Npc's ninja dodging arrows

Post » Sun Jan 27, 2013 6:16 pm

Ok having a lot of fun with my bosmer archer but here is the problem sometimes when I shoot an arrow directly at someone and it looks like it is going to hit then suddenly the npc does a slide to the right or left and dodge my arrow completely is this a bug? Or is this just a part of the game? Its quite annoying actually.

Really? Its a feature? It looks like a bug considering the way they dodge. :blink:

Yeah it drives me up the wall when they dodge the arrow and I have not even been detected.

This. It gets annoying fast.

I did have some fun with it once while playing one of my mages. Had finally unlocked Lightening Storm for her, and was on my way to find a dragon to test it out on, when I stumbled upon some roaming bandits in the wild. Fus Ro Dah'd them then mopped up the low level mooks before taking on the Bandit Chiefs.

With one chief down I lobbed a fireball at the second who was charging me with his two-handed iron sword of "lol", when he did that Neo level dodge. Was understandably miffed about that, so I used Become Etheral right quick, charged up Lightening Storm and at point blank range, I channeled my inner Trinity and muttered to my TV "Dodge this".

A fine pile of dust, he made.

I do recall it happening one time when I tried to shoot a wolf with an arrow.

I thought this feature was part of a mod I had installed. I guess not...

Anyway, this is VERY annoying.
