Re: mystery of the stolen breast milk, my best guess on the culprit(s) are

1. they were GOMADing gymbros and took the free protein

2. they were Indians

Now you can say all that is just fluff and one shouldn't care that much about it, but the camera angle could have gameplay implications as well. For example in the trailer you can just see enemies behind walls and closed doors and that's not how Arkane's other games works (at least not without specific skill/power).

This is a preference thing and nothing to do with systems and how they interact.
Roguey, there's this sort of tunnel vision people can get when they focus on something in the abstract for too long. Like coding for instance, you lose sight of the wider issue and get stuck in a loop, unable to solve your current problem. The thing to do then is take a break, get a cigarette, work on something else for a couple of hours, so you can lay fresh eyes on your roadblock later.

You really wanna get that cigarette break right now, 'cause you've come to argue that FPP and isometric stealth might as well be the same videogame experience.

Stealth games are stealth games. Yes, they play a bit differently, but they're still the same genre.

Genre classifications aren't exclusive, Splinter Cell is a stealth game, Thief is a stealth game and an immersive sim.
