Tacked on.

Obviously it's not viable the entire game since you have to beat bosses. Plus there are enemies that are programmed to notice you if you're close to them, no matter how sneaky you are.

stealth always feels tacked on unless you're playing an online game

>there are enemies that are programmed to notice you if you're close to them, no matter how sneaky you are.
Why on earth would they even include stealth, then?

>wear black knife armor
>farum azula is now the easiest dungeon in the game
yes it's nice

>weight load has no effect on stealth performance
>no items interact with it
>only humanoids can be crit using it, via backstab
it's tacked on

Because Elden Ring is the Fighter’s Megamix of Souls games.

It's tacked on, crouching is only practical because you can use rolling attacks instantly. The stealth doesn't matter at all.

>backstabs mainly only works on humanoid enemies
it kinda sucks, the payoff isn't there half the time

You can still use charged heavy attacks if the enemy can't be backstabbed

>No items interact with it
You must've missed some talismans because that's just plain false

yeah but if i'm opening with one of those it's easier to run up and do it while they exit their idle pose, why bother stealthing

Stealth is for quick movement through short distances and opportunistic kills. It was never meant to be a dedicated playstyle st it works just fine for its intended purpose

worthless after the first enemy camp
