EE sneaking seems to be the same, that was one thing I modded in, npc's with a 360 view. If you are in a room with a person, no physical barriers. Who steals from someone like that? Even if you missed them taking it you would quickly start to notice missing things and wonder why this person in here with me is always trying to flank me. So 360 just took that out and imo was realistic enough.
