invisible wolfie ****POSSIBLE SPOILERS****

Right, i might be terribly unperceptive, so this may turn out embarassing or enlightning. both good prospects.

I've finished this game numerous times, and i keep finding new things.
Just now i found one of those things [i did a search and didn't find anything about it - still - this might be something everyone else have seen but me].
When you first speak to Beckett after blowing up the Sabbath warehouse your character has the option of asking dear Beckett why he has been 'stalking' you, even though it's the first time you meet. I explained this to myself with that no matter clan, the neonate you play i naturally a bit paranoid when it comes to shapeshifting elders... BUT - aha! - today i found something...
When I had been up at the beach house killing/seducing/sneaking past the nice chemists, i decided to walk over to the pier to behold the torn apart carcass i know hangs there, and what do i see at the cliff just above the stairs that lead up to the pier? A strangely familiar wolf like shape watching you, to run off when you get closer... and this was the first time i saw it!

Now you may either indulge in my naive happiness, or see something new for yourself next time you play :p
I felt i had to share. It just made me happy.
life is a splendid thing to indulge in. pity we're dead.

The very first time you are on the beach, if you head up the stairs, he will be there, and run off as soon as you approach him. Tough to catch, but he's there. Good eyes. It took me nearly six months to see that.

Well. Apparently it took me around... *counts* two years? i think we have to change that to 'bad eyes'.

Don't be too tough on yourself. I watched "Airplane" six times before I realised the jet was making the noises of a prop-job. We all have our blind spots :)

funnily enough, I posted about the wolf a few times - I asked whether it was Beckett watching the PC from early on - BUT I also wondered if it could be a werewolf - after all, an early mission is to get werewolf blood back from the hospital lab.
I decided it was probably Beckett though. where I see him is on the cliff directly above the main buildings of the pier. in silhouette, usually.
I don't think I first spotted him for some weeks either, but it may be dependent on the timing of when you are there.
