Talk:City Watch Officers/@comment-26438896-20151209202748

Mah Critiques on those guys:

First, they drink much less wiskey than Lower Guards, secondly pissing on the edge of th walkway near the Lighthouse is fun, because the other guards remained in the fortress will think it's raining (even if the weather's sunny).
 * Officers are known to leave their posts to urinate while on patrol, including off of Kingsparrow Lighthouse, though they do this less often than their lower-ranking counterparts.

Being still for a perfect aim is good, but I wouldn't suggest it, because it happened that I-Corvo was still alive, but Havelock got killed by an Officer in exchange.
 * Officers are equipped with swords and pistols. When using their pistols, Officers will take a short pause to aim before they fire. Corvo can use this brief period of time to attack them and to disrupt their action.

I personally noticed this done on lower-ranked guards. Officers kill them intentionally, because their fellows belong to a very useless rank (this sounds pretty discriminatory). You know... Hiram Burrows minded to do the same with poorer people.
 * Shots fired by Officers will hit other guards if they are in the way, causing them significant damage.

This proves what I said before on killing "accidentally" lower-ranked Guards.
 * Officers are much more civil than lower guards and their conversations are moderately polite, showing they are courteous to their fellows. They rarely converse with lower ranking men.

Not occassionally. Rarely. Ignorance among all City Watch dudes is bliss, even with high ranked ones: just take their dialogues, for example:
 * Officers can occasionally be seen reading books.

Officer#1 - "Should we gather for wiskey and cigars tonight?"

Officer#2 - "Never doubt it"

*Facepalms*

Am I the only who thinks they obtained their rank through corruption of the government itself?
 * The Heart reveals that Officers are often the sons of rich and powerful families. This brings the question of whether they actually obtain their ranks through merit, or simply purchase officer commissions from the government in a fashion similar to the historical British Army.

Attacking from behind, you say? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
 * Officers show an understanding of tactics in battle, often going around an embattled opponent and attacking from behind.

Music Awards for the Best Musician: 100000000/10!
 * An Officer may try and play a piano if there is one nearby.

Nobody knows, except me: Officers are great painters and sculptors, even greater than Sokolov himself.
 * Officers can be seen occasionally looking at paintings or other works of art, and will sometimes comment on them, often to themselves.
