Ewwww... you use automatic level up?
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I don't because I'm a control freak, but I agree that auto-level doesn't really work all that spectacularly--it tends to pick stuff that you haven't invested in at all, for instance. I almost always give a character a few points of Stealth. Usually you find some good stealth upgrade items and then they're at least *decent* at it, if not great.
I did the Ubese dudes last night and had a bit of trouble at first trying to go toe to toe with them. Mira just isn't capable of that. But with mines, rockets (you can build a lot more at a Workbench and doubtless have items that are fairly worthless otherwise to break down), and grenades (Mira has a HUGE grenade range), you can do bad things to the Ubese. When I did it, she wiped out all of them before I found the release to open the door.
