Is the sneak perk worth it?

Post » Tue Dec 13, 2011 9:24 am

Muffled Movement: Noise from armor is reduced 50%. Which according to the wiki, is a muffle effect. Sooo this means if i have a muffle enchantment my armor would be totally silent? Does my armor's weight being 0 make it soundless already?




Stealth You are 20% harder to detect when sneaking.
You are 25% harder to detect when sneaking.
You are 30% harder to detect when sneaking.
You are 35% harder to detect when sneaking.
You are 40% harder to detect when sneaking.

this perk: how useful is it? Because 5% really doesnt seem much to me.

i agree with the post above, ive put one point into it, and im level 60-odd now(on sneak) and i can sneak up on ppl without having to move too slowly.

its a shame they still speak when you grab them, though one time i sneaked up, grabbed someone and just as im about to slit his throat he says "im gonna enjoy this" :biggrin:

You want every perk in the sneak tree, just keep that one at 1/5. There are a few different boots in the game that have the muffle effect and you will probably get them soon, if you don't have them yet.

Sword Junkie I had a guy say "I'm going to kill you" right as I put a sneak crit shot with my bow in his right eye. Was 1 of the funniest moments I've had in this game, the arrow was literally dead center in his eye ball.

Yeah like the others I thought it was useless and left it at 1, but got every other one in the tree.

That hole perk tree is pretty much awesome except it's basic perk.
I personally think that it should give 10/20/30/40/50% better sneak in order to be worth leveling.

I also think that Haggling should give 10/15/20/25% better prices instead of 15/20/25/30%, but have Allure give 15% better prices when trading with merchant of opposite six instead 10%.

I went back and forth on that one and I think I ended up getting 2/5

I wont miss it if it turns out to be a bit of a waste. I got my perks in order.

I didn't waste 4 perks for an extra 20%, you can add +47% sneaking on one item with enchanting. Also being a vampire adds 25%.
