Thief love letters?

Hey everyone. It's been quite a while since last time I was around here... :)

 

I was wondering, since we're all likely fans of the Thief series here, if anyone knows/remembers if there were any love letters in any of the thief series. If so, I would like to read them, and mayhap quote them to a certain girl in my life, if I find them useful. :)

 

At the very least I'm looking for inspiration for medieval fantasy sonnets.

 

I think I remember there being correspondence between lovers, but my memory is not of love letters but of intrigue... I was wondering if there are any in TDM missions as well.

 

Problem is that googling "thief [tdp/tma/tds/series] love letters", doesn't yield useful results...

 

Wouldst thou helpest me, gratefulness shall befall upon me.

:)

You are better off looking for Lord Byron, Shakespeare, Edgar Allan Poe on the topic.

 

Most text in Thief/TDM is inspired by these authors or their contemporaries.

 

Concerning Sonnets - the best ones would be the ones coming from Spain. Shakespeare had some classics too if I'm not mistaken.

"I really perceive that vanity about which most men merely prate — the vanity of the human or temporal life. I live continually in a reverie of the future. I have no faith in human perfectibility. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active — not more happy — nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago. The result will never vary — and to suppose that it will, is to suppose that the foregone man has lived in vain — that the foregone time is but the rudiment of the future — that the myriads who have perished have not been upon equal footing with ourselves — nor are we with our posterity. I cannot agree to lose sight of man the individual, in man the mass."...

- 2 July 1844 letter to James Russell Lowell from Edgar Allan Poe.

Why not just write your own? It's not that hard.

To be honest, it would mean more to your gf if you wrote it. To write something like that, you just put yourself in their position n imagine what they would like to hear. Soppy doesn't work though. lol

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?

      Hope everyone has the blessing of undying motivation for "The Dark Mod 15th Anniversary Contest". Can't wait to see the many magnificent missions you all may have planned. Good luck, with an Ace!
