That all sounds reasonable. I mean, Skyrim has the classic feature where you stealth shoot an arrow into somebody and they say “Who’s there?” followed by “I guess it was just the wind.” or whatever - with an arrow sticking out of their chest. At some point it just becomes a classic Bethesda aspect of the game. The base building was my least favorite part - but that was more about having to run back to defend stuff rather than just pushing through on side quests.

You nailed it.

My funniest moment is realizing that grenades are better stealth weapons than a pistol. Someone sees you shoot a silenced pistol, you're screwed. If someone watches you throw a grenade, but you get into hiding fast enough, they don't put 2 and 2 together between the thing you threw and that random explosion.

I was in a certain important location and accidentally hit the grenade button... So without thinking I ran. Everyone but one died, and nobody was mad at me. So I looted all the corpses, and walked on whistling.

God that reminds me of almost EVERY bad day I had in Fallout games.
