Chorrol.com _ Skyrim Mods _ Need some help. Silencing unarmed strikes.

Posted by: Sakiri Sep 27 2019, 10:07 PM

Is there anything I can do in CK to make unarmed attacks silent? Like how daggers are. It has to have it's own properties, as it's assigned a sneak multiplier (x2), and there's a fortify effect.

I want to make my sneak attacks with fists silent. I'm playing an assassin punchcat with Vokrii and its a lot of fun, put I'm a little tired of alerting the guy in the room two walls over every time I put someone in a sleeper hold.

Any idea where to look? I don't mind doing it myself, just looking for where to start.

Instant reaction is that it's impossible, as the engine considers both the weapon and the armour when selecting the sound. So if you punch a can, it sounds like a can. However, there may be something like the Muffle effect for footsteps that can silence it all.

I'm completely unarmored. Since there's the ability to modify it, I'm assuming it's considered a weapon type.

Skyrim doesn't seem to take what you're hitting into consideration as to how loud it is, or daggers wouldn't be completely silent, all the time.

All else fails I resort to daggers when I need to make silent kills, but that's so freaking often and I really don't have the perk points to spend on a weapon type(I'm actually perking things I never perk like lockpicking this go around).

I just don't know where to even start looking for it.

Forgive my ignorance about modding but if daggers offer silent attack and you can't get fists to do so, would there be any benefit to approaching the problem from the perspective of wielding daggers and focusing your modding on rendering those daggers not visible?

It could be, and I'm sure there's something that does that(sure I've seen unarmed mods adding special invisible weapons to use) but I'm using Vokrii(EnaiSialon perk mod) that has a branch of the Light Armor tree that gives bonuses to unarmed damage and the like, so I've been perking it. I hit like a truck, outside sneak attacks(think they're only doing base damage x2 for sneak attacks because my punches hit harder than my sneak attacks) but they're not silent.

I might just give up on the idea too, which would be disappointing but it is what it is.
