Probably not, I was just getting ready to edit that in, thanks for bringing it up. I really enjoy that, to me it makes the fights more savorable. I actually noticed this within the third area I encountered. I was farming the second bonfire because enemies were relatively close. I then realized, three of the closest ones had disappeared. That's when this took effect. It's a nice change, and makes the game flow better. Gives it a well "empty" aspect if you just go ape shit on the enemies like in DsK 1.
