Is This Cheating or Good Tactics?

Post » Wed Dec 14, 2011 10:43 am

Ok, what Ive been doing in this game is... getting a bow and arrow then when am am being attacked I jump up onto something higher so any NPCs can't reach me... then I shoot them with arrows... they try and take cover but when I hit them they move from one place to another but back and forth... so it is VERY easy to kill them, to the point when i feel like I'm cheating... as in I am taking advantage of an AI fault as NPCs can't jump.

Skyrim is a single-player game the only person telling you if this or that is a cheat is yourself.

Well if it makes you feel cheap, and lessens your satisfaction from getting kills, time to change it up.

Well its definately not tactics, nor is it cheating. More or less just taking advantage of the poor AI pathing, which we all do occasionally, but it doesnt stop ya from feeling dirty after you've killed him lol :biggrin: . How ever you want to play, theres nothing wrong with it.

Anyway, OP, I would call it tactics. Not very exciting, mind you, but it is not cheating.

I do, there is a severe lack of penguins, pies, and arrows :P

Seriously, I don't consider it cheating since doing so hasn't prevented me from having fun.

it's all about your own morals. If your RPing a ruthless killer that laughs in the faces of anyone asking for mercy then no its tactics. If your RPing a honorable allignment that fights face to face then yes it's cheating.

It all depends on your own playstyle


@Hoki... I did, guess i'm the only one that realized it's not an online game... Think all these threads asking for multiplayer is getting to everybody. Exploiting mechanics in a SP only game won't get you banned...& if somehow in some messed up reality it did, do you not see how this doesn't make any sence at all? YOUR NOT ONLINE =].


lol "You have been banned from accessing your single player saved data." ...really?

In OB they stood there, at least they move in Skyrim. Although I still want acrobatics back.

I used to climb on rocks and shoot things, then I took an arrow in the knee.
