You should not be able to use the camera to scout through closed doors. Those bad guys inside should be able to jump me the second I open the door and I should be able to spy on them by panning the camera through the door. Same thing with secret rooms. It kinda defeats the purpose of a secret room when you can see the room through the wall.

You should not be able to gain advantage for having the high ground or by standing behind an enemy. Having free advantage all the time completely breaks the 5e rules set and makes stuff like Sneak Attack completely broken.

You should not be able to surprise almost every encounter by attacking them while they are in conversation with another character.

Starting the fight with 1 character while the other 3 hide in the shadows or in the rafters is REALLY cheesy and that tactic can be used on almost every encounter. You basically get a free opening attack with 3 out of 4 party members. I think its ok that this is a strategy, but enemies need a LOT more health so that your alpha strike does not remove half the enemies in the encounter before they get to act.

Stealth is actually a thing as an opener for classes that have bonuses ( Rogue and Ranger come to mind ), the main issue here is that it can be used infinitely and breaks the enemy A.I. when you enter combat and use it again after every attack from long range. It could be easily fixed if it was a full action instead of bonus action for example ( That way the player decides wether is better to hide or attack in his turn ) but i still believe they should change the A.I. to move where the last attack came from so the player is at least forced to move around. The way it is atm this cheese can be used even by a 3 year old.

In every game there are ways to "cheat" and make the game easy. It's on you to decide whether you want to be a cheater. In real life you can stab someone in the back, you just have to decide do you want to be that kind of person.

All classes aren't supposed to be able to backstab, that's another big issue that trivializes the whole Class System which is almost as fake as the one they have in DOS2. You even have backstabbing bears here.

Again Larian, Stealth should not the Invisible Spell and enemies shouldn't be able to detect Invisible characters even if they are close to each other. Invisibility should be voided by any action or by taking dmg and should only be allowed for scouting areas ahead because it still gonna give you the first action advantage. So no placing 9000 barrels or crates while invisible either since each placement should count as an actual action.
