[edit] Going invisible

I've seemed to find that there are some tricks to going invisible, but I'm wondering whether that could be limited to my version (GOTY PC), or simply be my misunderstanding of part of the game. So I want to see what other players have found. In particular, if you go invisible while being observed by an NPC and/or creature, it may have the effect of immediately ending the spell. You are seen going invisible, so the illusion is immediately broken. That's not the same as the spell failing, which can happen for other reasons. However, you may be in the presence of someone else and successfully cast invisibility. In that case, the person was simply not looking at you. The only way to tell for sure is to be in Stealth mode when going invisible. If your Stealth mode is working correctly, then no one is looking at you. Can anyone else confirm that this is basically right? Fourtoes 13:05, 11 December 2007 (EST)

Well, I'm not sure about this. I have gone invisible in the middle of battles and your enemies would immediately put down their weapons and walk away, giving you a chance to strike them on their backs. --DrPhoton 03:09, 12 December 2007 (EST)

[edit] Stealth can avoid ending invisibility?

I believe I've found that a sufficiently Stealthy character can succeed at certain actions while invisible without ending the spell. In particular, there is a chance of succeeding in a pickpocketing attempt in which the NPC's inventory is accessed but nothing is actually taken, without ending the spell. There may also be a chance of successful lock picking (but not opening the item) while in stealth without ending invisibility. Has anyone else found this to be right?
