I think this is one of the real takeaways from this. The game should encourage you not to make yourself a target. I deliberately crouched a lot of the time, walked on the carpets instead of the hardwood floors to reduce my footsteps, and rarely ran. I expected the game to punish you for trying to do those things, and was rather disappointed to find out that it didn't. A few random encounters from running and the player would be shocked into sneaking, I'd think.
