For some reason, when I try to stealth kill people, it either makes me talk to them (if I use the Use key) or punch/hit them (if I left click). I seem to recall being able to necksnap anyone as long as I was crouched and behind them.

For instance, I remember being able to break the neck of the annoying ghoul guy in Santa Monica. Any suggestions?

Are you seeing the stealth kill icon over your target? If not, you aren't getting close enough or lined up right. 'Use' key will work if you are doing everything right. Also, the target cannot have detected you or else it will not work (but you shouldn't get the stealth kill icon in that case).

No, if it's possible to talk to them then that's the only icon that appears. I am lined up, the targets can even be in a trance, but if it's an NPC that can be talked to, then it's impossible to break their necks.

I can easily break the necks of any non-talking NPCs with no problem, it's not about where I'm standing.

Yes, that's how it is. You can't stealth-kill people you can talk to.
