Consequence Cutscenes

Explanation:

After the level is completed, give the player some feedback on what they did in the level. For example, Ramirez's irritation when he discovered that his valuables were stolen by the man he wanted to kill.

Points to bear in mind:

Increases the level of satisfaction.

Interrupts play, once the player has done a job shouldn't be forced to hear about it again.

Increases the amount of non-vital fmv work to be done.

Doesn't have to be a cutscene, could be just that AI in later levels could comment about it, expanding on what occurred with Thief 2.

Perhaps certain strange paths could be hardcoded, and a specialised response triggered if recognised. For example, if the player decides to place all his unconcious bodies in one room, he is branded a mad man in a later level.
