That was an idea for a scripted, story mission. I don't think it would be reasonable to do something like that with a randomized or procedural system, though (not without it coming up with some really odd situations.) My overall inkling for CP at this point is that it will resemble something like TW3 meets Life is Strange. Plenty of player choice and plenty of scripted, well-played scenes. So, if a player decides to go guns out / no prisoners, the game could load the "combat scenario version" of the quest. If players decide to sneak in, the game could load the "espionage / infiltration version" of the quest. That sort of thing. Then, it would be up to the player to either use "speechcraft skills" to schmooze their way through the mission, or wait until dark and use "sneaking skills" to shimmy up the garbage shoot to get into the restricted sections.
All I'm really saying is that fighting mechanics have evolved exponentially since video games became a thing. Stealth has remained largely limited to "press crouch to disable AI detection". (At that point, in most games, you then creep up on an enemy...to engage in some form of fighting mechanic.)

It's actually 10-year-old tech (probably more). I'm sure they have much niftier stuff right now, although I'm not sure it's anywhere near affordable or robust enough to become "standard". And isn't it cool how quickly "science-fiction impossibilities" become "everyday stuff"? (I still remember using rotary phones while daydreaming about having a portable phone that you could just take with you everywhere. Hang the utterly ridiculous, fantastical, head-in-the-clouds idea about having a video phone that would let you actually see the other person...)
