That sounds really neat actually. I don't think it'd be very hard to add, either, it's just some hidden assets that show themselves a bit after it starts raining. Roughly the same as river and waterfall effects, just at funny scales. It'd be a rather large amount of work to place all of them if it's a big game with a lot of roofs and gutters, but still a good use of time compared to some of the crap AAA games throw artists at.

Sounds terrifying to try to do in a procedural game though.

Well, crytek managed to do it with Hunt Showdown this past event and it looked amazing. Not sure how different creation and cryengine are, though it was my understanding implementing rain into Hunt was considered impossible before.
