Could someone please tell me if you know anything about the AI driven rats that feast on humans? Read about hem in the august edition of GameInformer.

The only information released about this game so far is the information in the august GameInformer, so no, nobody knows anything you don't know yet.

Well, I don't remember if it was mentioned in the GI article, but you can stick a bomb to a rat, possess it, and then use it as a suicide bomb -- which sounds like good times.

In fact a lot of Dishonored previews were published on the web lately - the game was demonstrated to the press at QuakeCon and also is at Gamescom.

For some reason, the most rat focused preview I could read so far was http://pc.ign.com/articles/118/1186458p1.html.

What's the deal with the rats anyway? Have they finally started to band together to fight against the long-held oppression by every single RPG player character ever?

Does the intelligence of the rats increase when they form groups?

Good question. Some species are known to develope crowd intelligence, while each individual remains limited on its own.

I liked the idea of turning into a rat to escape from enemies whilst your little rat buddies occupy them.
