Still, it would be nice to have a functional stealth system in game.
nah i think it's highy unlikly at this point, they said they are finishing the game. The whole system would need to be redesigned and good stealth systems are generally really hard to make.
It's a matter of degree. Making a fantastic stealth mechanic would probably be too much at this stage, but making some changes that would make the stealth system much more usable for players not actively trying to cheese it shouldn't be nearly as hard, and it feels like it could be done without totally redesigning the system.
In a second attempt to keep this thread from turning into another discussion of broken stealth mechanics, I'll post the correct link this time to the recent thread discussing possible tweaks to improve stealth alongside other cheesy mechanics:
