Master Assassin, but can't Assassinate?
I have trained my Assassination to over 40, and am very disappointed to find that... I can't actually assassinate anyone. I was hoping that at some skill level there would be new options to actually kill instead of KO, but this doesn't seem to be the case?

I would love to see a 'Kill' menu option in addition to the KO option. Perhaps you could do critical damage to their head or chest to where, if they don't get immediate medical aid, they will die.

As it is, I don't feel very rewarded for leveling up Assassination.

Am I alone here?

Maybe you should take a look at the interaction menu on someone you've knocked out? It doesn't work right now, but it certainly looks to me like it's coming.
new uncompleted feature.

um its just not high enough-

Im at 85 and have had the option of "Silent Kill" since 60 i think

its in game and works


Edit- and besides, it takes all of 5 minutes to get to lv 100, all you have to do is take an NPC back to one of your buildings and KO them repeatedly until it maxes, it honestly takes less than 10 minutes if you have 2-3 NPC's to alternate on

Very nice. This doesnt hurt your faction reputation because its being done while in stealth though right?

By NPC I mean snag a bandit or random escaped slave, no need to snag citizens or guards.

I don't want to do something so.. cheesy?.. to level it up, but thank you for confirming that it is possible and will be unlocked if I stick with it! I thought it would show up by 40, but it seems I have to keep going with it. Some text in the character screen that it will eventually be unlocked would rock, though.

Do you need to knock them out first before you can kill them, as Shidan indicated?

I will definitely train it up and put it to use on Holy Nation guards. I am going to take them apart one assassination at a time!

Whelp, trained it to 65, and still no option to silent kill that actually works. On -some- NPCs, I get a stealth kill option on knocked out targets, but some only just show loot and pickup.

Same. Level 61, no stealth kill...

How? Does the option just appear, or do you need to knock them out first?

Any animal knocked out can be instantly killed by moving the skins in the inventory.

Indeed. However, this has little to nothing to do with the Assassination skill.
