Added DiffLines:
* OptionalStealth: The way stealth works can make it difficult to do a legitimate "never spotted" playthrough. Stealth attacks are ''loud'', enemies only travel in packs, and alerting one enemy usually means alerting them all. Worse, walking by enemies deprives you of important experience, which can make the latter half of the game much harder than it is supposed to be. Thus, stealth is less about "carefully taking out all the enemies, one by one" and more "positioning oneself into a good vantage point and then letting loose".
