I don't know about you but do you ever get the feeling that every NPC in the TES series are psychic? Guards saw what you did, and know exactly where you hide if you try to escape, same goes with everything chasing you. You are basically never "safe" if something is determined to kill you. I know that most people would just confront their enemies but if you are too weak, or lack of potions etc: Why not make the game a little more tactical and interesting? Instead of not being safe until you are miles ahead and in another map.

I think that it would be really cool if you were able to hide away from enemies, for instance: Let's say that some guards are chasing you down the streets in a city. You manage to take a turn and hide behind some old crates or something and the guards would be like "where did he go?!" :tongue: It kinda makes the game much more tactical and realistic. Earlier you were doomed when people started chasing you, they had x-ray vision and knew excatly where you were at any given time.

To those who have played Amnesia: The Dark Descent: The "hiding" mechanic that game has is brilliant, and I think the TES games would benefit greatly from a simplyfied version of that mechanic. Also think about Assassins Creed, basically the same principal! :spotted owl:

Do we know if Beth has thought of this? Also if you prefer to be forever chased by evil enemies, thats cool too I guess.

Two improvements off the top of my head already confirmed were if you killed all witnesses to a crime the bounty would be removed, and that bounties are not carried over from Hold to Hold. As for the rest of the psychic guards issues, I know that was fixed to a large extent a long time ago in Oblivion and I have a feeling that Beth took at least some pointers from those mods based on the aforementioned improvements. Hopefully it will be enough

Yeah I would really like this to be in the game either in vanilla or through mods. Although it will probably be very hard to implement through mods but you never know.

I thought I read something about player was running away from some people and hid.Anyways,yes it would be awesome.

There is a sneak perk that lets you hide whilst under attack. Don't the the exact mechanics of it though, if it has any limitations etcetera
