Yes, you must be in sneak mode and standing right behind them - the sneak attack must also be able to kill them in a single hit to trigger the throat-slitting animation (which if you have the appropriate perk will happen almost every time on normal enemies).

I usually put points in Backstab and Assassin's Blade, but since I never try it, they don't do me much good (yet). Derp. Thanks, I'll try that.

Edit: Is there a recommended damage rating on the weapon, for that to work? I assume that with those perks, a dagger would be recommended, right? I always smith, enchant, and sell those. I can't imagine actually keeping one.

Skyrim Kinect Voice Commands

[Giggles_Manically]

I love using throw voice.

Attract a huge mob....then FIREBALL!

Also at max level its like on a two second recharge.
Very handy to use.

Also silly!
"HEY SKEEVER BUTT! HEY MELON NOSE! HEY TROLL BAIT!"

I find animal allegiance handy for animals to leave me alone when I'm on my travels. Sometimes i dont feel like fighting, so I'll just shout. Illusion spells are handy for this, too.

It's kind of funny seeing a bear or a sabretooth cat charging at me through the woods, casually get hit with a fear Illusion spell, and immediately turn tail and book it out of there as if I'm the lord of darkness himself.

I haven't had much practice with slitting peeps' throats. I guess I wasn't exactly sure how that went down. Do you sneak behind them, attack, and it happens?

And no, I don't even have a Kinect - how exactly does it function with Skyrim, anyway? Do you actually have to say "Fus... ro dah!" out loud to trigger the Shout?

I have sneaked up on people countless times with my assassin, but I never got the kill move.

[happy_daiz]

^ I did get it one time, when I killed The Gourmet, but it happened so fast, I had no idea what I did. I kinda just sat there with my jaw dropped for a second. Kill animations are awesome.

Is Sheogorath in my game or something?

Here I was walking towards Kynesgrove I look up because I heard something. THEN SEE 4 SPIDERS COMING TOWARDS ME FROM ABOVE!

I freaked but they landed all around me dead, with a thump.
Then it gets even more weird later on I fight a dragon, but make a mistake and am getting beaten up. Only for this mammoth to show up form nowhere and beat the dragon up.

So...yeah I think okay things cant get any more weird.
I turn around and go walking up a mountain...only to run right into a group of hunters all pointing arrows at me.

Only for them to suddenly shoot a necromancer wanting revenge for the Azura Star quest. I kept walking and found Miaq on top of a mountain talking about werebears.

So I put my game down and am waiting for it to be less crazy.

I'm pretty sure you can be using a single dagger (i.e. no dual wielding or shields)

Sheogorath does indeed meddle in your affairs when you're randomly wandering in Skyrim.  I'm convinced of that.  And sometimes he helps you out.

True story: I was walking around, minding my own business, looking for that 20th Jazbay grape  I needed to complete the quest for that Nirnroot farmer  down south,  when some crazy old woman came up  to me begging me to use Webbajack on her.  So I did.  It turned her into a  bunny or some such.  That's fine.  I knew  about that encounter already.  It happened to me before in one of my previous games.

A couple of minutes later, I've moved on.  Suddenly, from out of nowhere, a dead hagraven falls from the sky and lands right at my feet. So, I do what any adventurer does.  I loot its body.  I find  a hagraven feather (of course) and.... a jazbay grape!   Awesome.  Thank you Sheogorath!

Amazing sequence!!! Sounds fun. The spiders was a (funny) bug, the rest in game. Mammoths have super high HP.

A dagger is preferable with Assasin's Blade, yes. Probably a single one, I don't think you get the animation while dual-wielding. It's also a great idea to use the Dark Brotherhood Shrouded Gloves/Gauntlets to double the damage output. With this setup I can drop most enemies in one hit with 0 perks in One Handed.

Oh, did I already mention that the Illusion spells from the Calm/Pacify line are a huge help in setting up sneak attacks and levelling Sneak? They are basically an "I win" button (except for dragons). At least as long as you invest in the relevant amplifying perks at higher levels, of course. That on Master difficulty too. Rarely on highest level bosses you need to dual-cast these to be effective.

Ah, that may explain it. I use two daggers and press both keys when I backstab. I think by now I can kil most enemies with one dagger, but two used to be necessary to take down bandit chiefs and such in one sneak attack.

All good stuff, thanks! I always use Muffle (Illusion is usually my best/highest skill tree), but haven't tried out Calm. I seriously must be in a dream sequence when I play, because there are so many things in retrospect that I don't even try, that I have to scratch my head at. I think I get into a specific rhythm, and don't deviate much. It's my stubborn nature, I guess.

I can't wait to try all these things out!

No seriously, that is pretty friggin' awesome. The greatest thing the Prince of Madness has ever done for me is cause a random dead dragon to rain down in front of me - I got a free soul, dragon bones, and dragon scales.
Thanks, Uncle Sheo!

Makes me wonder if I've had some of these things happen, too... like, are all of the dead that fall from the sky presents from Sheogorath? He really does like me! Hooray! *does happy dance, spins around, then faints*

[Barbarossa2010]

I've only been back in the game for a few hours, and I've had a couple of random dead creatures and/or persons fall out of the sky right around me. All were lootable of course, so I didn't complain. The weirdest thing that happened though was when I was up north trying to level my bow, shot a wolf, and out of nowhere two dead wolves (neither, the one I shot) came flying right past me like bullets, landing just behind me. I admit it, it scared the living sh-- out of me.

Eh, shook it off, got some gold, a few pelts I needed, and moved on to Saarthal to meet up with Toldfir, since I have yet to actually do the College of Winterhold questline.

Sheogorath may very well be possessing the game.

I was having a bit of a problem with getting the death sequence with a stealth assassin kill.

My son advised me that he made sure to have the best armor that fortified in achieving that and most of all to make sure that the weapon he used had a lot of damage to the victim intended.

Otherwise, a higher leveled victim wouldn't succumb to it. He said in order to get it, your total damage has to be greater than their life's XP. For the most part, I think he's right.
Having as many things to add helps if you don't have the Assassin's Blade skill perk yet.

[Giggles_Manically]

Freaking Sheogorath.

So here I was near Darkwater crossing.

Suddenly I see Aela and Ria running past.....then a naked Skjor butt sliding across the road after them....serves me right for having all that Skooma last night.

Outside of that I just dropped a diamond in Riften and saw Mjoll kill:
Two Guards, Aerin, the blacksmith, and the meat saleswoman.

Then Maven slit her throat.
Then I felt bad and reloaded.

[Giggles_Manically]

Its not really an achievement but hot damn I just got 2000 people killed in Skyrim.

Which is more people than exist in every city and village...10 times over.

[android654]

Okay, I need a little help. I haven't played Skyrim in so long that when I tried to pick it up again I was completely lost. I want to start over and build an assassin, but don't want to ignore two handed weapons completely. Any ideas where to start

[Dutchess]

If you want to be an assassin, I'd say the sneak tree is the first you have to invest in, so that you can get assassin's blade to mutliply your backstab damage. Then you can sneak up on the thougher enemies and (almost) kill them with a nice dual backstab.

Regular diel-wielding of daggers doesn't do that much damage in my experience. My light-armored khajiti assassin was pretty much screwed everytime she got attacked by a bear or a sbre cat up until a relatively high level.

Seriously, it's all I can do to hold this laugh in - I'm at work, for cryin' out loud!
