Default Flying Beings

We have any flying beings in all three games.(except fire elements in TDP and flies of course.)) Don't you think this is time? Doesn't have to be monsters,can be weird birds, bats, I don't know. (maybe a pheonix but this would be overkill)
Maybe we can use these flying things. For example: There are birds on the roof and we scare them with an arrow. They will fly, make noise and attract attention.
And we can use birds to send messages maybe.

"If we have animals players won't use these fit of game's purposes and they will kill them. So, animals that we can interact with are unnecessary."
This is what you mean?

I don't think it matters. Plenty of games have birds and the like which pretty much do nothing, but the player can kill if they see fit.

I like the idea of startling birds.

Ah, ok. I just couldn't understand exactly your previous post because of my bad english. Thanks for explaining.

But how big is that fly? If its going to be an enemy it needs to be at least as big as the will-o-wisp's.

if i were to guess....they new developers will probably not want to delv back into something that has already been done. they will probably want to take pride in doing something new and fresh

levitating things are sufficient enough. we don't need flying dragons or ghost things which are impossible to hit. you might as well suggest garret would start riding a horse or start casting spells

Yeah I wonder too - everything present in a game is killed / sometimes a little rampage is fun - who of us did never smuggle sunburst device among the part guests at Angelwatch? Should we now leave the civilians out of T4?

I would love to see some pets in T4.

But I don't want flying enemies like harpies or sth like that. Things like fire elementals hovering near ground are ok.

Hah, all this reminds me of the cats in Thief 3. They were silly, and I don't think you could touch them.

I would only be interested in seeing ravens and bats perched high up on rooftops and cathedral gargoyles, for the benefit of extra realism/atmosphere only. I wouldn't want anything to interact with and definitely no dragons etc.

garrett should have a live bat in his pocket. (you know like a flying bat) and instead of flash bombs he can release the bat to fly around the gaurds face and distract him for 10 seconds. that will get rid of having to buy flash bombs over and over again. just buy one bat.
