I'd use the good, old, and effective way I've used in countless games. Start, pick off any guards with ranged weapons or allies. Second, wait for idiot target to trap themselves. Finally, reorganize their face with whatever weapon you want. Priceless!

I don't really have too much of a preference... but my last one was to get him alone in a hotel room and then chop him to pieces with a meat cleaver.

Depends on the game and the weapons I'm charged with. If its swords, I like to get in close, in front of them if I can, and just run a sword through their face.

if its with guns... well... something but with a shotgun.

It goes to my rules of life I follow in real life. I want the last thing my enemy sees to be my face with a look of frim determined success, so when I send them to hell, they can tell everyone exactly who did it.

Taking em down CQB with a shotgun and revolver. In fantasy games/medieval I go with a bow and dagger. Maybe an axe if I'm feeling brutal.

I blow down the doors to my targets place of residence. As one of the guard comes around the corner to see what just happened, a slug catches him right in the chest bringing him down. When I suspect all the guards have gathered in the entryway, I toss in a tear gas grenade. Making my way round back, I climb to the second story and enter through a window. As I hear the guards coughing downstairs, I open the door with my revolver in hand and eliminate them with the accuracy of a sniper rifle blessed by Athena. Then I enter my targets room. Not seeing him, I take out my knife. He rushes out of the closet hoping to take me by surprise. The knife catches in his neck.

And that is how I would like to play Deus Ex.

Simple an Umbrella gun that shoots a poison ball into their legs and kills them within hours. All I have to do is accidentally poke them while standing next to them and apologize and walk away like any normal person would. Hey if it works for the KGB why not me?

Poison dart from across the square into the guard next to the target, let his buddy take him out as he flails about.

Alternatively, send him a pizza, compliments of either his command station or a "free pizza for guardsmen and targets officials" campaign. Then, as he's eating, watch as he discovers that it has pork sausage on it, despite his adamantly following the rules of eating only kosher, then continuously remind him of it, guilting him into his own suicide!

...Then eat the rest of the pizza, because, hey, free pizza.

if possible? cut them in half from the groin to the head with a scythe (cuz i likez mez soemz sithez)

which makes me think, if someone were to not die instantly from that, would their two brain halfs think independently as 2 different people? or would they somehow still be linked as one person

In relation to the one game that's literally all about assassination, (AC: Brotha's in the Hood,) as long as it's smooth. I hate making my character go through the humiliation of getting hurt, or... God forbid... Running.

In that specific game's many scenarios, crossbow is usually the best weapon of choice for staying sleek while dealing with anybody that gets in the way. Once I reach my target though, up close and personal 4000 lb axe is usually the way to go.

Look up people with split-brain (severed corpus callosium). It's kinda like you're two different people without that bridge between the hemispheres of the brain. For people not chopped entirely in half, only one side can talk usually...

Depends on which game.

Sometimes I like to go up to them and make them cower with fear for roughly 30 seconds (sometimes security comes and I end up getting blasted to bits which should render the cowering NPC dead because I splatter acidic blood but no they don't!) and then I head-bite the sucker.

Other games I just beat them up even though I could stealthily do it!

First game is AVP2 and second game is Batman:Arkham Asylum. Note that they're both fantastic games, yes AVP2.

Follow them for a long while, closely, inconspicuously. As soon as the moment is right, pistol to the back of the neck, then in the head.

Compund bow & aluminum shaft arrow . . . nice, clean, silent . . .

. . . close enough to be personal, distant enough to be indifferent.
Also cheap, relatively untraceable and lethal.
Only downfall is the skill level involved to properly place your shot - and having to take environment into account . . .

But on the bright side - no muzzle flash, no gunpowder residue :D

Personally, I love nothing more than planting some C4 along their path, sitting back, and watching them stroll to their death. The distance of which the poor NPC's corpse is launched is always bonus.
Cool guys don't look at explosions, right?

OT: I like bustin' through the door, mafia style, and riddling the poor guy with chest shots.

Hey, we're killing a man here. There's no point in doing it half-assed, I would assume that if you're serious about doing this you would practice that shit.

My favourite was replacing a prop gun for a real one in a theater, and then watch him get shot by a colleague during rehearsals. Beautiful.
