I'm pretty sure she's strangling them...

^I think she is aswell.

Well, don't strangles lead to neck breaks, if you do it hard enough? Anyway, even if it was just a strangle, that doesn't change the fact that the men are still way bigger and stronger than Lara. It's still unrealistic for someone as small as Lara to strangle them.

Yes, they should be able to push her aside with ease. It should be the other way around, if they get too close to Lara they should be able to strangle her, if you have low health. Oh wait.. there is no longer a health bar.

It's totally unrealistic. They should have left that move out, or just have Lara finish them off by sticking an arrow through their neck.

Yeah this was the word! :o

Hmm... I bet someone from CD asked this before adding that move to the game :p..

Can an average woman choke out a man? Like UFC fighters.?

Quote:

Yes, a woman can choke out a bigger stronger man. There are three types of chokes, Air chokes, Blood chokes, and combination chokes that stop the air and the blood flow. Chokes if applied correctly don't require strength. but they do have to be applied correctly.

Quote:

NOTE: all chokes are dangerous and should only be used if necessary. Even then it is best not to bring someone to unconsciousness.

I know, but that's my ™ :vlol:.

I completely agree. CD should have implemented 50% chance your stealth kill gets reversed.

Agreed, especially on your phone. I need to scroll to the right to be able to read it and most of the time I'm simply too lazy to do that, so I skip the posts... Sorry TippingWater, Italibabee, Lance and others who do that. :p

No way, that would be really annoying. >_<
It's still just a game, it's supposed to be fun. Fun comes first, then realism. :-))

Sure it's a game, but don't reboot the franchise and label it brutal and realistic, but apply such forging mechanics :p. I feel like there will be no challenge in this game except for failed qtes.
