This is a really satisfying way of playing some games, but even in the ones which encourage this ive found some fun ways of dispatching enemies.Zhukov said:The sneak-past-and-let-them-live-to-see-their-families approach.
Sadly not always an option.
In mgs3, in the mountain region, there is an enemy base complete with trenches, planks to get over said trenches and afew storage buildings. Whilest trying to sneak my way through the area i came across a storage shed, i saw a patrol walk into it. i waited a while longer and he came back fairly soon. When he left i ran into the building and set acouple of explosives about the place. i went back to my hiding place and when the patrol went back inside. Boom.
Oh, there is also a mod on morrowind which allows you to attempt to break your targets neck while sneaking, the chance of sucess is modified by your strength and luck ,i think. you can only insta-kill them if no one in the area has seen you at all. Thats quite fun.
