stumpy 241 Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 (edited) I've not played 'rose cottage' but I think they've nicked idea's from other fan missions. or nicked ideas from planed mission but not relesed or hinted at missions but not released.

brethren 196 Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 (edited) Playing chapter 5 and I see they stole an idea from our very own Saturnine from his mission 'Rose Cottage' But you're not going to tell us what that is..? If it's the mannequin thing, that's been done before in other games prior to Rose Cottage. Edited March 6, 2014 by brethren Quote Link to post Share on other sites

brethren 196 Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 NuFans suck. Look at all this information I see no hardcore defender of Thiaf bothered to notice: The game's been out a little over a week. I think most fans are still working on finishing the game. And to be honest, the majority of Thief fans (old or now) aren't nearly as pedantic as you are. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Springheel 4613 Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 SHROUD Cloth Simulation Engine I raised an eyebrow over that too. Tell me if I'm crazy, but I vaguely remember a description of the HUD where the edges of the screen were supposed to be darkened by Garrett's hood, which he put on whenever he went into some kind of stealth mode. Did I just dream that or does someone else remember the same thing? 1 Quote TDM Missions: A Score to Settle * A Reputation to Uphold * A New Job * A Matter of Hours Video Series: Springheel's Modules * Speedbuild Challenge * New Mappers Workshop * Building Traps Link to post Share on other sites
Grubber 7 Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 I raised an eyebrow over that too. I decided to go on a killing spree to vent some thi4f frustration at the nearest guards. When i made a frontal headshot i got to watch.... ARROWCAM! I raised two eyebrows at that! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lux 206 Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 (edited) I shot a guy in the forehead yesterday (focus mode off and no arrow cam), and I have to admit it was pretty satisfying watching him keel over like a log with half the arrow jutting out the back of his head, the feathers perched against his forehead.

Jeez, and to think I've been called sadistic in the past. Your calling card could be taking away the shaft and leaving the fletching on your victim's forehead. Probably shouldn't give you any ideas, actually. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bikerdude 3740 Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 So many times now I have killed every damn Ai around me because they keep repeating the same fucking lines over and over and over again, but then to maintain the no-kill moral code I do a quick load.

Haha, I do that with TDM. If I get discovered by somebody in a particularly annoying way, I'll rail them with a broadhead and then load. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grubber 7 Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 Yesterday i acted by instinct without thinking like the pro acrobat that i am, climbing on the ledge of a walkway to mantle towards the next higher walkway. Except i was playing Thi4f and not TDM. So it was decided that i could not mantle on the ledge but instead i had to be mantling over the ledge and down i went towards the pavement below. Which was ok because i landed on some woman. Who thought i was assailing her and quickly ran to the guards. No problem since i'm a highly skilled escapist. By the time she reached the guards i was safe lurking in the dark, many streets away. However since this was thi4f i still lost. The game finally remembering that i had specified that molesting civilians was not to be allowed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Springheel 4613 Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 That was real. Nic Cantin talked about that. Someone quoted it and I read it just yesterday, myself. So my conspiracy theory is that they had some agreement with "SHROUD Cloth Simulation Engine" to use their tech for that hood idea, but it didn't work for whatever reason (hood is too opaque?). But because of the agreement, they were obligated to keep it active in the engine, so they made it into a smokey haze instead with no option to disable.

Jinix 19 Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 I wonder if new players are having those amazing thrills that TG and TMA gave me - of REALLY being Garrett and hiding in absolute fear of Hammers, guards and all the other Thiefy enemies and escaping via rope arrows, mantling and waterways etc. Personally I'll not bother with this new version of Thief - for two reasons1. I don't want to as it's just not my 'cup-of-tea'... I have not seen anything in the videos and walkthru's that draw me in.2. I don't want my previous (and continuing) fun with previous Thiefs and TDM ruined forever with this nu-age teen game concept. As this new version has nothing to do with the previous games whatsoever, I don't know why they did not give it a new name.Had they called it another name and developed a new character instead, the game would not have old Thief payers up in arms about not being faithful to the Looking Glass classics. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RavenShore 22 Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Thief reboot seems to play like hitman: absolution with all the cool stuff darkened and emo-ified, and strange tributes to the old games including that awkward rope arrow business. I saw in a video today this guy was in a room looting each and every drawer, for a knife, a fork, and a pair of scissors. That didnt bother me, what bothered me was when he went to the dresser and started open the tiny boxes. One had a broadhead arrow. In a tiny box on a dresser?! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
