In the E3 gameplay demo, in the first part of the Bleak Falls Barrow dungeon gameplay, Dovakhiin uses a bow to stealthily assassinate two enemies. Thing is, when he kills the first one, the other doesn't do anything, just pulls out his weapon and stands there, letting the PC easily kill him.
I hope its just because they hadn't fixed the stealth system, because it seems quite worrying if we want quality stealth. The NPC doesn't have to come straight at you if you've got a high stealth character, but they should react in some way...

Thoughts?

I think npc:s should go search the player in random directions, and then suddenly turn around and spot your attempt to kill the npc or something like that..

Confirmed that there will be a caution state for NPCs, like in Fallout 3. I guess this guy just happened to not search around, or was about to but Todd finished him off.

My thoughts?

Quit worying about a game that isn't out yet, get away from the boards, enjoy life, come back a couple weeks after the release and make a better assessment with more information (and opinion).

Well, ya asked for my thoughts :shrug:
