I don't recommend trying to walk while crouched. It's easily hard on the knees, and those are kind of important. In video games, though, you can do that for days, no problem.
I've mostly been poking fun at Fable 2 in Parable, but that game said "hey, remember the stealth options in Fable? Yeah, we don't need that."
And to be fair, they didn't. It wasn't that fantastic a thing in the first game, and the way the second game was structured, I don't think it would have added much of anything to it. Fable 2 was mostly about fighting swarms of things, and you only got XP via defeating enemies or consuming items, so you'd just be missing out on core gameplay and experience by trying to sneak past things.

To me, "were" in these context implies a plural subject. "It's not as though WE were" would work, to my ears.

Subtle stealth gets people like Dina and me into places that we've no idea are even supposed to be secured from people like us. But if we tried to crouch-walk into such places? We'd be tossed out before we knew we were even trying to get there.

2020-07-03 15:30:28 +0000 UTCI'm playing Odyssey right now, and while stealth is a powerful tool to accomplish the objectives, more than any AC game before it feels like going in swinging is a viable option.

2020-07-03 15:17:21 +0000 UTCYeah, it's the subjunctive case. It's only used for hypotheticals / conditional statements. It's also totally optional, and "It's not as though I was" would be equally correct here.
2020-07-03 01:44:57 +0000 UTCIs "It's not as though I were" the correct sentence construction? I would have used "It's not as though I was", but I'm not an English teacher or anything.
