Humanoid enemies always enter a bleedout state just before death

[Axelthesot]

Any humanoid enemy I encounter once around 15-20% health will enter a bleedout state rather than just die. The exceptions to this is if I get him in the health range to get a kill move.

 

Otherwise, they will enter this kneeling bleedout/yield state regardless of how much damage I hit for. Some level 5 bandits for instance survived a level 60 thief's sneak attack with dagger because they were in a chair (can't get a killmove on actors in chairs). Instead of dying immediately, like they are supposed to, they stand up quickly, fall into the bleed out state and then survive with a sliver of life.

 

This is especially annoying because it messes up the chance to get killmoves and I use dance of death to get as many killmoves as I can.

 

Can anyone help me narrow down what's cause the enemies to do this? It makes combat pretty un-enjoyable for me.

I'll also mention that the state they fall into is the same that essential NPCs fall into instead of dying.
