I have to say its a bit of a pleasure seeing someone recognizing a sage advice when they see it.

Usually most posters asking for this kind of advice think im just trying to be funny or that im not really considering what they wanted.

It is a horrible gamer affliction and i hope you get over it, for the betterment of your gameplay and time with OS.

It will help you with that itself.
If you let it.

One of the beauties of the game is that it allows you to find your own way through without requesting almost any min-maxing and powergaming. The possibility space of OS is vast.
(well... compared to other games, certainly and within its own scope, style and setting of course)

I dont want to bore anyone with my builds and whatnot but i never took any of the most obviously powerful talents and abilities, i made utterly unconventional hybrids, (dexterity or strength based, sword and shield rogue mages that dont ever backstab, for example) played with two source hunters only, without lone wolf or glass cannon, etc, etc - and its all been really great worthwhile fun.

As for stealth and invisibility answer, i meant it in the context of a stealing, stealthing, backstabbing kind of a character build and playstyle, if thats your style.
Lets say that invisibility is a great backup or addition for the moments when stealth fails and it opens additional options and possibilities in the gameplay.

If i do manage to make my mod, the stealing will not be so easy anymore. I have a great idea how to do that but i dont want to spoil it.
Additionally if NPCs could be made to recognize their own items it would help too to make it look less goofy. It is fun to sell their own property to NPCs but it does get a bit old after the first few times.
