KO''s wearing off

Explanation:

KOd guards would wake up again after a set time has elapsed. Of course, the player would have to make sure that they were secure if they intend to spend a long time in the level, so need to give some binding/gag system

Points to bear in mind:

An idea which you either love or hate, so should be an option so that you could cater it to your own personal playing tastes.

I would love this idea as long as it isnt as short as 15 mins! It might seem a little long but 1:10 seems good from a big hit because the guard would alarm the surrounding guards when he/she comes to. A fun idea would be to lock them in a room and hear them bang on the door to get out when thay wake up, lol.

If unconscious, the guards shouldn't wake up precisely after a set number of minutes, but more of a bit random time.

The game designers should research this issue, and alter the realities of KO's to suit the game. Because in reality, its a very random thing. No-one can ever say what will happen when you hit someone there with such a heavy fast object. Results can range from "slip into a coma and die", or "just get a sore head and very angry". And the time it may take for them to wake up is just as random. It can be as short as 15 mins, and in real life, if someone is unconsious for more than 2 hours, its likely they aren't going to wake up at all. Its for these reasons that we don't hear about entire buildings of unconsious people, robbed by a single thief. (as is common in the Thief game) So what I'm saying is, there are a lot of real life cues to use here that would make it fun (the random time to wake up, etc) but it would have to be suited to the game (because too realistic would be too frustraiting). And I would really like to not see entire buildings of unconsious people. The game and missions
