  1. Wow! That was...well let's just say I am in the middle of playing through Dark Souls at the moment, and then I saw the article on RPS about standalone TDM, and I knew I had to give it a go, so I tried this mission, and it has distracted me from Dark Souls for most of 2 days, which is high praise. Probably heresy round these parts, but I was never a huge fan of the original Thief games. I have played, if not finished, all 3 but tended to get lost in some of the huge levels. I loved the atmosphere though, and the whole 'being a thief & not fighting' thing, all of which is present and correct here. This is the most perfectly realised, small-scale adventure I have played I think. The level design and layout is probably better than the original games, and the story is just brilliant - had me caring about these people I had never seen just from the writing. Deciding to Would really like a separate UI for reading notes/journals that didn't get in the way of all the useful tools/equipment, but I guess that's something the core mod deals with. Where the hell the 500-ish gold I missed was hidden I cannot even begin to imagine, but the way almost everything could be worked out via reading the, er, 'readables' and a bit of creative jumping was amazing. And the attention to detail was superb, even the stuff that was just flavour...or maybe there were clues to more gold? I thought I had stolen most of the servants' wages that had been hidden away in weird places, but obviously not;) One tiny gripe - would have sorted that out for me, but I was quite chuffed when I finally got it! Am a bit worried now all the other fan-made stuff might not be up to this standard, but am very glad TDM exists, 'cause this is my kind of game, and am going to try some more missions. Anyway, I know there's no donations or anything like that for TDM stuff 'cause it's all done for love of the game (which is super cool), but if there's something you (greyman) would like me to throw cash at that you want to support that i'm not fundamentally opposed to then that's the least I can do to thank you for this...and can't wait for part 2!
