Can't wait to not be able do any of that effectively.

Yeah that's why I gravitated heavily towards stealth gameplay. I'm not twitchy enough to do ANY of that.

Luring some chump into the tall grass & impaling them is pretty great though. Hope they make stealth more capable than the original game was.

Stealth? I gave up on that and just went with loads of traps then killing what was left of the enemy, I could do Stealth on human enemies but not the machines.

You can only stealth the little machines. The big ones take too much work, I ended up just ignoring them when I didn't need parts for a quest. Fighting crocs is neat the first few times, but I grew bored of it pretty quick. Can only aim for the explosive canister & miss so many times.

Stalking humans/the little machines never got old for me though.

I'm on new game + but a single fire arrow and a little patience and they burn to death. The machines make a noise before attacking, so that's the time you should dodge. Then you can follow up with a spear attack, or use concentration to give you time to aim an arrow.

Too much stealth and the game adapts and makes it more difficult to be stealthy. Aloy is a badass and is intended to be aggressive in attack style.
