I was searching the sound files that come with the editor and I found (

But I've found nothing related to it in T3Ed or in-game. They just thought about making it but never made it? Interesting though, this could be cool if made in some fan mission.

Interesting find. Do you suppose it was from a mission that got cut early in development? I wonder if any of the devs could shed light on this.

It was supposed to be in Auldale, because all the sound files starting with gar15* are heard in Auldale.

I remember the Juliet potion and its function, but I don't recall specifically how it fit into the game. I'm too young to be getting alzheimers!
It was a quest item that would allow Garrett to fake his own death for some reason. I believe it was going to lead into a mission that ended up getting cut, but I don't recall the details regarding it or the mission it was associated with.

Interesting! Clever choice of name, too, it took me a minute to get it.
[spoiler]It couldn't have had anything to do with The Cradle, could it? Garrett finishes that level by faking his death.[/spoiler]
Admittedly that level doesn't connect into Auldale (if memory serves), and I don't see how it would help in escaping from The Cradle, since it's a place and not a person that you're fighting -when you woke up, you'd still be there! I guess that could be one reason why the potion was cut; what you actually have to do in that level makes more sense and is much more dramatically effective than drinking a potion. :)

I can think of more than a few uses for it, one of which gives me a fairly interesting idea for an FM (which I won't get into here).
I thought it might have had something to do with the Widow Moira's request that you get her a drink, initially. That or drugging a guard/noble to cause a distraction or something.

I heard that there was supposed to be a return to the Maw of Chaos...but it was cut. ;)

Yeah, that is a pretty cool idea.
Some good potential there ... stow-away opportunities.
I can't help getting ideas either.

Very nifty idea, the name's especially good. Too bad it got cut out of the game though. I wonder what stage it got cut out at, considering that voice clip was recorded for it.
I also wonder what mission it was supposed to lead into, as the only one I know about that was cut was one called "The Grave"

Heh, it's hard not to think you just answered your own question. Sounds logical to me.
