In realism the guards would pay better attention, and the one time you f'd up you'd be D E D<---- forever. And I certainly love a challenge but this isn't a challenge, it's get carried or farm a few spiffy spots til max level, drug up and pick on weaklings. Pretty much the opposite of challenge. I play in small groups or solo, I've amassed a fair amount of stuff. But sadly the game loses ALL of it's entertainment value when you get hit with the punk kid holding his magnifying glass over your ant hill.
