Yeah I don't know who mickdickface is but I was "MickDick" and I did accuse you of cheating.
Admittedly I really didn't know much about sneaking this era besides the fact of silent death mechanics. And actually thought you kept running into the casino after killing a follower to avoid them and just come back. (because the doors don't have a combat timer...)
I hardly lost anything anyways, 5 slaves, *psh* 2 mercs, 500 caps and a companion that respawned in my tent 5 seconds later.

But yeah, sneak is obviously, seriously overpowered. In more ways than one. (silent death being the main case)
