Open boxes with thalers?

[Googolplex]

Reading the lang-files it is possible to find thalers or coins in the game and when you have enough, you can open boxes with rare items.



So what about the thalers?
Was it only in the alpha-version of the game?
Or a planned feature that never becomes used?

This confuses me a little, lol.
In my opinion I believe the chests/boxes with the rare items were hidden VERY well in the Amnesia game. I never found one, though I remember finding a small bag of thalers. Just don't remember where. I guess FG designed the chests as easter eggs. Dunno.

thalers are used to open a chest in this video.





Seemed like a really lame gameplay element, glad they got rid of it. What the hell kind of a lock opens when you put money into it.

I dunno, I think a Merchant that showed up after each puzzle would be kinda cool.

Whatta bouyin', stranger?

i remember them saying that it was originally planned but later completely removed (since their focus on what they wanted to achieve from the game changed at some point in development). i think they just figured since they got it all working, why remove it from the files? some modder could find use for it. i think the same goes for sanity potions, since those were planned and made but were never actually used.
