    In purely game terms, I think it’s just visual shorthand for walking gingerly. Because actually manouvering your body carefully and quietly IRL depends on a lot of factors (surface texture, surrounding environment, footwear, wind conditions, etc) and would be a bitch to fully animate for every permutation.
