Why do all the guards see me when i disturb one of them?

[Biggs]

Skyrim's "AI" is fucking AWFUL. My strategy for beating the "bosses":

1. Arrow to the neck from the shadows. Nice bit of health whittling going on there but he's alerted now that there is an arrow embedded in his fucking neck, and rightly so. Here he comes, looking for me.

2. Stay perfectly still.

3. 10 seconds pass. The boss with AN ARROW EMBEDDED IN HIS FUCKING NECK says, "hmmmm, must've been the wind" and goes back to his starting position.

4. Goto 1.

Funny. This kind of exploitation is why I enjoy Skyrim... it's like a very attractive but insecure woman*.


*I am not a rapist. I was never convicted, okay?

Hmmm Rage has a sneak function that doesn't seem to work.

Can't crossbow sneak kill as it isn't powerful enough to kill em in one shot so they immediately swarm you. Gits

Agree, i keep trying to sneak kill on rage and haven't managed yet...

[ClownTrousers]

I managed it the once in the dull demo. At yhe part where it told me to do it.

The crossbow was never much cop, those wingo blade things, when upgraded, were pretty cool.

[Bob]

To be fair though the wing things are a bit crap too and why on earth would you want to stealth anyway when you've got so many kick ass offensive options?

[The-Marb]

I dunno i found most of the the weapons in the game useful all the way through, including the pistol and the wings. Its one of the games major strengths and shows that id really know what they are doing.

[nojdanzig]

I agree about the weapons in Rage being very good across the board but theres an achievement for stealth killing with a crossbow that just aint gonna happen for me due to the crossbows weakness. Using dynamite bolts or electrobolts doesnt cure it either.

Gotta say that the upgraded ammo was great in general bar the problem listed above.

[BuffAngel]

I only wanted a bit of fun stealth action since it was suggested at the start it is possible.

Apparently not...

Shooty shooty bang bang is good to mind.

Gotta admit that this fucks me off as well! It's especially annoying when you disturb somebody,run off and hide and the AI knows exactly where you've gone even though they shouldn't do
