I disagree, slightly. If you remove yourself from the npc's line of sight (either by a lot of running or some tricky manoeuvring) then there's no reason why one shouldn't be able to hide again. Now that the guard is alerted to your presence it might make remaining hidden a lot harder, but it's not to say it shouldn't be possible. That's how it works in real life. Guards that know exactly what you've done and exactly where you are even though they can't see you is NOT how it is in real life.
The 100% chameleon was always cheezy in Morrowind and, unfortunately, it looks like it might be the only practical way of stealthy combat in Oblivion. But i'm looking forward to finding my own ways.
I still haven't played it yet, but i've less than 6 hours to wait. This has been the longest week in memory... [/QUOTE]Well you can remain undetected even after attacking once, but it depend a lot on the embient lights and you need high skill.
I can go in a very dark corner, stand still, shot an arrow, the mob will freak out and look around but won't see me. Once he settle down I shoot again... The problem is that this work only in perfect conditions, a mob 15 or so yards away, a perfectly shadowed corner, high enough skill. And even then, the ennemy is not stupid and eventually he'll run in the direction the arrows came from and now since he's closer and "suspicious" he'll more than likely spot you.
Also, if there are two mobs, the second one seem to have an easier time of it and will come in the direction the arrow came from almost always at the first shot, if he saw it.
I even once killed a zombie by standing in stealth behind it and wacking it with my sword, zombies are not the most preceptive creatures.
