Stealth Killing

[Elder Drake]

So I have read multiple threads on Reddit and Steam where the dev stated he did not want to add the ability to stealth kill enemies as he wanted the player to not be special. The problem is it is immersive breaking as hell for me because there is no way in hell that you would leave a guard knocked out that enslaved you when he will get up in seconds.

I looked at some of the mods to allow this by adding an item to npcs inventory that when removed kills them, but the have a massive flaw where new slaves being taken have their inventory removed so in essence the game stops new slaves from being processed as doing so kills them.

Someone had an incredible idea of crafting an item that you could place into the inventory of a KO'd or sleeping npc, then remove it and have it kill them (say a stiletto). Anyone have an alternative idea or input on this because I love the game but this is, imho, a stupid call to have a skill named assassinate that only knocks people out. Let alone Kenshi being an apocalyptic game where I can only see established groups enslaving people and those eeking it by would kill downed enemies.

What if enemies used that on you? Would you be ok with it then? get knocked out in a fight and that's that. Bandits loot and kill all your squad.

I have completely justified this by adding the cmdarkside mod. Someone i wanna kill? Take them back to my base and pop them on a hook and watch them bleed to death while screaming their lungs out. I dont have to do it often but sometimes i get random inquisitor chads that need...realignment. The crucifix mod is also great for watching big strong guys starve to death and reverse into a bag of bones. Why just kill your victims when you can break their souls!

Yes, why not? I would expect a higher chance of death over capture.

I'd be pissed off if my team got killed off by a bunch of 1 combat/90 assassin skilled enemies and there was nothing i could do about it. Sounds like it would just encourage reloading when bad stuff happens

Especially considering, early game, you can't even out-run those guys.

The Dev had also said, if he added it, he would allow the NPC to do the same thing to you.
and since at the start of the game, all you do is find time to be knocked out, you would die.
so you would never be able to play the game.

instead he added sliders to adjust damage and chance of death.
use those in lou of a coup de grace.

Just setting chance of death from 1 to 2 almost guarantees someone dies from bleeding if they go into a recovery coma.

Calm down forums, I was asking if there was a way to accomplish this and not to change the game for me.

I'll try sliders, you all enjoy the weekend and happy gaming.
