Default Why I'm happy there is no water to swim in

Opinions are opinions and I'm glad I can state them here. Personally, I think its great that we don't need to swim around in water on this game. If I was a thief I'd be worried about losing precious coins or even some of my gear in the water as I swam around. Plus, leaving a trail of water drops for a guard to follow isn't exactly my idea of being stealthy. Think now people! It's just one way to make the game much more realistic and still cool at the same time I'll tell ya one thing though ahahah i'll miss watching some of the baddies running into the water after me. It was pleasant to hear their SCREAMS as they slowly faded into a death state of existence....ahhahahha (big grin). But! When jumping from a high cliff or building, it was always nice to land in a big pond of water to allow for safe landing. hmmmm...anyhoo

Wouldn't it be more realistic if you could choose to swim or not to swim? Not that the lack of water bothers me that much...but just a thought.

Well, do we have a choice in the matter when it comes to water? Not really, either we will play it, or not, with or without water.

I shall miss going into the water, it was always such a blast to lure zombies and Hammerites into the water, and watch them drown. Chase me you bastards.

I don't mind the removal of water from a tactical viewpoint. Cheese tactics like leading guards to their drowning death won't work in T3, a good thing.

I just hope you can still blackjack people and dump them in water to watch them drown, especially in bathtubs. That was one of my favorite ways to end an Expert mission gone wrong.

Also, I liked knocking them out, jumping off a building and dropping them midair, to see if I would fail the mission because they hit first or because I hit first (the physics weren't quite right so you could get ahead of the falling body sometimes). I hope these crucial 'abusing unconscious bodies' options are still in-game.

I like to dump uncontious bodys into ponds, canals, or sewers to keep myself from getting found out.

Gaurds seem to see even an unconcious body and scream bloody murder. Then serch around but cant seem to leave very often because they keep seeing the dead body that I cant come out of my hidy hole, or if they see it and yell and there are others close by, the others come running and it would take me forever to leave.


I WANT WATER VENUES FOR ESCAPES!!!!!!

I just hope dumping already dead bodies in the water doesn't count as killing them this time around. Its funny hearing a dead body drowning. "But you are already dead!"
