HiddenLurker Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Hey guys, I remember at the start of the game, when I sneak attacked a goblin, I get 6x criticals. But now whenever I manage to do a sneak attack, I will only get 1x critical. Why is this so? I majored in sneak, and the bug is really annoying. There's no point for me to sneak anymore :( Could it be because I'm using a two handed weapon? I decided to use a two handed weapon this playthrough instead of my boring, standard shield and sword. Bug or intentional? If intentional, how do I fix it? It's retarded to penalize two handed weapons so much. I can't even find a two handed blade weapon with special effects on it, whereas I've found tons of shortswords with burning and electrical effects. ANY HELP WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastexer Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 The 6x sneak damage doesn't apply to two handed weapons. It's because they have a way higher base-damage but a slow attack rating to balance it out. Give enchanting a shot if you think, there aren't enough magical two handed weapons out there. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give enchanting a shot if you think, there aren't enough magical two handed weapons out there. ;) OMG so you're saying: Two handed weapons: Very little chance of magical effects (I only saw a warhammer with fire once), slow attack speed (it's slower compared to shortswords) and NO SNEAK CRITICALS. Damage currently: 11, for the two handed katana. One handed weapons: HIGH chance of magical effects, fast attack speed and HAVE SNEAK CRITICALS. Damage currently: 7 for, say, a steel shortsword. (Plus 5 from the fire damage) Balanced much. D: The only time I decided to use two handed weapons, it had to be so...weak. Anyway, is it possible for me to mod the stuff? Just a 2.5x crit will do..

The_Vyper Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Anyway, is it possible for me to mod the stuff? Just a 2.5x crit will do.Unfortunately, no. There is no modifiable setting to change that will allow sneak damage for 2h weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It uses a constantly running quest script in order to determine damage bonus. Good find. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
