Throat Slit Chance?

Post by Daemos Avetorii »

I got a Nord with the 15x dmg with daggers perk + brotherhood armor for x30. Sometimes he slits the foe's throat and sometimes not. Is there a variable chance or is there another reason?

Figured it out. You must be in crouch, then you aim the reticle onto the person's head, and press attack. Works every time for me now. And you can still do it for when a person is walking/patrolling..
