I played through the game with a stealth character, and I actually had to reload and make a new character who never ever invested any points in stealth for any reason to find any challenge in the game. Otherwise, every dungeon was basically "oh look, I activated a trap, and 50 enemies spawned. But they can't see me, so now I'll shoot them one by one in complete safety."
It's a great game in other ways, but the stealth mechanic is abominable.
