Breaking Stealth Upon...

[bushwhacker2k]

This is a bit of a continuation of the last suggestion thread I made, but it seemed relevant and I wasn't sure if I should make a new thread or continue in the old thread so here I am.

I notice stealth gets broken upon several activities, undoubtably some of which I'm not even aware yet.

This includes:

• Getting spotted by a hostile enemy, which results in combat
• Using a bandage
• Using a computer (dialogue-esque)
• Initiating dialogue

The first makes sense, but 2 and 3 kinda bother me. I don't think they should necessarily break stealth.

As for 4, I was thinking that maybe only the person you're talking to notices you, unless for whatever reason (combat) attention would be drawn to you. Thoughts?

I would write a Bug for the bandage and computer one. The other two sound like they are by design.

Honestly, why would using a bandage cause you to un-stealth?

[Styg]

All of these are intentional.

I might reconsider number 2, but I think requiring the player to move away to a secure location before patching up isn't unreasonable.

Honestly, using consoles should be doable while stealthy.
Hacking a computer, not so much.
Bandages are a dedicated effort that requires concentration, you don't just activate "bandage" while you sneak around.

But you can bandage quietly. It's not an activity that would attract attention more than, say, walking.

Bandaging is a painful procedure sometimes, you know. You can moan.
