Player can melee enemies from water with impunity
If you swim around in the canal works under the Foreign Quarter (or presumably elsewhere), you can swim up to a rat on the shore and stab it to death. It will not attack or try to run away, and can even be seen going through its idle animations such as pawing at the ground, seemingly unaware of your presence. If you climb on shore, provoke the rat, then drop into the water, the rat will immediately forget you, going back to its pacing. Even the battle music immediately stops.
