How about a mod that allows one to sneak up and kill by strangulation? I'd love to be able to use a garrote. No enchanthing points, please... Just pure, old fashioned "silent death"...

Then your char must be an assassin

That would be cool. Almost an advanced hand to hand combat style. Maybe some one could create some animations so that the PC clicks on the NPC in stealth mode <and the adv. hand 2 hand is of an acceptable level> the PCs arms wrap around the NPCs neck and SNAP good bye NPC :lol:

I can see that HeLLL is right there with me on this. Some kind of animation would awesome, maybe some soft, gurgling noises as the last breath escapes my unfortunate victim while his body slumps to the ground...

And while my char is not really an assassin, you gotta admit... it would be cool. Think "Fargoth" if you're not yet convinced.

thats EXACTLY what i was thinking.....how can a player be an assassin without some one hit kills?! like snapping necks and stuff. thats what assassins are supposed to do.

yeah, sunds good, though this would require a lot of scripting and editing ofthe .ini and .bsa files

I know nothing about modding, but yes, it DOES sound rather complicated. Still, done effectively it would be out of this world cool.

I don't even know how often my char would use it, but just knowing I COULD would make it worthwhile to have.

i neave a mod where if you punch somebody in the back there is a 75% chance ok one hit kill.

Wo! Sounds like a cool idea for a mod but the scriptin would be hell and think of the poor guy who wud av to do the animations, firstly arms raise over victims neck and begin to strangle him, then you gotta add in the sound effects then the person u were strangelin would have to wriggle they cudnt jst stand ther then you wud have to settle them to the ground otherwise they would fall rite through you or the object u were usin to strangle them with. hope u get an animator tho it wud b gud but like i say not 4 the poor guy who duz the animatin lol. Myth-Source

How about something like a stangulation wire, where they have limited air (like when underwater) before they start to die...

Personally, if someone wanted to undertake this, I would settle for whatever animation I could get, as long as the scripting was good and there was a decent sound-effect or two.

And Candypants' idea about there being "only so much air", I thought was a good one... This might also allow for some "hand to hand" damage, or a chance for the "victim" to break free from the hold, based on strength/unarmored/agility stats ... something like that?

I dunno... I just thought the strangulation concept was really cool... Unfortunately I don't have the skills to bring it into "production".
