What is the sneak detection equation in Fallout: New Vegas?
What factors (other than perks and hiding behind things) determines if you are detected while sneaking?
I have read a lot of conflicting information about if/how these things affect sneak detection:
- armor weight
- inventory weight
- weapon weight
Is there a definitive source of information to solve this problem?
