I've done a runthrough of early access with a Thief, and I've found that solo'ing big fights is pretty easy (if tedious) with a stealthy character. I did the Spectator, Spider Queen, ect. all with bs stealthing tactics solo. Stealth. Shoot with bow. Hide. Rinse, repeat. If the terrain is good (heavily obscured) I can go in for melee sneak attack backstab, Jump (because Mobile is broken), run and hide. Rinse, repeat. Enemies will not look for you, will not turn around to face a different direction, even if they keep getting shot in the back with arrows.
Even having enemies turn around, face a random direction, would make this hit-and-run tactic more risky, because the detection cones would change. With a ranged weapon, there's no incentive to even bother retreating after each shot. And if mobile is fixed, you could theoretically backstab, step back 3 steps, backstab, repeat. Does anyone know if you can hide right behind the enemy after a backstab? I never tried it because it never occured to me that something that bs would actually work.
