I just think it’s a neat little addition that gives you that, “ahhhhhhhhh, I remember that!” feeling.

This time around, stealth is “locked” behind the Stealth skill. You can still sneak around without it, but it’s basically like having your sneak at 1 in Elder Scrolls. People will notice you immediately, and you won’t have a “hidden/detected” indicator unless you invest in the skill at all.
