Why are enemies so treacherous? [duplicate] - A Neon Light Text Signage

On many, many occasions in Skyrim, I fight an enemy and get them to low health. At this point, by far the most common thing they say is:

No more! I yield! I yield!

I have, of course, learned better. But originally I figured "eh, what the hell, I've already pickpocketed him for everything, I'll let him live". As soon as he'd recovered enough to stand, he attacked me again (so I cut his head off).

Point is, are there any enemies that will actually yield when defeated (excluding Brawls), or is there really no honour among bandits?



Best Answer

Apart from dialogue-initiated brawls and specially-scripted scenes (the only one that comes to mind is the moth priest in Dawnguard), nobody will actually yield and stop fighting during combat.
