Shadowcloak + sneak annoyance

DrMedBorn · April 15

I find it very annoying when I use shadowcloak and if I want to blade someone or pickpocket I always have to press the sneak button too and not only that, it often makes npc spot me when I do this (while I am still invisible). Since shadowcloak makes you invisible anyway, why we have to sneak too?

I am pretty new so am I missing something here or should this be fixed?

Because that would lock your stamina recovery for no reason, which a lot of cloak users wouldn't like.
Or, if the sneak flag is given at all times while cloaked, you could use sneak attacks on demand, which a lot of victims wouldn't like.
Unless they rework those systems, letting the players manage it on their own is the best tradeoff.
