Yeah, some here already know about the trollface npc-sliding. It happens when you're sneaking and an unaware victim stands still... you AIM with your bow and.. at the moment you release the string, the NPC slides to any random direction and you MISS the shot!

Well, it's getting worse. I'm with my dagger ready for some blood.

I get relatively near the target (if you get TOO close they detect you) and ready the stab... When I ATTACK the NPC slides foward, avoids been hit and, holy mother! I get detected by every foe and, obviously, pwned because an Assassin can't face all the dungeon alone!

I can't sneak as good as before, it's getting chaotic! Any ideas on HOW stop this? (I am even using a bunch of muffle, silent walking and the sneak perk that makes run or crouch silent).

Lvl 48. My golden times were at level 30.

"I used to clean dungeons like you, then I took a troll slide in the knee..."

No kidding xD

I was at LEAST 100ft away from this draugr deathlord, you know, having to aim my bow well above his head to arc a hit. He had his back to me, and I was in stealth mode, crouched, on a moonless night, behind a concealed position,,in black clothing - you get the point. I let lose my arrow...

The second i released it he "slid", no animation just slid, about 6ft to the left, arrow whistles past his head and he runs straight at me xD

Yes! You share from this agony!

I wonder if someone has ever figured out HOW to stop or reduce this. In higher levels it gets pretty annoying.

And this is called the trollface sliding. You can SEE the trollface on the foes' face!
