Sneak/Stealth

[MTBear]

Sorry if this has been answered, but I have limited time to look through all the topics, but ultimately is a stealth/sneak based build even doable? or worth it? I enjoy that type of gameplay and would love to be able to ninja around. Thank you.

If you have a good hard hitting weapon, yes.

I'll keep from saying more to avoid spoilers on how to do it.

this is all I really wanted to know, spoilers don't bother me, I mainly wanted to know if it was worth it and possible, I love stealth games and builds. So this makes me happy.

Thank you!

while you definitely can (and should) do sneaky things, i should point out that you can't stealth the entire game. there will be times when you get into up front open fights, for various reasons.

I had a feeling that might happen at some point, just not sure what would help in that case. like not sure about the class etc but I have an idea.

Yeah, it's a little odd grinding up the stealth and weapon skills at the moment though and stealth isn't really useful until several levels in, don't think you can just sneak attack Ralof in the intro for 15 minutes, but yes, by the end of the existing content you will be backstabbing like crazy.

If your willing to do some prep work you can do a mostly stealth run. For non-stealthable stuff you can lean on traps. Setting up a fall back with a mess of traps will take care of just about everything.

I appreciate everyone's reply, this is very useful and helpful and I am most def looking forward to what I can do in this game and more to come from it as it is very fun.
