Nothing wrong with sneaking. Even Conan would sneak from time to time.
However, sometimes you can have the most fun by breaking the rules. I say save your game and give it a shot.
From time to time is kinda wrong

Conan sneaked most of the times, he only went chuchonga crazy if he got caught, cornered or ambushed.
He was one of the best thieves in Hyboria.
NOTE : Was, since the stories of him now is actually being read through scrolls ^^
Sorry about the off-topic
