My (hopefully) comprehensive summation of playing styles (**Spoilers!**)

Jack of All Trades: You put points in all the skills, but don't specialize in any. You approach each problem a little differently, depending on your current stash of ammo, lockpicks, and patience. You are a great sneaker, you aren't a great killer, you aren't always taking the pacifist route. Your key is versatility: you master no skill, but you're trained in practically all of them and Advanced in several.

This was my last play style. Advanced in most skills and master of none.
it did enable me to solve any problem though.

Also I usually follow the pacifist route, except on the Commandos. The need to Die.
And surprisingly the riot prod works on the Agents. Useful method for feeling really superior.

Well, now I'm back in Hong Kong. And I'm keeping my dragon's tooth. I have discovered that it's very handy. I'll certainly keep it for the rest of the game.

"Thunder and Lightning"

Is a modification of the Samurai--basically no middle range, either short or long distance and quick.

Sniper rifle--pick 'em off like Zeus...this be the Thunder
Dragon's tooth--this be the Lightning

Speed aug maxed is the only essential, melee aug is prob second.

Any time you can, get above the action. A perfectly played T&L will almost never be in a firefight--you are either killing them before they see you, or hit and run with the sword.

But notice this is not a "stealth" style, unless you want to throw in the riot prod for a bit of extra electricity.
