I'm going to start playing a secondary character that has a lot of skill with traps. I've noticed that the engine does not allow you to set traps and remain in stealth mode.

1. Can this be changed?

2. Should this be changed?

Ok bye.

I dunno if it can be changed, as I'm not really a programmer dude.

From a realistic perspective, I think it would be kind of hard to set up a trap while remaining largely unseen. Possible, certainly, but very difficult. Of course, this argument really depends on how difficult you think it is to set up the trap.

From a gameplay perspective, it appears from recent posts that Howland wants to limit the versatility of traps, as he feels they are currently overpowered. So, I doubt you'll get the ability to set up traps in stealth mode.

You are actually really lucky that the engine waits til you are finished setting the trap to make you visible. Imagine how it would be if you became visibile once you began the trap setting process. :D

I'm pretty sure I heard this can't be changed. At least not without hak.
