They bleed to death? Sure that's possible. But how about they die from asphyxiation?

It'll take a long effing time, but most creatures will eventually suffocate. It'll raise your wrestling skill, and they usually don't fight back much, though!

Zombies/Skeletons, and creatures with the NO_BREATHE tag will never suffocate, no matter how long you strangle them.

Strangling damages the throat, causing bleeding.  If you put someone in a choke hold and then wait, or fight somebody else, they'll eventually suffocate

It's annoying how Elves keep bleeding to death while I'm trying to strangle them.

That is sig material right there my friend.

So if I'm at the point where I can strangle them, I just hold down the . key and wait for them to suffocate while gaining wrestling XP? Awesomesauce.

People:
First: grab throat.
Second: choke throat
Third: Strangle throat
Rest: Repeat third.

It will cause major damage to the creature's throat and kill it in internal bleeding, which I think is more like a bug than a feature.

So strangling damages the throat, and just standing there with a chokehold on them asphyxiates them to death?

Precisely.

I just tested it. You do not gain XP from just choking them. As far as I know, what you're doing to them by strangling is called crushing. Very different from strangling. I find it amusing how I can strangle a giant to death and give it internal bleeding. His throat is far too big. It would be far more effective to cut the blood vessels. I'd like that implemented.

People would like alot of things implemented. It doesn't exactly mean it'll happen though.

Seeing how far this game has come, its not a matter of "If" something will be implemented, but "when".

The best use I can figure for using the choke to suffocate rather than brutalize the throat is when you're fighting multiple choke-ready opponents.  As soon as you have the chokehold on one, move on to grabbing and choking your next guy.

...

it could work, i guess.

maybe?

I like to strangle those kinds of creatures with lashers.

Naw it makes sense.

It can take over 5 minutes to kill someone by sufficating them (Television likes to give it... perhaps 2 minutes... which is JUST long enough to knock them out... but people tend to survive that)

However if you were to collapse someone's throat and rupture the viens in their neck (or heck snap their spine) you could cause quite a bit of damage.
