Hi,
I was very excited to see Stealth was one of the playstyles available, and I started a stealth play-through,
However this game doesn't seem designed for stealth, it's either unsatisfying, broken, or simply not possible.
Here are some issues I encountered, that could be fixed.
I hope the bugs outlined (first section) can at least be fixed so that other players have a better experience that the one I'm currently having.

Here are some issues I encountered, that could be fixed.
- NPCs like Jackie are invisible to enemies, they can also talk and NPCs won't hear it. (see screenshot below)
- NPCs do not seem to notice when I open doors, elevators etc. in front of them.
- There is no way to distract NPCs like whistling or throwing an item. Only by hacking, which is OK but in many cases not possible due to NPC location.
- Many missions in which it's impossible to play stealth due to scripted actions etc.
- In many areas there's just one way forward (unlike games like Hitman, Deus Ex etc.)
- The stealth skill tree is mostly about poisons
- NPCs are mostly stupid, they either just stare at walls and stay in one place.
- Game is a lot about hacking, yet there's no way to use hack to avoid alarms being triggered.
