No spoilers, but man, did it just seem to drag on and on or was it just me?

Here I thought it was going to be a fun little one-off… go to the kiosk, send in a job application… this might be good for a laugh… then it just… never… ends…

I’m glad I got the operative level, but jeeze louise, the mission board quests afterwards are more interesting than doing the questline.

    I did this questline fairly early in my first playthrough. I wanted money fast to pay my house so I figured, why not start in the greediest city! I struggled so much without any points in stealth doing those missions as they wanted. I ended up taking a break and doing something else for a while and I checked how many more missions there was (a lot…). Aside from that I had a ton of fun, good opportunity too level up my persuasion.

      It doesn’t matter if you have one point in stealth, or 4 points in stealth. Stealth in particular feels broken in this game, even with chameleon suit, full stealth and using a chem like frostwolf the NPCs seem to spot me instantly from the other side of a massive room.

        You’re actually supposed to take your suit off entirely. If you’re wearing a suit and not just apparel their ability to spot you gets really enhanced. Take the suit off and they’ll detect you much slower

          Oh for real? Makes sense now I think about it, I set all my gear to ‘hide while indoors’ ages ago and forgot all about it. Thanks!

            There are a few NPC dialogue lines about it, but I don’t think they make it clear enough. Yeah, you can leave the boost pack and helm on, so if you have chameleon on one of those that’s great, then you take the suit off and if you really wanna be safe or have shitty stealth stat you can take a reconstim, and you should notice it get dramatically easier to stealth around

        I first started one mission of stealth with the apparel they give us with the bonus stealth. NPCs were spotting me through grilled vent in the ceiling and they were VERY motivated to search for me for an eternity (I craved for a: “it must be the wind” line). I did it with 1 point in, it wasn’t easy but less of a pain and NPCs could abandon the search with a nice “He got away”. I still saved a bunch and repeat some sections for this one. I think the last mission or second to last I just given up and change status from detected to danger and undected again in repeat.
