After being scared by the zombies and quitting when I was little, I'm now playing Thief as a grown up and it's badass. On level 3 now playing on Hard difficulty (I like the extra objectives in Expert, but I wanna break out the sword some times ;)). Love the level design... I recently completed Deus Ex 1 and I'm appreciating the number of approaches you can take to objectives in these games. Also refreshing to have nothing but a crude map of the area so you gotta work to know where you're at. Highly recommend grabbing a copy of this one on Steam if you haven't already.

2 is great but the levels get very huge and confusing. It's like a fan mod of the first game.

I love Garret's lines in that game, also the dialogue between guards, like the bear pit conversation

Awesome game all around

i absolutely could not deal with the zombies as a kid. they wouldn't go down to the blackjack and they'd get back up if you hit them with the sword and they made spooky noises and it Wasn't Fair!!!

i couldn't get anywhere in system shock 2 for the same reason. respawning zombies :(

Felt this way about the imp dudes in Hexen. I would just punch a stained glass window and hide in there punching all the ones that came at me until I built up the courage to move on.

Yah. I wish holy water was for arrows instead of time-limited cause you gotta lead them all through tiny corridors to use it efficiently.

I'm excited to check out T2 caue i never touched it. Also it's making me want to finally play Dishonored.

Also it's freaking insane that some guys developed an entire Thief mission toolkit on Doom 3 engine. Might have to check that out.

if your playing gold edition theres no shame in cheating to skip the thieves guild op. its very confusing and the only way to win on hard involves stealing almost every piece of gold on the level includong hidden treasures

yeah its worth trying still, you'll probably just end up hitting a point that breaks your spirit and makes you want to quit and it fine to cheat to skip the level at that point. since its from thief gold its not even related to the story so its not like youre missing anything.

Dishonored definitely scratches that itch, but you get much more powerful in dishonored, especially after the early game. Which isn't necessarily good or bad; it just emphasized the "master assassin" feeling more than the "undetectable infiltrator" feeling of Thief

here's a video of some guys from otherside entertainment playing and discussing thief: https://www.twitch.tv/otherside_entertainment/v/30471476

it's a new company founded by paul neurath, the founder and creative director of the company that developed the system shock series, ultima underworld series, and thief series. they have a bunch of veteran developers who worked on those and also warren spector, the designer of deus ex. currently they're working on a modern crowdfunded ultima underworld game.

they have similar videos of other games like dishonored and dark messiah of might and magic on youtube and twitch. very interesting discussions and i wish other developers would do the same.
