Very Hard Difficulty Question

[FanaticofTamriel]

So I'm a assassin on the very hard difficulty and i got out of the sewers fine but im having trouble killing ppl. When i use poison and they die by that it doesnt count as murder. i have to get the last hit in on them and since im on very hard.... well i think u get the picture. Any advice?

Always be aware of what you're fighting. If needed have their page open on UESP, so you know their stats and some pages have their vulnerabilities. It's also best to have some clothing/armour on that has a 'Resist Magic' effect.
Try to block most attacks, move around when fighting and only go for a power attack when their guard is down. Also, try and get as many hits as possible quickly.

Chameleon and Invisibility are priceless on Hard. Try to get your hands on scrolls or potions with those enchantments.

And remember: the 1/6 damage doesn't count for your own summons. Use that to your advantage.

There is an unbreakable lockpick you receive from Nocturnal's Shrine quest.

*Technically Offtopic but oh well*

I take it that by difficulty you mean lock difficulty and not game difficulty and by "Open Hard" you mean the spell?

Lock picks will become more "effective" if you raise your Security skill. The actual effect of raising Security is to make the lock tumblers move more slowly, giving you longer to secure them in place. The Nocturnal Shrine quest reward gives a large Security buff (This link contains quest spoilers) http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Nocturnal if you don't wish to raise it manually.

EDIT: Ninja'd, and yes I forgot to mention it's unbreakable

Please, don't steal someone else's topic! It is, indeed, considered to be a rather nasty action. Start your own topic instead. Goes for your question of raising manually too. EVERYONE: stick to topic.
