i almost ever get one.
