Full Version: Major acrobatics/sneak attack bug

Hello. I have reached 50 journeyman acrobatics, but I can no longer do regular sneak attack. Whenever I just attack regularly in sneak mode, I ALWAYS do a power attack, which consumes way more fatigue, has much slower swing and does the same damage compared to regular sneak attacks. In console, I have done some testing. I loaded a save game with 49 acrobatics, and I could do regular attacks in sneak mode. Then I increased acrobatics to 50 in console, I could no longer to regular attacks. Every attack is a power attack.

This bug is a big let down of the game. I need a fix to this please.

What mods are installed? Are you trying to use a 2 hand weapon by chance?

Nope. I did not use 2-handed weapon. Using 2-handed weapon does not make a difference, I'd still always do a power attack even if I pressed normal attack (doing either normal attack or power attack with a 2-handed weapon in sneak mode has no damage bonus)

In vanilla Oblivion, without any mods, this still happens. When you press normal attack in sneak mode, you ALWAYS do a power attack. I tested with a fresh game, and used console to set acrobatics to above 50, and this still happened.
