0008285: Observing death doesn't alert AI that the player is nearby
Save here :
http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=9681 [^]
Load the save , you'll be right behind a kobold that is unaware of your presence.

press SHIFT + a (or A ) to aim an attack
Press ALT+y to confirm you're wanting to attack the monster
Press a for Strike
Press c for neck
Press v for "Heavy attack"
Press a to "hack/silver battle axe"

You should have killed the kobold in 1 hit.
If you did not, reload the save and do it again (i never had to reload, i could 1 hit kill that monster everytime i retried the save)

Notice how that kobold was inside the line of sight of another kobold when you attacked it, and that creature dying in the line of sight of one of his fellow kobold has not alerted at all that other kobold.
No tags attached.
