Is this sneak attack a glitch?

Post » Tue May 15, 2012 12:01 pm

I tried searching around for this, but I'm not coming up with anything. It may also be in the wrong forum. I apologize.

After getting up to 100 in sneak and taking the perk to stop combat when crouched and to do 15 times sneak attack damage, I've found a little issue. Whenever I'm fighting something, I crouch in front of them and immediately use my dagger. If you get the timing right, it will do 15 times damage. This can happen multiple times in a row. On adept, I kill basically everything in one it. I turned up the difficulty and it still only takes a couple hits. Was this intended? It seems potentially game-breaking.

Think of it the other way.

If we were to reach 100 in sneak and still takes more than 2 hits to kill something with a sneak attack, alot of people gonna complain how unrealistic it is because assassins are supposed to deliver fatal blows.

Sneak is supposed to help you stay undetected not multiply your damage by a billion.

I am guessing it was an oversight. I hate the perk when I read about it.
