Things that would have made Amnesia scarier

2: Have the Gatherers carry Lanterns so that they can spot you better.

I love this idea. I feel like it would give them much more character and depth rather than representing the simple gameplay side of the game that they do now. I fear they would look obnoxious running with in though, plus they would be less stealthy. So maybe only a few unique instances in which the monsters would have carried lanterns would have been the best option.

How about a new Gatherer called a 'Searcher' that carries a lantern. With the Lantern, very good eyesight and has great hearing, but low attack strength. Once it sees you, it summons (spawns) a Grunt or Brute to chase you!
