Meditation and Hiding : something does not add up ??

[Kratos Aurion]

I honestly do not see why one could not meditate silently while being camouflaging.......

Because while you're hiding, you're actively engaged in the state of staying "hidden." When you meditate, you break your concentration from hiding to performing a completely differen't task (focusing on yourself), thus revealing you.

Honestly if you want my general opinion, no skills aside from stealth, ninjitsu, and focus as an exception should be able to be used actively while still staying hidden. I know there are some skills that allow you to use them while being hidden, and that's just the way the developers produced the game, whether it was intended or not.

For once (and probably the only time ever) I agree with popps. Certain skills: meditation, actively evaluating intelligence, forensic evaluation, item evaluation, arms lore, etc. should not break the state of being hidden. It just doesn't make much sense.

Ugh, I think Meditation is the only skill that you listed that breaks hiding, lmao.

Not to be pedantic here, but that was exactly my point. Was I being too obtuse in associating skills that shouldn't break the hidden state?

I think the issue is that you redundantly listed skills that don't break hiding as skills that shouldn't break hiding, while groups with a skill that does break hiding.

Alt: Now if you didn't put meditation in the same grouping, a skill that does break hiding, with all the other skills that don't break hiding, it would have made sense.
