Viewable Sight Range

As the title suggests, give the player the ability to see which way a person or animal is facing.

I can only think of two ways to accomplish this, by showing the direction when you [l]ook at the person or animal, or make it so that the graphic shows which direction the entity is facing.

Either way this would help in situation that requires the ability sneak, what’s’ the point of sneaking if you can’t tell if a person is facing toward you?

Vision arcs are visible when you're sneaking.

Please don't shitpost, it lowers the quality of discourse
Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.

As far as I can tell switching to sneak mode dosent take up any time at all, so that in the midst of combat you can briefly go to sneak mode to see which way people are facing and then exit it without giving enemies a chance to strike.
