Sneaking issues

[Loki]

Is anyone else having issues with sneak mechanic? ranges from 1x-3x damage at random and the eye will be slightly open while creatures know exact location

Are you using a bow?

Both dagger and bow. Dagger is consistent but the bow varies at random

Yeah, I've seen dozens of reports on this issue, many thinkning it's a THEM problem.

At this point it seems, for some unknown reason, the game thinks the bow is a two handed weapon.

Really lame.

I’m sitting here thinking it was just RNG between x1 or x3 DMG, got tired of it so started using a dagger now I’m one hitting level 20+ enemies. Never played OG Oblivion but right now I can’t seem to get good gameplay with a stealth archer. I got the Bow of Hatred, got Max Agility and 75+ Marksmanship. Any tips? If I level my Agility past 100 would that help me do more dmg?

Well the AI behaves exactly like OG oblivion. ive seen more posts and it seems like the damage multiplier for bows is bugged atm. no tips from me for more dmg, but id suggest getting transcendent stones from gates to get the good enchants

It sounds stupid, but I have been able to surpass the x1 sneak attack damage by equipping the bow directly from inventory instead of using an Hotkey. Maybe I was lucky, or maybe equipping from hotkeys/favourites is causing the issue. Give it a try at least.

Same problem with the bow

[LexCondran]

sneak is useless in oblvion

best way to use it is to have 100 sneak + enchantments for sneak
then, fortify sneak spell for +100 for a bit
then add chameleon enchantment/spell
on top of wearing light boots or none at all, heavy armor ruins stealth

no boots all day, and dequip your weapons if you're not trying to attack but remain sneaky, they make noise when you move and so does your armor.

At this point I'm waiting for an official patch from the team that rushed this cash grab out. Way too much broken ♥♥♥♥ to try and deal with, even for Bethesda this is a new low.

honestly it seems to me that the higher the level I get, the less often I see 3x sneak damage. It's almost always 1x now and im like level 14 I think. I have the level 5? I think bow of hatred (18 base damage) and just upgraded to glass arrows and I 1-2 shot pretty most of the default mobs, but anything scaled to my level takes 1 sneak shot and then like 3-4 follow ups, but I can jump over humans heads so I got really good at 180 trick shots lol.

[Sanddrinker]

Yeah same issue. Often get only 1x on the opening shot with the bow even though the eye is closed and they're at a long distance.
But it's an Elder Scrolls game, it's going to have bugs and that's just how it is. It doesn't bother me.

It should bother you.

Even the original release didn't have this many game or character breaking bugs.

I'm wearing full daedric heavy armor and I can sneak up on everything no issues but I do have maxed out stealth and heavy armor, 35% chameleon, 99% of the time in melee range I get x3, I do not use bow at all.

I remember the original having a lot of bugs, can't say I've personally seen as many in the remaster. A few annoyances, the occasional game crash, but nothing that's stopped progress.
In the original I remember having quests get so broken that the only way to proceed was to reload an old save. Haven't had that happen to me in the remaster (yet).
