I see it exactly the same. When you are in front of a NPC dude and can see him = he can see you. Once you get into ranged weapon attack distance or shoot at him = he attacks. Some savage factions should attack on sight, they want to eat you or rob you.
You are behind NPC dude - chance he’s going to hear you, crouching/sneaking increases the chance of passing undetected (distance from NPC matters), the heavier the armor the bigger the chance we will get spotted (same for thrall), mount is following us = we are auto heard/spotted by enemy.
Sneak - once you crouch you get % chance of not being discovered based on your Agility vs distance from enemy and type of enemy. Night time is your ally and you get buff to sneaking.
All animals - super-senses, predators can notice any movement, smell their prey from dozen miles, they have very good hearing and can hear frequencies we don’t. No sneaking around animals, they are going to notice you from far away. Night does not help you anymore, they get the buff as they some can see in darkness.
And now some sexual fantasies:
PvP - crouching/sneaking player becomes invisible when he is far away. Some kind of hidden test of his agility vs other player’s chance to detect him happens every second or so. The closer he gets the easier is to detect him and higher the chance of him being spotted and “unstealthed”.
Guard dogs - start barking once another player is in the area, they can find and attack him even when he’s “stealthed” - they unstealth enemy player.
Severely injured enemies - flee for their lives, try to hide, surrender etc.
