Rukus723 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Right now archery sneak is quite overpowered *WHACK* 3x Sneak Critical"What was that?"*thwack*"Hmm?"*THWACK**DEAD* The first hit should send them into alert/flee mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celusta Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Play on Master difficulty if you think it's overpowered... Though I do agree that it is extremely overpowered with a fully upgraded Daedric Bow with Daedric Arrows... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantur Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I don't. An arrow or two should be able to kill a man. Especially if they don't have the chance to block/dodge. O-o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwampyTroll Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 You're right. It does need to be balanced. I think that having four arrows protruding from a man's head before he falls dead is insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pikoso26 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Headshots implementation would be the right thing to do. Would help to create a more tense atmosphere into the whole sniping with a bow thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantur Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 You're right. It does need to be balanced. I think that having four arrows protruding from a man's head before he falls dead is insane. Or 4 Daedric level arrows in an iron chainmail covered heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pikoso26 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Xcept an arrow in the knee always nearly one shots everyone o.o balancing required Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allephus Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I think headshots are already there. I was just fighting an insanely hard dragon...which I had to pull out all the stops just to beat....man am I loving Deadly Dragons. They're still a pain even on my original character. I mean....I can still pretty much 10 shot them with my arrow if I use my super Fortify Archery potions but...WOW I still don't want to be hit by them hahaha. Anyway, a dragon attacked Riverwood, so I had to hide in the forge to dodge its frost breath and pull out my Infernal Blast spell on its ass. Finally he was too weak to fly and landed across the river next...to the wood...cutters....place....hmph, wouldn't'a thunk it...Well suffice to say, he was looking pretty pathetic sitting their groveling over how weak he was against fire and so I started pelting him with arrows. Thank the f*** Christ I had a butt load of Ebony ones, otherwise it would have taken forever...which...it still kinda did. But he was looking directly at me and I was completely visible, while in the sneak stance. He was even breathing frost at me which couldn't really reach me all the way. With my eagle eye, I started to shoot him in the face....well every time I shot him in the face, it said "Sneak attack x3.0". But everywhere else I hit him, it took normal damage...which didn't really show. If by balancing, you mean, giving bows some extra oomph with there sneak attack, I agree, since it makes more since that a sneak attack from a bow would mean you had time to carefully pick the spot that you're shooting and hit the vital area while they're unaware. I'm kind of turned off, every time I shoot an arrow at the guy, silently roll back into position, shoot the guy again, rinse repeat. Otherwise, I think it's fine since it CAN get pretty gross if you make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rukus723 Posted January 8, 2012 Author Share Posted January 8, 2012 Higher headshot damage while sneaking sounds great. Also instant alert status if you don't instant kill them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
