after Bethesda let media outlets in for the 3 hour preview and came across one gamer site that spoke on the sneaking.

As you know, they've added stealth kill animations, and sneaking attacks still do 2X dmg, but what is cool that they've added on to is the amount of noise you make when sneaking.

Missed arrows hitting walls beside/behind targets no longer go unnoticed and the NPC will act accordingly to realizing someone is shooting arrows at them. The person describing this playthrough made mention of killing a guard that was at a door entrance inside a cave and upon entering the room he was guarding, overhearing the 2 bandits inside:

-"What was that sound? Didn't we put a guard at the door?"
-"Yea... we did."

I thought that was pretty cool.
