[QUOTE="Uller, post: 6865529, member: 413"] So someone is firing arrows at you and you are standing beside a bush. You are claiming it would be silly to move behind the bush to break the enemy's line of site and attempt to make them lose sight of you to make you harder to target and to possibly be able to target an enemy that is unaware of exactly where you are or what you are doing? Umm...okay. I disagree. I think not attempting to hide or otherwise cause your foes to lose track of you or your allies if only for a moment would be silly. Edit: in fact....while I dont claim to have ever been in real combat...at least not the sort depicted in action movies or in games...I served in the infantry and have been on the battlefield (real battlefield...not training) when shots have been fired. In each case my reaction and those of the soldiers around me (because this is what we were trained to do) was to seek cover then manuever to be able to return fire or fire at any threats in our sector, preferably without being seen. Is that not "hiding"? In combat? If so why would this not be "a thing" in a game that depicts combat? If not, then what is it? [/QUOTE]
