  1. Just thought I would chime in and say that I finally nagged one of my friends hard enough to try TDM, and that they had a really good experience! They displayed a tendency for murder at first, but I eventually managed to convince them to try being a bit more stealthy. They had a lot of fun with A New Job (and avoided the bug, although I did forewarn them that it might occur).

     

    On the topic of the desk bug (and the name bug), I think it will definitely be important to have it fixed by the time the game releases on steam. At the very least a separate build should be put up if there is no desire to fix it through the regular updater until 2.06.

    Wouldn't it be relatively easy to update through the updater though? Aside from the difficulty creating a new build, doesn't it work on a differential basis? I didn't have to download the whole game again when I patched from 2.04... Changing just one mission should be a small update.

  2. Another issue, this time with the Tears of St. Lucia update:

     

    How do I open this grate?

    That's a screenshot from a video I found on YouTube from 2013, with the grate open and enterable. In the new version I don't seem to be able to interact with it any more, which is unfortunate since i'm trying to do the mission without any KOs (is the first guard the only "necessary" KO?). On another note, I can't load the original version anymore... It restarts the game with no mission loaded if I select it.

     

    If I did have to KO the first guard, what'd be the best way to do it on the highest audio/visual difficulties? I haven't been able to sneak up to him because of where he's standing.

     

     

  3. I really enjoyed this level - I played it through twice, bumbling through the first time but I managed a stealth score of 2 the second time around! My only regret was that I (probably unnecessarily) turned off/extinguished a few lights. But now I'm wondering what else is available in a similar vein to this level - high quality, focused FMs that require a lot of learning like this one does.

    Also, is it actually possible to BJ the helmeted guards? I know it was discussed up above, but I was under the impression that the helmets with the chainmail coif couldn't be KO'd? I'm still pretty new to the Thief games/TDM, so I wouldn't be surprised that I'm just doing it wrong or misinterpreting what the wiki has to say on the subject.
