Catching an enemy's attention

[Whitewolf99]

Yeah this kind of annoyed me a bit in game. I try to play stealthy characters and always try to go undetected, with no shoes, armor, items and in complete darkness. try and sneak past an enemy 10 feet away annd... "There you are! *Sword to the face*" Gah! Is there a mod that lets you fire an arrow so the enemies will walk over and go check that instead of waiting in front of a stairway for 24 hours just because they thought the wind, underground, made a noise?

Check out Thieve's Arsenal. It won't only solve this problem, but many others as well.

What superdeluxe said, but I have one thing to add. You need to work on your Sneak skill. Once you get to Journeyman level in that skill you can darn near hide in plain sight. I've done it, absolutely certain that I was going to be seen and I could swear my intended victim was looking right at me at one point, but he just turned away and got an arrow between his shoulder blades for his lack of perception. Practice Sneak every chance you get, and if you're really playing a stealth-based character to the hilt it shouldn't take you long at all to be able to rely upon almost Ninja-like invisibility without using any magic at all, as long as you play smart and take advantage of cover and shadows. At least I think shadows help. I could be wrong about that, but I generally try to keep to shadows whenever I can.

Try the mod called Put it in its place - enhanced grabbing. It has the sound system that if you throw something away from you the npc who hears it will investigate! I recommend the mod since it makes the grabbing and stealing so much more fun! =)
