I'm sorry. I have to bring this back to life. Larian. Sneak sucks. It's garbage.
This time, I wasn't even sneaking, but because I was outside their sight cones and they weren't facing me, they didn't trigger combat. I had to literally take my character after doing one round of hits from everyone, and I had to make him walk into the sight cone of the closest enemy to initiate combat just so I could play fair.
So, to be clear, I shot once with each of my four people, hitting enemies outside of sight cones with their backs to me. Each time I hit, my characters made auto-stealth checks and succeeded, EVEN THOUGH THEY WEREN'T CROUCHING IN STEALTH MODE. Because they succeeded in stealth EVEN THOUGH THEY WEREN'T IN STEALTH MODE, they didn't trigger combat. The enemies didn't turn around and face me or search for me or nothing. They just didn't do anything but stand there or do their typical routines.
That's GOT to go. That's terrible terrible game mechanics. We absolutely need a better stealth system before this game is fully released.
