Yes, I meant TDP, but actually TDP Gold. I'm one of those people that wishes they would've left the fire mages out of the Lost City in the Gold version, so it felt more desolate like in the original.
You know, a lot of the stuff in that mission I really enjoyed was more akin to adventure playing, and not solely stealth playing. I love the intelligent exploratory parts. TDP was a mix up of stealth, action, adventure, fantasy and great story. Maybe the amount of styles is one of the main reasons I always found its appeal very long lasting.
Garrett's one liners are the best I think in TDP.
I wholeheartedly agree, particularly with respect to the exploration levels - Bonehoard is another favorite. Funny thing is, I can remember at the time of Thief 2's release thinking that answering the fans' call for unwavering focus on stealth was a brilliant idea, but in recent years I've found the diversity of mission design in TDP much more engaging . . . and the movies are absolutely spellbinding.

It's interesting that Eidos' "meddling" ended up having a positive effect on TDP by getting ttlg to widen the scope a bit with exploration and supernatural monsters; also a great testament to the team's passion that they were able to turn purely commercial input into beautiful things - burricks, bonehoard, etc!

The moment it got billed as a next-gen AAA title, we knew it was going to be dross. But, I'm betting there will still be at least a few slices of enjoyable gameplay to mine out.

There's way too much silly swagger during the "[Erin died] . . . I'll never forget it." line. And the way the cowl squishes his mouth and facial muscles together, seemingly affecting his voice, strikes me as blatantly (Bale) Batman.
I do think the UI-shorn gameplay has at least some semblance of legitimacy, though.
Thief 4 is trash.

Yea, who would ever have expected that from a AAA outfit that makes a habit of boasting about just how AAA it is?
