Why is there a forced stealth section?

[grinkdaboy]

they're awful outside of stealth games and the "Legend of the Not-so-hidden Temple" is no exception, where you have to guide 2 npcs and have them not manage to fuck up and pull aggro and kill you

I don't remember having any trouble there at all, in fact I think the npcs were always invisible even if they got seen.

They weren't at least when I did it. I got all the way to the first door without being spotted but my NPC's decided to have a mild pathing issue and ended up dragging a mob that had it's back turned right towards me. That's about the only complaint I have with the section though. After that first part it went smoothly and I generally enjoyed the change of pace. I wouldn't want to see it become another 'zoom in and find the thing' quest like SE seems to have taken a liking to recently, but for a one and done section I'll take some mild jank.

I barely registered the temple as a "stealth sequence". I don't know if I got lucky, but I prettymuch walked straight through thinking "was that all?"

I think we attracted enemies in the final room, but just fought and killed them normally.

For me the NPCs just ran through without worry or care. They even ported through a wall across a guard's path and did that weird positional updating moon-walk to me at the exit at one point.

Maybe it's some kind of lag issue? My team stuck on my butt, and I didn't have any problems. They even stayed with me when I popped sprint.

Almet or Y'shtola shout for you to stop and wait a moment. After their brief dialog, they continue to follow you. If you don't wait, they have to catch up to you and well you know what happens, huh? All you had to do was briefly pay attention and everything would proceed smoothly, but it's easier to blame npcs while rolling your face across the keyboard.

[Krotoan]

wait.. when was this? I finished MSQ and don't remember a stealth section. I suck at stealth games and hate having to be sneaky.. when was this? In the temple in the greatwood? The part where you just don't walk in front of the statues? I honestly don't remember.


EDIT: Oh.. the statues patrolling? .. I didn't even pay attention to the NPCs. I didn't know they set off the statues.

[MsQi]

Why isn't there more?
