NPC line of sight

Just needed to rant a bit. NPCs do not care about line of sight. The number of times I've run around corners to tactically force mobs into piling up, only to get shot THROUGH the wall, is just unreal. Please stop, it's really dumb.

    Oh god, so much this. Around the corner, behind the wall, 1 km away. The part of game that decides if you should be hit or not with almost no corellation to what you actually see is so annoying.
    None of us is getting any younger, you know.
    Each event is preceded by Prophecy. But without the hero, there is no Event. > https://nairinhe.github.io/
    ...All true adventures include some deep bruises and frantic screaming, right?

    PC EU - EP
    Annarath - Dunmer stamblade. Hero, thief, murderer. Of House Dres by blood, raised by Khajiit and Argonian people.
    Norra Storfjallet - a mountain range Nord frostwarden. Must. Protect. Everyone. Found out that world is bigger than dad's farm.
    Soothing-Paws Habasi - Khajiit healplar. Grandma you wish you had, but Annarath ain't sharing.
    Serpentina Scintilla - Imperial magcro. If she said she's from Tharn family, even Tharn family would believe.
    Gentle-Like-Snow - Argonian healblade. When she grows up she wants to be like Fennorian, but vampirism is a questionable first step.
    Nuada Vendresi - Dunmer fire DK. Annarath's brother. Our mistakes shape us in most peculiar ways.

    Yeah, it happens. Though the NPCs DO in fact move to re-establish LoS... a lot of attacks get launched while they still have LoS, and then travel through obstacles when you move to break LoS... and hit you anyhow.

    And occasionally the LoS calculations seem completely broken and the NPCs just keep shooting through cover...

    But that aside, more often then not LoS actually does indeed work for NPCs, and you can dash around a corner or through a doorway to make them pile up.

    As the space-shost says...

    Well, that's usually what I plan to do, only for the NPC to stay behind the obstacle or around corner and keep shooting me. Thanks game.
