Help me out here. :) Possible spoilers ahead.
#1 It's friggin impossible to get off ladders except at the bottom and the top (if you're lucky).
#2 Take a close look at the wanted posters. There is at least one that is reversed. Located in
Pavelock Prison.
Okay, so it's not much to start with. I just wanted to get it started now to catch those fleeting first impressions. :)
EDIT: Oh yeah... Disclaimer: There's no guarantee that I'm going to do anything with this. If you post here, there is no guarantee that it will be used in any S&U that I may or may not do. If I do use stuff posted here, there's no guarantee that I'll credit the poster properly. However, I will try to do so and having everything in one tidy thread increases the odds dramatically. :)

#3 What function do rats have?

The table in the last room (ok next to last if you count the exit area) of the training lifts up out of the ground when you remove the bag from it... Indiana Jones suddenly struck me in the face and I was looking for something to put back on it... heh. Actualy I've had a few objects lift up out of the ground from simular actions.
I have seen several armed NPC's with their swords 'hanging' up into their arm pit, must hurt ;)
Stacks of coins look a LOT like ampules of poision...
The tatoo on bald headed man who is walking about in the stone quarter at least on you first and second visit glows in certain lighting thow this may be perposful... I'm watching that guy.
NPC's will go home and get more bags of gold to steal if you wait around long enough (might be leave the area and return, but I could have sworn...
I dunno, I'm grasping now. I'll come back when I see more.

I was stuck/hiding behind some big crates when two or three guards were chasing me. One of the guards ran at me full speed, and ran into the crate and the other guards at the same time. It sent him into the air maybe 10 feet and let him fall onto the crate, smashing the crate and killing him...weirdness...
That's the only bug I've seen with the physics...other than that one time, the physics rock.

Hate to kill your #1 Thumper, but if you just simply press jump while not moving, you'll release the ladder =)
I have one you can have though that you'll want to try yourself, as they are fun =)
Trying closing a door with a corpse in the doorway. I've had a variety of results, the most common being the store slamming into them over and over until they have lifted above the door frame and it can close. I have once had the body fly across the room into a stack of boxes, however.
Also, loot/objects in the way of doors or grates that fold down onto the floor cause similar results. There's actual an area I found where the loot was on the ground and a grate opened downward onto it..didnt think Id ever bee able to get, the way it was dancing around.

In the sea captains mansion there is a hidey hole covered by a grate. When you open the grate it falls down onto candlestick loot, and then bounces back up. And does this continuosly until you pick up the candlestick.

haha yeah that's the one alright PanDMonium =)

Guards get mildly suspicious if cats or rats are acting abnormal. "Wonder why the rats are so skittish?" or something like that.
Also, I ran into the Candlestick/grate thing at the Clocktower, near the little Hammerite altar. The grate eventually sent the candlestick flying, allowing it to open.

Looks like a good start. :)
Sorry, Azal. I didn't mean to exclude your fine work on T2!

Oh, I knew that of course. I just wasn't entirely clear. Your choices appear to be either get off at the bottom, get off at the top if there is a floor facing you at the top, or jump off and fall back to the bottom. I equate the latter more or less with just getting off at the bottom. Try getting off sideways.
In Pavelock there is a ladder. Climb it and try to get off onto the floor to the left. I couldn't find a way to do it. I suppose I haven't played the game long enough to justify an absolute no way here though. Maybe there are places where you can get off sideways and I just haven't found them yet. :)
