Well if it is going to remain wrong atleast put limits on it. I dont think a mob seeing you through 6 walls much less one is realistic.
Also mobs on other floors should not see you through the floors.

There either has to be or not be a LOS check on acquire, everything that we've seen indicates there is a range, but no Line of Sight check. intensity of perception (i.e. how thick is the wall or how many) is not something that I can view as being probable; in fact not checking line of sight at all is a very simple mechanic and holds true to the general simplicity of the AI in this era.

I myself, was surprised when I first saw the many screenshots and reports which illustrate this, but my own recollection of this in era surfaced after seeing it, as well as others.

There is still quite a bit of work that does need to be done on AI; particularly related to this topic is how they follow you.
