Stealth/archery question

[asmcint]

One thing I noticed in the gameplay showing an early version of the Nest of Vipers quest was that, with a well-placed arrow, they were able to kill enemies in one shot from stealth. I've been trying to do the same thing to get through this quest, but even if I plant one directly in an enemy's face in a spot where their helmet isn't covering them, they don't die. What gives?

I only killed 1 guy with an arrow to the head but he was sleeping with no helmet.

If anyone knows why this is the case, I'd seriously appreciate it. I'd like an actual feasible chance of killing one of these Cumans and sneaking in.

I can kill people with 1 arrow even to the chest. I got Yew Longbow (power 77) and arrows with 150dmg. I think all characters have 100 max hp always. My bow skill is 8 but I have been able to 1hit KO at 6 I think

That might explain it. I have a Villager's Ash Bow(37 power), Wounding Arrows(115 slash damage), and a bow skill of 2.

whenever i do those destroy the bandit camp quests, i try and kill them from a distance with bow and arrow but as soon as i fire the first one they all stand up and look in my direction, and 5 seconds later come charging after me.
Im pretty far away and hide in a bush but they still see me, is this becuase of my visability lvl?

are you doing this in broad daylight? if so, probably. This game seems slightly more realistic about its detection that the normal RPG. if you sit in a bush in daylight wearing shiny armour or bright red then you'll be seen pretty easily.

wearing black in darkness helps ALOT. sitting in black cloths in a pitch black corners and ive had people walk straight past me in touching distance.

still, there does seem to be some weirdness in detection once you actually kill somebody, there definately seems to be a different active and passive detection stat.

In a previous story line, i used this trick/bug to kill almost all coumans with a bow :
when you enter the coumans place by the ''secret'' entrance (with posion potion and a chest with couman stuff), next on the right there is a small cave with water. If you get inside, you can see coumans yelling at you behind the small wall that is in front of the cave's stairs, but they never manage to go over that wall and get inside the cave. So you can shoot them one by one from the bottom of the stairs :)
