wondering how you triger the fatality? with one of my character it triggers all the time if its a one hit, but with my other character i never get the fatality, the target just dies...shouldnt it trigger if its a dagger-sneak-one-hit-kill regardless if its dual wield or one wield or power attack? or does it only trigger for a certain attack type?

There's a random chance involved. I think it's less likely to trigger if your deathblow is part of the dual-wield double power attack, though.

I honestly don't think it can trigger from a dual wield attack.

ah so thats probably the reason cause it never triggers with my 2 dagger dualwield assassin... but on my other guy who uses a sword and a dagger (altough i think i dual-attack) it triggers...maybe the game doesnt recognise it then as dualwield or so...

I seem to get it almost 100% of the time. I have a dagger in my right hand and a spell in my left. I get directly behind the enemy and hold down power attack and it happens.

okay...so no trigger for dualwield then...

90% of the time a single non-power attack will kill anyone you successfully surprise, though. And I can verify it does trigger while dual-wielding, just not from the double power attack.

ah ok...i always powerattack (just to be safe in case the 30x damage isnt enough lol)

I dual wield daggers and it happens quite often for me, so it can't be that...
