NPCs run too fast even if you tackle

[VadeN]

It's really obnoxious when you fight bandits, cumans or just villagers and they start to run like if they were sanic.

Once you've caught up to them and tackle them, they get up superfast (bug?) and start running at lightspeed again so you have no chance to even get one swing in at them even though you literally have punctured all their intestines already.

Does anyone know a fix for this?

Have you unlocked and selected the 'Dreadful' perk. This needs to be established I think first.

I have not unlocked it yet since the description is "foes will be more likely to flee" which would make the problem even worse

It's better with swords. I think the game was designed with longswords in mind, since it has actual slash in the tackle animation, while tackle with other weapons just turns the enemy towards you, and your recovery animation + attack is longer than that of your opponent's.

If you fight with mace then you get this problem, and any real solution to it is to use a bow to shoot fleeing enemies.

I just wait for them to come back. Its much easier.

hehheh ok. Most of the time I'm overloaded, I'm just a packrat.. but I use the Horse to get ahead of them, then line up with them and tackle when prompt comes.

If you think it should be tweaked, send them an email with some feedback :)

Once I learned that the weight affects my speed and stamina, no bandit ever managed to run from me. Just keep your inventory empty and pay attention to the weight of your armor. My speed never goes below 29

This seemed to have changed with 1.3. NPCs now run absurdly fast. They look stupid running back and forth at breakneck speed.

All that is needed to fix this is the addition of Yakety Sax.

Its called running for your life.

Right. I don't get why people don't get this lol If I was running from a murderer I sure as hell wouldn't stop running at full speed until I was dead.

You wouldn't be able to run that fast if you'd already be maimed, have a punctured lung and taken bone crushing blows to the head.
You'd be lucky if you could even stand up.

It's not realistic.

/tackle to floor
/up, on his feet and sprinting like a Parkour Master before I can swing once
/KCD is about realism

All this sounds realistic except for the fact that if you just hang out in their camp with your bow they just keep coming back over and over until you shoot them dead.

If only i were as lucky. If you're not at a camp but meet bandits/cumans on the road they just run away and never come back so you pretty much waste 2-3 minutes fighting someone who just runs away.

I have chased dudes wearing heavy armor who bolted from me like a gazelle, and whose stamina was high and strong despite having an arrow in the knee. It is absurd.
