Sneak becomes harder ?

[Proximity]

Is it me or the sneaking tactic is become a lot harder. They noticed me from miles, even though I have 25% sneak bonus

Are you wearing heavy armour in broad daylight?

Sneak is OP, I can sneak kill in broad daylight from the front up close with a dagger. Provided with max sneak, perks, enchant light armor and muffle.

Only the gauntlet. It shouldnt be detected that easily though. And no not in broad daylight. Small step they detected me suddenly

I hope you don't have the same bug I had back in the day when Skyrim was new. I think it was sneak bonus enchantment which actually made sneaking harder. It was supposedly fixed in a patch, but I can't recall if it was official or unoffial one. Should probably Google it.

No reports about it yet. But i just had problems with it

[Ishan451]

Did you upgrade it with Perks? The first dot has multiple levels. (I mean i have a mage with some sneak, to avoid some combat if i don't want it - and i have no issues sneaking up to people)

Actually... I have 25% from nightstalker footstep. But I did create a character with 50%, + muffled, still detected

You better read about sneak mechanics in the wiki and start from there. So many variables are calculated to determine your sneak against opponents.

Sometimes no matter how high your sneak skill is you always fail against a scripted event. Such as a guard will trigger a conversation if you're near him, but only the first time. If you go far enough and come back you'll be able to sneak again successfully.

I'm sneaking at very start
Near the barrow on riverwood
If my enemies level getting higher, it should be like that. But It's on very start, and I just reach on lv 3

Yeah if you are wearing armor you are easier to detect.So the games working fine.

[Trickle]

Buy the muffle spell and use it. It should make a noticeable difference when you move in armour.

You should also definitely notice an improvement if you swap in 40%+ worth of sneak rings/necklaces/potions.

If you try and sneak at the beginning of the game with <=20 skill. No perks. No %+ and no muffle then yes, you will always fail at sneaking at anything other than shooting a blind Dragur from 500 yards away.

yeah. It is not harder. Maybe easier? I have been able to do the same thing as this gamer, with the right perks. Perks make the difference. Concentrate on the sneak perks and you will see some improvements. And i am using ight armor or even regular clothing. That seems to make a difference, as someone above said.

Level 3!? I thought the OP has high sneak... :/

Wearing ANY HEAVY armour makes you very easy to detect. Even wearing light armour is risky if you don't sneak slowly and stay in the dark.

Also one perk in sneak will not make a big difference

This.^^ An that goes for single pieces.Like if you just have on a helm or just boots with muffle.They can still in a way detect you.Muffle on boots is much better but still not perfect.It just takes longer to become invisible.

Pretty sure I did said about having muffled movements. And have 50% of of stealth.

But... I have a question. Does difficulties affect the game's formula? If this fact is correct, I did try something else. Messing with difficulties. I changed from adept to apprentice, and change it back again. Somehow they having a hard time finding me.
