Improved Sneak Mode

Post » Wed Mar 30, 2011 7:55 am

I do love my thieves and assassins...but sneaking was just something that seemed...blocky? I don't know if that is the right word but it is the one that comes to mind...

I apologize if this is a repeat topic.

Entering sneak mode means my character assumes the sneak position. Regardless of why I was sneaking and who was around...

Frankly, if I am in a shop and suddenly drop down in "sneak position" I would think that would attract A LOT of attention. Now if sneak mode were to take an Assassin's Creed approach...where you just stalk along and use sleight of hand to steal/kill/move. To me it would also justify the higher ranking sneak skills. Because in OB or MW whether I had minimized my sneak or maximized my sneak I always used the same position...

Thoughts?

Besides that I overuse ellipses...

And if they use the same indicator they used in OB then knowing whether you were in sneak mode or not wasn't hard.

Double post FTW!
That would be simple script work, so if Beth would actually care about reading this forum, you expect such a feature in the game.

This is why I use illusion as a major skill on my stealth chars :D

ALSO:

I want a more advanced sneak system to be unlocked at low level sneak. Similar to Fallout.
