Summary0006919: AI controlled creatures do not react to being sneak attacked.
DescriptionBasically, the summary. If you're sneaking and you attack someone, they don't react. Sometimes they even pull out stuck-in weapons but still don't notice that you're there.
Steps To ReproduceEasy way:
1.) Open up the arena
2.) Spawn in 2 humans
3.) Control one, sneak, attack the other one

Hard way:
1.) Roll up a new adventurer (preferrably with ambusher)
2.) Find a suitable target
3.) Sneak, attack, repeat
Additional InformationThis might be related to a bug I've heard about where NPCs don't change direction in combat.

This might also be related to the AI being overly passive, like how peasants watch you butcher their friends and neither retaliate or flee.
