Stealth in ESO: Broken or what?

[TyJW92295]

Is me, or is stealth super ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up in ESO? I can't tell if I'm just that bad, or it's normal for an NPC to just randomly see me from behind...ALL THE TIME? Is it normal for me to just randomly pop out of stealth, or for people to just randomly be alerted to my presence when I'm about 60-80 yards away? Why does stealth suck so bad in this game compared to other Elder Scrolls games? I used to be able to sneak around (and murder) NPC's from far away, sneak behind walls, barrels, and other normally not seethough objects, but for whatever reason in ESO, the NPC detection is that of an X-ray machine. What is going on? Do I just not know how to sneak in ESO, or is this mechanic so broken that it's virtually useless for ESO?

I have a "everything and anything can pull me out of stealth" problem when im trying to be sneaky on my dark elf magblade. Despite having all medium armor on (with most of the passives enabled), despite having maxed out legerdemain skill line with every passive enabled, despite having 2 stealthy armor sets that decrease detection radius, whenever i try to sneak about on this character, i constantly get pulled out of stealth so that pickpocketing or opening lockboxes becomes increasingly frustrating. So now i have to give up being a stealty magblade thief on that char becuse for the life of me i can not figure out why she is having such a hard time sneaking and staying stealthed.

I do not have this problem on my stamblade khajit (similar setup and passives as magblade) nor on my stamblade woodelf (also similar setup and passives).

And what i really really despize in eso is the incomprehensible/half-@ssed/totally broken system of chance when pickpocketing or forcing open the locks on lockboxes or even on regular chests.
If i had a cent for every time the game tells me i have a 85% chance on forcing a lock or 85% chance on pickpocket and yet both fail multiple times, i would be very very rich indeed. Ugh.

I'd just did the the 1st assassinate mission for Dark Brotherhood on a breton templar. Racked over 3k bounty. Not from being caught while sneaking, but from using blade of woe.

Without stealth passive, when I use blade of woe, halfway through the kill animation I would go from hidden to detected because the proximity was too close.

In short, successful blade of woe kills are sometimes failures giving you bounties instead without stealth passives. This one is more unreasonable.

With Blade Of Woe, you do not have to be so close to the npc you are trying to eliminate, but you do need to be behind them or behind and a bit to the side, and when you are further away the BoW prompt will come up and when you activate it, it will do the knife throw animation and kill the npc, instead of stabbing them on the body directly. The most important thing is that you should do this when there are no witnesses around to see the killing.

I love it when the stealth kill move glitches out and does nothing.

A Fame/Infamy system would be fantastic.. where if you performed too many infamous acts, you could have a bounty taken out on your head and have "famed" characters chasing you around trying to kill you.

If Im not mistaken, this feature was present in Fallout 3. If you did too much heinous acts, a group of vigilantes hunted you.

Be careful tho, i think you have to be 100% hidden when deactivating traps or they literally blow up uin your face
