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.
