The one issue I have with T2X (heard of that one already in the past) is the female protagonist. Call me old fashioned, but, I only gel with male protagonists, being a male and all that, I can identify better with a male protagonist. One of the few exceptions to that is Tomb Raider. But, especially in a Thief game, I want to play a guy.

I just finished The Black Parade (it was really nice), and, now I kind of tasted blood. You guys know some top notch fan missions for either game, which I should play? They should be of similar quality as the missions in The Black Parade. I frankly have no idea about the mission makers in Thief and Thief 2, so, I have to ask. I know that Melan did some missions for TG and TMA, but, frankly, I liked his TDM missions better. With the other mission authors, I have no idea.

Just FYI: You just replied to a more than 4 and a half year old post. Posted by a member who was last seen online here more than 4 and a half years ago.

I find that pixelated look silly as well. If then do it like Gloomwood: Less detailled graphics. But, not that ridiculous Minecraft look. Don't think it would actually bother me that much in game though.

Is that Thief Gold or Thief 2? Make sure you do the following: Install Thief Gold. Start Thief Gold one time, if you have it on Steam, so that it creates/updates the install.cfg. Install TFix (preferrably the Lite version, as, obviously, some mods don't play well with the full TFix with mods). Set up Thief after that, resolution, control scheme etc. Then open the cam_mod.ini in the Thief Gold root directory, and remove the ";" before "fm" in the "always start the FM Selector (if one is present)" section. Next time you start Thief Gold, it should show you the FMsel loader (and, hopefully that error message is gone), which lets you load the FM.

As far as I understand (and as it is for sale on Steam), it already is released.

I don't see a lot of stealth gameplay either. The graphics are alright, no issue with that. Guess I'll buy it.

Just FYI: Humble Bundle has Sony Vegas Pro Edit 19 for very little money on offer: https://www.humblebundle.com/software/vegas-pro-creative-frontier-bundle-software?hmb_source=&hmb_medium=product_tile&hmb_campaign=mosaic_section_1_layout_index_1_layout_type_threes_tile_index_2_c_vegasprocreativefrontierbundle_softwarebundle

Grats to the release. Will be the next thing I play after I finished The Black Parade.

Sorry, I confused the TTLG users then. I'm about 2/3 of the first mission of this campaign. It's great, fantastic level design. Difficulty is nice, not too hard. Haven't encountered any bugs thus far, although the ability to roll back banners seem a bit glitchy. I guess you have to approach them from a specific angle (to the right of the banner). Overall, really impressive. I have only ever played 2 or 3 Thief 2 fan missions, and, they weren't nearly on this level.

I just found out that this is by the guy who did level design for Dishonored (for the Flooded District levels, I think?), which raised my interest level from low to very high. Never really played FMs on Thief Gold or Thief 2, so, I'll have to check out how it works again...

New vid for some of the upcoming content:

Looks like an interesting game. I'll buy when it is cheaper.

Nothing wrong with that. It's been a while.

... and it forced you to play the same area again and again and again. Well, to each his own, but, that's not a gameplay that I enjoy.

You're right, of course. Apologies.

I know an awesome way to restrict saves, which works in every mission: Just save when and where you want to. I know, I know, people who want to be restricted need to be restricted by the mission or the game. Unfortunately, that also restricts the people who want to save. So, it's pretty much a lose for one side (most likely the bigger side), instead of a win-win with the save system the game provides.

I loved it. Awesome game. I faceplanted at the people who asked for quest markers in the Steam forums there... Herr, lass Hirn regnen. The game is so great, and so true to the original, because it doesn't hold your hand. When is the new breed of gamers gonna learn.

It absolutely is. No coincidence that a member of this forum talked about "System Shock 3" in regards of Prey.

Both are quite good.

Shame on me, I played that one not long ago, and don't remember.

Why not just implement lethal and non-lethal mission objectives, like in Dishonored? That should already be possible in TDM. I agree that killing should always be the last option. It always was in the original Thiefs. "Killing is the mark of the amateur". Although I'd also refrain from these inhumane non-lethal options in Dishonored... turning the genius into a retard, or cutting someones tongue out, and letting him work in a mine for the rest of his life seems more inhumane than just killing him. At least I felt pretty evil doing that.

It would be great if you guys could use the spoiler tag in your posts, as some of us haven't played the mission yet...

The spambots are getting better. Even a more or less realistic thread title.

I like the last two of those (bottom right). Especially the second last. Would work nicely in TDM, IMO.
