Smoke bombs are incredibly frustrating to use, mostly due to clunky assassination animations

In the OG game, Edward had a very easy to perform quick stab animation that allowed him to chain targets pretty efficiently, however, not only do some enemies bug out and don’t have the assassination prompt like they should, Edward frequently gets stuck in annoying assassination enemies.

The one that bothers me the most is this one where Edward very slowly walks up to someone, slits their throat, and keeps walking past them. You can tell this animation was designed for crossing a guard on the street, and I imagine it’s pretty cool in that situation, but in a smoke bomb, this animation sucks! Not only does it take forever, but it also causes Edward to slowly walk out of the smoke bomb and into a hail of bullets before you regain control of your character.
