This is my first time playing a TDM. It was a little hard to get used to the differences in TDM and Thief. The character doesn't have the skills that Garrett has, unfortunately. Thank you Fidcal and Southa for all your efforts. Managed to play through to the mansion, and eventually the basement. I entered the code correctly to open the door, frobbed the key from the guard and went upstairs for another key to the basement. Entered the basement and doused all the lights without being seen. Those horrible creatures are after me and I don't seem to have a chance. How do I take them all out? I used my bombs in the police station. Do I have to use the formula found in the book to proceed for the health potion, or is it on one of the tables in the basement? What else do I need to do in the basement to complete the game? One thing I object to is the time it takes to use the lockpicks to open doors and chests. That discouraged me, so some of the doors I didn't try to open since I have my total in loot and completed the other objectives. The expression on the face of the fallen is eerie. Such realism.
