Fallout 3 Bug: Hostile NPCs appear behind your back.

[AlexShipin]

Hello. Sorry to write here, but I have a hopeless problem, the solution to which I can not find anywhere. When a hostile NPC notices me and runs
towards me, at the moment when I turn away from him and start running
away, this NPC appears immediately behind me. As if teleporting behind
my back. It doesn't matter how far away he was from me, when I turn away
and run away, he teleports behind me. Help please, what can fix this? I
play on Win 7.
I've tried both with and without mods. Same. I noticed that this happens more often when you are in the water. The enemy was on the shore, and
here he is already swimming behind you. I also noticed that the NPC
teleports when there is an obstacle in front of him that he cannot
overcome. I found a video, turn it on from 9:35 minutes and you will
clearly see how this happens:

 

I only noticed that this happens with super mutants and centaurs. If I notice that this happens to someone else, I will say right away.

 

Corresponded with hairylegs222, he answered this: "It sounds like a game mechanic. I cannot fix engine bugs anyways. Engine bugs Stewie can fix over at command extender.

I never turn my back on enemies. They're always in sight. Dodge left or right, and back pedal while they're in sight."

 

Has anyone encountered such a problem? Maybe there is a solution? A very unpleasant bug.

The teleporting past obstacles is definitely a game mechanic. It's to prevent you from cheesing the poor pathing of NPCs.

 

The catching up to you may also be a game mechanic. The game definitely tries to update things when you aren't looking at them.

So it's okay? Is that how it should be? If so, then this is strange. Because in other games, and even more so in the games of Bethesda, I have not seen this.
