How exactly does agility affect sneaking? How effective is each point of agility when it comes to sneaking compared to how effective the sneak perk levels. Is armor/clothing weight still a factor, and if so, how much does it negatively hurt your sneak.

Sneak perk is the deciding factor, agi has little to no effect.

agility does not effect sneak in this game

sneak perks are the only effective way of getting better (edit: apart from +sneak gear ofcourse)

weight and armour are irrelevant too, only movement speed while sneaking makes a difference (which rank 4 negates)

also worth noting having rank 2 & 3 (no trigger floor traps and mines respectively) works whether you are sneaking or not

Well, I've noticed a difference, so I did some testing. I put all non legendary armor on my character, equaled to be about 13 agility with the stuff I had on and a minor exploit. I have all "cunning" legendaries and my agility is now at around 19. I've noticed that I am much harder to detect by most enemies. I would just like to find out how much a single point really effects it.


(btw, the action points you have at that point... Holy crap)

there is nothing listed anywhere about agility effecting sneak

so if it does there will be no way of knowing untill GECK comes out

Do special stats change depending on the level of the enemy? I wouldn't think they would. I tested against plain raider scum. Changed out armor and repeated with the cunning armors, I got to the point where they would touch me before finally spotting me with it. Without, however, I would be about 3 meters out before they spotted me. I also made sure to keep the exact copies of my legendaries with normal armor, so my right arm was still the synth arm with the same mods etc...

I find it funny that no one can hear me sneaking around in a full suit of X-01 armor, that thing is the opposite of quiet. Though with ballistic weave being a thing, I can see why they took out the equipment factor.
