When the A.I can't reach you, it immediately becomes 2x better. It will dodge, run for cover and swap weapons appropriately. I personally find it quite odd.

They do. I've been decapitated many a time.

If the enemy is ranged, they will take cover.

If it's a melee enemy, it doesn't make any sense for them to take cover. They'll never be able to kill you that way. So they rush you.

Makes sense to me. My spellsword svcks at melee combat. If he can't keep them off his back, he gets [censored].

It seems the path finding could be a lot better then it is, but its probably hard to exactly get around the huge amount of stuff they could get stuck on so its probably not that easy. I actually like sneak the way it is I mean if I have 96 sneak I would expect after I spent 20 hours mastering sneak that I can hide in nearly plain sight. The point of any rpg is to feel powerful after you invest enough time to get better at say sneaking. I dont really way enemies finding me with my sneak maxed all the time then whats the point of getting max sneak?

Yes it does need serious fixing "idiotic path finding" see my other post in - What's the most annoying thing in Skyrim thread

They don't get all available player perks. Most heavy armor wearing enemies for example, have 0 skills, 0 armor perks, etc and thus have almost no defense.

Oh real???

Crap. My character svckS then.
