  To be fair, if I was some low wage guard looking for a highly trained assassin/swordsman/batman then I probably would pretend I couldn't find them. Better to get shouted at by your boss then get murdered for doing your job.

  Wardrobes are terrible places to hide . Last time I tried that I ended up lost in the snow with a goatman

  The &quot;hiding above someone&quot; tactic is actually pretty realistic, because people tend to not look up when searching for things and prefer looking at eyesight level.<br>That&apos;s why supermarkets put the most expensive stuff right at the hight of your head and the cheapest things at the bottom.<br>Also: after seeing a SWAT-Team getting tricked out by a runnaway that put a thing over his head and stood still in a corner of a room, these hiding strategies are not too unrealustic anymore...

  I feel like Agent 47&apos;s entire existence is the perfect hiding place. I mean who would suspect that bald guy with the barcode tattoo on his head who is always around when people get murdered? Right? Right!

  It&apos;s not that the minions of Ganon didn&apos;t know Link was in there. It&apos;s that they DID know he was in there. I wouldn&apos;t open a barrel with doom guy in it either.

  ninjas actually did walk along roofs to move about unnoticed. buildings were lit from inside and unless you were above the kitchen there was no way of light reaching the rooftops especially since the roof overlaps the walls in old japanese buildings making the light shine across rather than up. they didn&apos;t have lamp posts either in ancient japan so as long as you didn&apos;t draw the attention of a person with a lantern you could sneak around unnoticed.<br><br>victorian thieves used to pull a clever trick where if they were being chased they would run into a room with an adjoining door and hide in the closet. the pursuer would assume they ran into the adjoining and follow. at that moment the thief would burst out of the closet and run out of the door giving them a head start in the chase. obviously after adjoining rooms went out of fashion so did this trick as it&apos;s very obvious where somebody went when there&apos;s literally no where else they could have gone.<br><br>in world war 2 british soldiers escaping nazi prison camps would hide in piles of manure that were being transported from farm to farm by allied members of the french resistance. turns out that nazi privates were reluctant to search the manure even if they suspected a person might be hiding in it because of how gross it is. this method actually fooled the nazies for quite some time until a superior officer did the smart thing and picked up a pitch fork which is what would have been used to shovel the manure and started stabbing at the manure. this resulted in the deaths of several escapees via deadly infection.<br><br>several small, flexible and underweight prisoners have escaped via air ducts to this date but a lot lot lot more have tried to do so and died in the process. restrictions of movement have lead to suffocation, some have climbed through unused parts of the facility and got stuck and died of thirst, some have severed arteries on mechanical fans and bled to death, one man climbed into a chimney by mistake and was choked by noxious gases but most have met a grizzly end when shafts went vertical and they slipped and fell several stories to a sudden stop. it certain not a good method of travel.<br><br>so all these sneaking methods have some sort of truth to them. however the game developers might have used them out of context in completely unrealistic situations and the audience isn&apos;t stupid enough not to notice.

  To be fair to Dishonored: I tested this by sticking a note on the ceiling of a room and asked some people to look for it. It took about 30 minutes until they spotted it...

  No mention of assassin&apos;s creed&apos;s blooming benches. Just try to escape the police by sitting down on a bench irl. I dare you!
