Small but still very annoying thing when breaking into a house

Every time you break in to someone's house, sneaking, not being detected, the NPC's both talk to you and turn to face you like they knew you were there. Acting like they just caught you in there, but no bounty given and everything works like it should.
Could this be fixed please? It's really annoying and immersion breaking when you stealthily enter a house, sneak to the first floor and someone screams "You should leave!" while still undetected

✭✭✭✭✭What they should do is a complete pass of owned locations and update them with the new mechanics introduced several DLCs ago. Flag interiors as ‘you are now tresspassing’ and fix the insta-detect from NPCs living there.3 -

✭✭They comment on the invisible burglars, but not on the bodies of their loved ones that were killed while they were in the next room...4 -

Great idea, it works a lot better in those locations. Especially since the insta-detect is not at detection at all.EU PC0 -

Even better - I constantly hear NPCs react to my nightblade, who is ALWAYS CLOAKED in such areas and therefore 100% invisibleEvery time you break in to someone's house, sneaking, not being detected, the NPC's both talk to you and turn to face you like they knew you were there.

✭✭✭✭✭They aren't talking to YOU. They heard a noise and they're talking to the ghost or skeever or spider that they think is lurking in their house! I've fought mudcrabs more fearsome than me!2 -
Amphithoe✭✭✭✭✭Do you guys not shout out warnings to possible hidden burglars when at home, just to be sure? You can never be too careful!Edited by Amphithoe on September 29, 2019 8:23PMGuildmaster: School of Julianos6 -

✭I'm not much of a complainer normally and I could overlook this but it would be great if it was fixed after more serious issues are fixed.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Sneak does not mean you are invisible or not seen. It means your actions are not noticed by the NPCs.
So, they see you standing there by the table, but they don't see you swipe the cheese.Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

Ufretin✭✭✭✭✭It's not only immersion breaking. It also makes pickpocketing or stabbing much harder as npcs constantly turn around to shake fists at the invisible intruder.2 -

Ehhhhhh not buying it.
“You shouldnt be here”
They turn around 20 secs later and continue cooking or whatever.
That’s not how it works. Either I get in unnoticed or I don’t lol. Not that they are just tolerating a stranger in their locked house until they catch me actually swiping their stuff.#FiteForYourRite Bosmer = Stealth

Fair enough, it's not that the whole "crouch stealth system" makes a whole lot of sense to begin with.Sneak does not mean you are invisible or not seen. It means your actions are not noticed by the NPCs.
So, they see you standing there by the table, but they don't see you swipe the cheese.
But how do you explain it away on Nightblades - who are, in fact, completely invisible when cloaked?
Or any character using an invisibility potion, for that matter.0 -

What's that information based on? If I'm wanted by a guard I can stand in front of him and not being caught if I'm sneaking. That seems to be very contradictory of what you said.EU PC0
