Enemies not getting knocked down from Shield Sprint : V

» Thu Dec 15, 2011 5:59 am

Hi. I have the perk for blocking that is supposed to knock your enemies down upon sprinting into them. It was working very well at first and I don't know what happened, but now none of the enemies are getting knocked down from Shield Sprinting. My block is at 100 and I'm using a Dragon Shield. Can anyone tell me what's wrong?

No idea, perhaps you could be more descriptive. Like on what platform are you playing Skyrim on ? What version of the game do you have ? Can you provide a screenshot of your block perk tree. Can you provide a video of you attempting to do the shield sprinting knock down ? Are you certain you are sprinting but not just running ?

Tell us more.

Gotta be blocking, and pushing the sprint button, if you are... trying re-equipping your shield

Not all enemys are launched, only weaker ones.

I love this abilty, very useful on a Paladin. Works AMAZING with spellbreaker and mages.

Playing on PC
Verison 1.1
Certain I'm sprinting into them while holding block

Thing is, it was working beautifully before. But now, the thing is, once in a blue moon something weird happens...they will get knocked down even WITHOUT my shield equipped, and by me just bumping into them body to body contact! Very strange....then after a few seconds, it will go back the way it was and they won't get knocked down anymore even with the shield.

Do you guys think it could have something to do with my blocking skill at 108, 8 points over the default maximum? I am using Elys' Level Uncapper Mod...would this have affected this shield bash ability to function properly?

it comes down to timing. i still screw it up on occasion. also why are you on 1.1, they have 1.3 out now.

Yeah but I'm too scared because of all the potiential game breaking bugs :nope:

Is 1.3 really better than 1.1? :nope:

ive been very lucky and unlucky at the same time. the only bug i didnt want that i got was the magic resistance bug which is fixed in 1.3. however i was actively looking for the fun bugs like backwards dragons and the rotating sleeping bug but i could never replicate those.
