Why !

Its funny at times.

I nicked the plant, onthe docks for the Pagans, spent ages sneaking, in the room that you plant it in, I was seen hiding behind the bush in the corner, a Pagan walked over and said, "I Bees seeing you Garret", then walked off and I walked out, I guess I done my daily chores,


also this.

In the city, if you get on top of a nice heavy-duty crate and theres a guard chasing you, the guard will stand there, angry at you,  flapping his arms like a bird and yelling.  Just make sure that the guard doesnt have a bow!

Being a child sneaking around was just brilliant, very clever.

Edit: try these in the cradle.


Chairs
You can do alot of things with the multitude of chairs in the cradle.
Hit them with your blackjack, and watch them do acrobatics!
push them down stairs, and watch them slide!

Oil Flasks
Stock up on oil flasks beforehand. What could be more fun than watching an undead fall down the stairs?

plates, books, cups & pitchers
Throw them at enemies! What could be more fun than pegging a Puppet in the head with a random object?

Book golfing
set a book in front of a door. Open the door and watch the book go flying!

Backstabbing
Sneak up behind a puppet, and backstab it! Watch it topple to the ground!

Viktrola soccer
jump up on the viktrolas table, and kick it around!
Take it everywhere!

Unfortunately no it didnt. I can see it being very creepy and such but the only time I have ever been supprised that way in a game was getting caught from behind by one of the pink demons in the original DOOM. Nothing has surpassed that experience.

I tend to handle games in third party cold logic rather than being able to put myself into them, Im not there, theres nothing they can do to hurt me so theres nothing to be frightened of.

Nope, not one second, it might have been a bit creepy but I went through it like a borg.

Admission, I would go around the game knocking people out with the blackjack and then throw them into water or over high balconies or down stairwells to make sure they didnt bother me.
