I agree, it would be nice if guards actually had to spot you outside or notice something wrong about you like not having a collar.

On a side note I'm kinda hoping the tension system will also get a little tweak. If you oneshot someone with snipe (from stealth), when noone else is looking, other NPCs do not notice right away, but after a while they do notice and start searching for the killer.
At first however I thought this was because they spotted the dead body. But when I started examining this system by killing someone in the kichen when no one saw or was around, and then teleported the body all the way to the beach behind a rock to hide it the result was the same. At first other NPCs in the kitchen didn't react, but then after a minute or so they all suddenly started screaming about murder.
It would be really cool and a fun mechanic if they didn't notice nless they actually saw the act or any evidence of the act. Perhaps after a while they could raise tension level because they notice someone has gone missing, but without drawing the conclusion that there is a murderer on the lose.
