But if it's really that deadly, you should have a pretty good chance of killing yourself. Either you have to assume that all people are dumb enough to ingest random liquids they find on themselves, or that the poison is so toxic as to work through the skin. I just don't think putting a bottle of poison on someones pocket, or even spilling it all over them seems like a very good strategy. Even in Oblivion this would have been possible as NPCs had eating schedules, although I they usually just pulled food from their inventory, only sometimes from the environment)īut now that we have cooking, it seems like it would be easier than ever to just click on someone's pan of salmon and drop the poison in there. Of course, 125lbs is still a lot without physical representation, but the reason for that is aesthetics.īut if you want to poison someone the traditional, stealthy way, you put it in their food. And by most people's guess, the weight units are equal to 1/4 of a pound, meaning that carrying 500 is actually 125 pounds, and that's only for Strength 100 chars. Hitpoints stand in for blood loss and organ trauma. And being able to carry 500 pounds of stuff without so much as a backpack.īut it's abstraction that has no real world equivalent.

Why is a bottle of poison in someones pocket 10x deadlier than a knife wound with poison drizzled in it? What makes me mad is that I bet if you apply that same poison to a knife and stab someone, you'll get a damage increase, but you'll still have to stand there and stab them 10 more times. You do it, and the person turns up dead later. What upsets me is that I imagine that's how "pickpocketing" poison works. You don't have to stick around to make sure you make a mortal wound, thus increasing the chances of being caught. It would make more sense if you could poison a knife, and just randomly stab someone on the street, knowing that as soon as you strike them you can turn around and run. Most have to enter the blood stream, either through an open wound, ingestion, or contact with a mucus membrane such as inside the nose, mouth, or anus.

Very few poisons are toxic enough to kill just from skin contact. In all seriousness, it really doesn't make much sense. If you want to kill someone in town, fine, do so without being caught - I am almost 100% sure it will take me less time to poison them as I bump into them in a busy street - oh what happened - heart attack? Seems like. Seriously - it makes common sense that sometimes you want to kill someone without it being traced back to you.

Someone dropping dead from poison takes a lot more work to figure out that some with an arrow wound in their skull. The first would take too long and the second is just unlikely, unless you switch it with a health potion so they drink it in battle when their health is low, finishing themselves off, but thats still not a very good option when you can just poison an arrow or blade and do stealth damage as well. Either the bottle is open and the poison soaks into their clothes/skin or everyone is dumb enough to drink strange, noxious smelling liquids that appear in their pockets. Sorry, but I need someone to explain to me how putting poison in someone's pocket causes them any harm. Everyone seems to think it's awesome, but I don't like it or see its usefulness when you could use a poisoned arrow to do base damage as well as poison them, and from a safe distance.
