Attacking an NPC from the Back Finishing Move : V

» Sat Sep 24, 2011 7:02 am

Do you think that there should be a backstabbing finishing move for NPCs without steel armor? I was not impressed by the video when I saw a character with a sword fight an NPC with no weapon. The NPC was putting his fist up like he was going to do some damage to a guy with a sword. The NPC should have ran or should have died after the first attack to the back, its not like he had a armored back. I am moreso bother by the fact the NPC did not have armor and did not show any signs of staggering or weakness.

All the Good Stuff: elderscrolls.net ENJOY!!! :biggrin:

One of the earliest screenshots shows a backstab. So I'm guessing they're in.

When I read this you made be think of this video. Also, I was thinking of the first guy in it at about 0:50. :sweat:

In one of the demo videos, I definitely remember seeing a backstab finisher on a fleeing npc.

EDIT: It is in the E3 gameplay demo at 8:08.
