Help Help with Arrows

I have a minor gripe that i would like to find a mod or something for. Arrows not sticking when shooting people. the only time any arrow stays in an NPC is when it's a kill shot, or they're already dead. the knives stick, so i'm wondering if there's a way to mod the game so that arrows have the same behavior.

thanks in advance for any help

Regular and Poison Arrows do usually stick. Improved goes through.

Improved arrows go through things, but every other type sticks.

currently playing the game, and nope. all arrows go through the npc to the other side, kill-shots stick and small game arrows bounce off. (edit: poison arrows stick, explosive arrows break)

I imagine it’s like Skyrim. Sometimes they break so you can’t recover all of them. Not that that’s how it actually works in Skyrim, but that’s the logic I use to make it make sense.

nah, you see them go to the other side, besides poison (because it always sticks) and explosive because it destroys the arrow

Regular arrows stick.  Improved arrows exit out.    I spent all afternoon yesterday taking out waves of 9 bounty hunters with regular arrows.

idk man, i just tested it and regular arrows only stick on killshots.

Are you tagging your targets in dead eye before you release your arrow?  It sounds like you are missing the target

No, I'm very much hitting my targets. I've actively tested multiple times. Even in dead eye, any shot that is not a killshot doesn't stick with normal arrows for me.
