Wow, that is sooo weird. I didn't know what you guys were talking about, so I went hunting on Google and found the Silent Project and S&U pages. Looks like others had the very same goofy idea, years before I did it. Hilarious. One of 'em even used the same hall to line up the bodies, although I suppose that's not too odd, since it was an opera hall, and the obvious place to do it.

What I find really interesting are the body counts. In Azal's screenie, there's one more than in mine, which I suspect is the guy from the cavern hauled up to join the party. Jim the Hairy's screenie, though, has me scratching my head. He's got the guy from the cavern, but he also has two more guards and one page. That's three people in the opera house I couldn't account for. I searched that place high and low, and couldn't find anyone else. My KO count matches the bodies, so anyone I didn't find was definitely still awake somewhere, and I checked every room and made a racket. lol I'm stumped at figuring out where those other three were hiding. Ah well, it was still fun. :)

I am definitely going to have some fun reading Azal's Strange and Unusual guide. Looks very cool!

Probably because the height of the ceiling. I couldn't get the bodies to look like letters. If one could go higher for the screenshot, --a lot higher--, it would probably work, but even from that high ceiling, it just wasn't enough to allow them to appear like letters. I was looking at Azal's site last night, and noticed a screenie like that, where Azal had spelled his (her?) name out with bodies, and taken the screenshot from very high up somewhere. Must have been five or six times the elevation of the opera house ceiling, and it worked fine. So yeah, it can be done, if the terrain allows for it.
