Ok i just started a new char on morroblivion, and i just wanted a little info before i go any further...
It seems to me sneaking is kinda broken... Im not sure if it is or not but i created a stealth based char and went and done one of the first quests where you have to go into the cave near the silt strider, i tried to sneak into the cave and sneak attack crit the npc at the bottom... but the moment i start to move down she detects me and im not even within her sight range (shes standing behind a canoe) so i tested it and kept moving forward and confirmed the moment im any within the vicinity of a hostile npc im detected instantly.
Ive tried turning auto run off while im sneaking and it did no good. I havent played morrowind since the xbox 1 or oblivion since it was first released on 360 and dont remember if sneaking was this sensitive. Just want to know if i should continue as a stealth char or remake something else before i go any further.
I dont have any mods installed other than morroblivion.
I noticed that too,but it`s strange as in the training section in oblivion when you are heading for the sewer exit,an imp has to be attacked with sneak.and that works great.
Maybe the NPC has to be facing away from you [i think the imp was].
