Let me be clear on something right from the beginning: Im glad Sneak has been balanced from the horrendously OP state it was in FO3 but now that it feels more...normal?...who or when would we use the Sneak skill

I know it seems obvious, ive played this game for hundreds if not over a thousand hours and ive Sneaked much of that time, but im having trouble thinking of a reason to take Sneak over, say, 50 to get Silent Running and improved holdout weapons. I don't use silenced weapons, so Sneak gets me one kill per 'group' of enemies on average except on the rare occasion where I am able (and choose) to melee sneak attack a group as in We Are Legion. My latest playthrough was Legion and my Courier had Sneak at around 70 or so and I was able to get through the Dam fairly easily in light armor and Silent Running but it didn't feel like it *won* me the game

I dunno, im just having doubts about putting more points into Sneak again, any testimonials?
