📋 About This Mod

Mod Overview

This mod allows sneak killmoves to occur in Requiem.

Why are sneak killmoves (seemingly) disabled in vanilla requiem?

Killmoves in Skyrim are bugged. They should only trigger when a hit would kill your target, but the game ignores armor when making this calculation. As a result, killmoves can trigger and kill the target even if the hit wasn't actually going to kill.

Requiem addresses this by adding a health percentage threshold for killmoves which prevents them from triggering on NPCs at full health. It's a good workaround, but it unfortunately makes stealth killmoves very rare.

This mod just removes the health threshold for stealth killmoves, so they occur again.

  • []NPCs with the "Vexing Flanker" Perk will still be immune as is consistent with how the perk functions.[/]
Note: This does not fix the underlying bug of killmoves ignoring armor. Install only if you understand that limitation and, like me, just want your stealth killmoves back.
