What is the point of stealth kills?

[Main]

You try to be sneaky and move through an area without getting caught, but you come across someone who has to be killed. Oh easy, just sneak up and stab them? No. They stop the attack and warn everyone else around and you die. WTF is that?

[Das Trojanische Pferd]

you need good perks and strenght to pull stealth kills without failing but if you block there counterattack you can still kill them silently but the window is very ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ small.
The Castle if you didn't fully skill on stealth is almost impossible to knock out the guards so best stay with stones and stalking around....

There is a perk in the strength tree that helps you keeping your enemies in your grip while they're struggling the more strength you have. In addition, the higher is your stealth skill, the easier it gets. You just need to level up your character's stats a bit and take the right perk (I think it's called Strong Grip.

You failed the stealth kill.

Sneaking up behind someone and sticking my dagger in their throat should not be blockable lmao.

You wanted an OP instakill with no room to counter? Sounds boring but I'm sure you can figure that in the devmenu if thats how you want to play.

well, yet somehow it is.
but if you get the right perk it is piece of cake.

it also just helps if they are asleep, and you kill them while they are in their bed.
wait till it's night ;)

do you remember to press your mouse again when the 2 blue swords or green shield comes up?
I have seen many people who just start the stealth kill but never actually attack when you have to.

Your strength is lower than target's. Your stealth is low, you don't have the perks. Any of these.

Also you have to wait for the "crossed swords" icon to appear and left click. Then you will stealth kill and be able to pick up the body. If you fail to click in time, target will cry out and others might hear it.

If you are weak and pathetic, you will fail the initial strike, target will counter but even then you can finish if you click in time on subsequent icons. But it will be loud.

[bruh]

you failed the strength check, but it's not over yet. you will notice a green shield icon flash really quikly if you manage to right click at the right time you will be able to garantee the kill.

I forgot, you are a super solider. Able to deflect blows from someone sneaking up behind you

When you see the blue icon while you are in the stealth kill animation, hit the attack button. It's like a riposte in essence. If they defend, it means you didn't time in right.

Currently struggling with The Storm, and i HATE that mission with a passion.
Just lazy designed, with invisible walls, debuffs, and more enemies on patrol than the castle has inhabitants. Pure ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ to slow you down and force a stealth mission on you.
Add to that enemies blocking my stealth kills despite me waiting for the crossed swords signal to finish them .... and it is infuriating.
Whoever allowed that piece of ♥♥♥♥ to stay in the game needs to be perma-banned from making computer games.

This is the exact mission I’m talking about. Stealth kills are impossible, I’ve trained it on multiple different enemies and they all block and scream for the 60 other guards that somehow have arrived

tbh you can easily go through it all without having to kill a single person.
once you get up from the basement, go upstairs, there is a guy singing and making food or whatever.
just ignore him, go out of the door to the outside and keep walking up on the wall until you get the cutscene.

then go on the left wall (so you wont run into the guy on the right)
when you're inside go up, there will be 2 guys talking at a table. wait for one guy to walk up and the other falling asleep.

at that point you pretty much skipped every person that would be in your way.

but i dont disagree, its a ♥♥♥♥ quest and a stealth forced mission should never have been ingame.

You have a little window where you NEED to counter attack to actually kill, you don't just press F and watch, there is a minigame to it, as soon as you press F you attack when you see the blue swords, if you fail you have a small window to block and maybe kill the person.
Stealth is more about timing and carefulness, stats helps but mostly you have to be very precise.

This game simply isnt for "bad players" u cant just press W+M1 and finish the game. U actually have to learn and practice the in-game skills in order to advance in the main story line!
