Who Also Does this...?

[Kreekakon]

I have to agree with both spukrian, and Cranky here, though I lean more towards Cranky. It's true that a lot of game have many different ways to play, and its fun to try out different ways. In Amnesia you can do this too, like say what spukrian said: Playing without lantern, and such.

However, I think the "way" of getting past enemies by letting them kill you so they despawn really is as Cranky says, killing the whole concept behind the game. Unlike other ways of play, this one actually IMHO ruins the actual intended meaning of Amnesia. It doesn't offer a new world of possibility that usually comes with different play styles, at least not in a good way.
