No, not THOSE ones. :cheeky: I'm taking about a couple in the Museum.
[SPOILER]Near the main atrium, where the elevator is, there's an area with one of those big portcullis things, and a couple of huge statues. I walked up to the portcullis, and there was a loud noise, like something rattling the metal bars. One of the statues was moving, but not like the animated statues - more like it was just rocking around.
It gave me a bit of a turn, I can tell you - I'd nearly finished the mission, and for a moment I thought the hag had enchanted the museum statues, to make it difficult to get out. However, apart from the rocking, nothing else happened.
Is this significant in any way?[/SPOILER]

Nope, no significance. The same thing has happened to me - you most likely bumped the statue somehow. Those two large statues by the elevator seem to be made of styrofoam - the slightest touch will send them tipping over, spinning, or whatever else the engine feels compelled to do.

There a few in the game you can bump to the ground or move by bumping over them, in some cases (the museum) you can get trapped by falling statues.
Perhaps is something to do with messing around with the game .ini files.
(as in body awareness turned off).

They are for some reason placed slightly above the ground, so if you bump into them they drop and make a lot of noise and bounce around. A guard died once because he was searching for me, bumped into one of these statues and the statue hit him so he died. :p

As I recall, one of the statues is so close to a grating that if you open it with the nearby switch it will hit the statue and begin making it bounce around. I don't think the grating can actually open as a result. It's really noisy too - not a good thing for a stealth expert. I reloaded though so I've no idea how guards would react.

You have to hit one of the statues in order to get a piece of loot on top of it.

The one with the loot is a different statue. The two I'm on about are next to one of the big portcullis things - the one near the elevator.
