My point was that all though they give you a ton of tools in the game it is all irrelevant because you don't need to use any of them to complete the task. What is the point in scoping out a targets route, analyzing possible entry and escape routs, making a take down plan when you can just walk up, finger knife him, kill his guards and walk away?

I just seems to me like you are 100% guaranteed of success no matter what you do, which kind of robs the game of its fun.
