Lol..kinda makes sense... hitting some1 in the back of their heads or something shouda killed them almost instantly -.- not make measly damages that would tickle them xD
Having tried a range of mods over the years, I always come back to this one as being the most realistic for my personal play style. With this you can achieve one hit kills once your skills improve. Thank you for this.
I like the sound of this... x15 might sound excessive, but if it all depends on your skills, and considering how naff the default arrow hit is, if you're using some of the mods which make play harder, like the Duke Patrick mods... this could kinda balance things out a bit.
If you miss with an arrow, you alert them and in sneak gear a sharpened pencil is a one hit deadly... so yea... I make the hit and it kills them right out or I'm a dead man... kinda ups the stakes, but still realistic.
I want to get into knife assassination too, but currently, there is no way a knife can get a 1 hit kill, and no way I can sneak up to knife attack anyone in armor in anything that will allow me to take a hit if they don't die first time.
IRL, *if* you can get close enough to use a knife on someone without them noticing... how many slashes does it take to slit a throat? How many times do you have to slit someones throat for them to die?
Most importantly, you need your victims to die without crying out that they have been attacked, and since silence only works against casters, you need them to die before they know they are attacked... if that doesn't happen, a clothy sneak has lost the element of surprise, which is the only thing they have going for them. I don't hold with this invisibility stuff and guards not knowing where you are when you are stood right in front of them stopping them walking forward... even if they can't see you they know where to aim their sword... it's the fleshy thing their knees are bumping into.
So maybe this will balance out other mods, and is not very practice on it's own... but it sounds really good to me.
Not that I don't think you did good work. However JOG has a mod out like this but it's much more customizable, and you can decide if your blade skill factors in to how high your bonus is, if you get penalties for heavy armor or light armor, bonus for wearing cloth only, and again all of these are fully customizable to turn off and on, and i think it has like 5 different damage outputs.
