So far, so logical… from a gameplay point of view at least.īut the enemies in Fallout 4 are also incredibly stupid, forgetful, and oblivious to their environments. Enemies can also hear gunfire and head in that direction, and any enemy you shoot but don't kill will investigate where the shot came from.
Enemies can see you, but they're more sensitive to movement than to what's actually there-meaning that, if you're spotted, standing still often saves you. If you wanted to, you could slice off each of their heads one-by-one, crouching in-between each swipe of your sword, and no-one would notice the bloody carnage taking place.Ĭrouching is everything in Fallout 4 too: if you crouch, you're far less likely to be spotted, and you get an indicator of how aware of your presence nearby enemies are.
In Skyrim you can walk into a room, steal everything from everyone present-including their clothes-and walk out without a single eyebrow being raised. For better or worse, you know what to expect from stealth in a Bethesda game.
