I was crouched and even if I were standing they still shouldn't be able to see me through a ceiling.

Agreed, that's stupid.

The bigger question is why the forget are you robbing house plants from an Inn?

[Lørd Tøny]

Its not a glitch.

Cool so it's not a glitch. This just proves it was stuffty scripting at fault here.

While line-of-sight was taken into account when sneaking in Fallout 3 and NV, Oblivion was an earlier game so Bethesda failed to take it into account when sneaking. Very detrimental to a successful theft in a populated area.

just roleplay yourself as the marked man, bearing a curse from birth! the curse makes people able to sense your presence and actions, revealing what you try to hide. this is the burden you bear, reminding you to keep a straight path of purity.

They had Marrowind and a bunch of other Elder Scrolls games to get it right

I agree, they should have seen it sooner. But I'm almost certain it will be a factor in Skyrim's stealth system.

Not really, different engines.

Still should have occurred to them.

I hate not being able to sneak behind a wide pillar to escape the view of a patrolling guard.

Even so, half the time wherever I'm sneaking is shadowy enough to effectively hide without leaving the line of sight of my potential victims.

[Littledude]

thing is, I've alway been able to hide around corners without being seen.
I don't know what is wrong for you guys.

that's not even hard to make into the game. just do a raycast search from the guard to the player, use trig to see if it is within peripheral vision, and check if anything is in the way. there could be a light detector too to see how dark it and factor that in.

It's probably because almost every corner in the game is shrouded in shadow.

I'm not saying it was unacceptable for them not to have been able to, I am saying it's unacceptable for that not to have occured to them.

It doesnt matter, sneaking wasnt a big deal in those games anyway.

he looks half orc half bos/dunmer

It is going to be a very hard decision to choose which race to play.
