There was an interesting mechanic in fearing, and I am not sure whether it was caused by a relatively low number of paths in the zone or not. When you kept to a camp, all of the mobs tended to run along the same paths while feared. They also always went the same direction along those paths, even if it took them back straight at you. There were many times I would see a creature run straight away for a bit, then turn around 180 and head back.
In my experience, if you fear any mob in a general area, they will always run the same exact path, the same exact way. Doesn't matter what side of them you are on when the fear hits.
Also, it does appear that the paths all have a bias in them for fear, going roughly clockwise within the zone.
<shrug> Not sure if any of that helped at all.
