goggles, expanded

How about having two different ‘classes’ of goggles.
IR goggles, such as we have now, nerf hide, letting you USUALLY detect someone who is stationary in the room, but under the effect of ‘hide’ or ‘camoflage’

Motion-sensing goggles would, conversely, nerf sneak, letting you see someone moving in and out of the room even if they have sneak turned on.
Of course, only one type of goggle could be worn at any one time.

ZE GOGGLES! THEY DO NOTHING!

I realize that this idea is so someone can recognize when someone is entering a room, leaving a room, and/or approaching someone while sneaked, but the command "watch <victim>" already functions in this manner. There would be little point to having sneak if everyone was using these kinds of goggles. At least hide and camo still have somewhat of a point even with goggles.

I think if you want sneak awareness, have it like hide awareness where whether or not you can detect someone (without goggles) depend on your Intelligence (I think this is what it is based off of).

Kirash is right. it would destroy sneak. Just keep up with detection beacons and watch.

Hide has very very very little efficient use without sneak. Destroy sneak, and you pretty much destroy hide. You wouldn’t need infrared goggles then. Everyone would just be using motion detection goggles. As I said before, the current balancing between detecting people and being undetected is fine as it is.
