Stealth Kill

[Goju Joe]

So uh...when's this happening? ATM rolling as an assassin build is only useful if you're also well endowed in the stats for basic combat. You're only setting yourself up to KO & steal/kidnap people.

WHICH IS GREAT! Don't get me wrong, w/the mods in place I LOVE kidnapping units and converting them but when will I be able tohave real Ninja wars? Ones involving street assassinations & slipping into a place and just cutting everyone's throats suddenly?

I'm just curious since there are features listed on the website as "planned" when some are actually implimented in the game atm.

The ability of the player being able to kill out right most likly will not be added.Though there has been talk before about changing the assassination skill to something else because you can't actually assassinate anyone.

Yes I know this but if you're in sneak mode next to a KO'd character you have the option to "Stealth Kill" & it is listed on the roadmap as something which is intended to be implimented.

Bringing me to the second point in the post about how there are several features on this same list which are actually implimented in the game.

Please try to read past the title. I work from home & the people charged w/helping floor staff tend to have the same frustrating habbit.

Also "more than likely"? Again updating the roadmap lists, communication past afew surprise updates would be nice because nobody comes here asking specific quesitons about the future of a game expecting to hear an opinion.

i read the entire thing before posting
hence why i responded as such

the option is in game to kill ( animals only ), And with all the posts about killing the Dev reads these and im sure thats one reason why you can't just go into a place and kill everyone. it unbalances the game since the NPC can not Assassinate you. and in most areas, the Dev is big on making sure if you can do it, the NPC can as well and visa versa.

this could be on hold until the option is more complete as well. making sure that if you take a job asking to kill someone, then that NPC Target is the only one you can assassinate

edit
i brought up the very same thing with the Devs before about keeping those uptodate.

Excellent. This is much more like the information I was looking for. Thankyou!

Did you search the forums for the topic before creating another topic on this subject?

After being told it had been discussed before did you search the forums for those other topics?

That is the reason why it does not exist. Which was the answer the last ten times the subject came up.

That is because perception is still a non-existant stat.

There is a mod that lets you kill downed npcs.

Slavery being the exception iirc?

more than slavery
there's others that the NPC can do that the PC cant.
its called balance and giving something for the player to overcome. because the NPC is never as good as the PC. so at some point the deck has to be stacked against the PC until AI becomes smart enough to provide a challenge.
and for Kenshi it restricts the player from certain things to keep it challenging.

Look into the mod, it's very buggy.

the assassination skill really should be renamed as ambush or something to better reflect what it actually does

as far as killing someone, i dont see why you would want to. nock them out, steal their stuff then hall them in to a little walled off arena for crossbow practice

Not as easy as you think when you're trying to kidnap someone from the middle of town.

Wow, I have several thoughts on that. Given what we've heard Chris say....

But not here, not again with that debate. In the end it always comes down to "It's his game" Which it is.
