Betty Netch detecting enemy player in stealth???

felicityslaughter · September 2018

I was dueling my friend and when I went into stealth I was still fully detected no matter if I used line of sight, or no matter how far away I got from them I couldn't go into sneak. We decided to test it out and found that I could go completely hidden until they took their Betty Netch pet out. Is this a bug or a feature? And if it's a feature then it sucks. (This was on PC/NA)

In my humble opinion, no pet -- a Sorcerer's Daedric familiars are not "pets" -- should ever reveal any character who is stealthed. So, the the situation you describe certainly appears to be a bug.

However, note that a NPC, or a MoB such as a Netch, does have a radius of detection. So they will detect any sleathed character within it. This includes numerous non-hostile creatures, but they usually have only a short detection radius and usually tend to wander away from any stealthed character that they detect. In contrast, however, hostile NPCs and MoBs that detect a stealthed character are likely to attack.
