Lol....about the Ugly part.
Even though it was optional, I disliked the option of siding with one
faction or the other, or both, or neither. Garrett is a loaner.
Haven't played it, but the subtitled game "Chaos Theory" starts off
with a stealth only level. You can shoot out some lights with a silencer
to keep it dark. It would arouse a few bad guys, but you were still
being stealthy.
Also had some lock picking in it similar to T3.
