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.

The Daily Telegraph gives it a savaging only a literate newspaper can accomplish.   Also, there is this bit!

With regards to being able to jump/mantle everywhere as opposed to only at set areas, some argue that having complete freedom of movement might allow the player to get somewhere that was not considere

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.

A skunk was badgered--the results were strong.

I hope that something better comes along.

Maybe it's a reference to the Shroud of Turin and we are not looking too deeply into things.

Come the time of peril, did the ground gape, and did the dead rest unquiet 'gainst us. Our bands of iron and hammers of stone prevailed not, and some did doubt the Builder's plan. But the seals held strong, and the few did triumph, and the doubters were lain into the foundations of the new sanctum. -- Collected letters of the Smith-in-Exile, Civitas Approved

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.

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?

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 reasons

1. 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.

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?! :P

      I posted about it before, but I think the default tdm logo video looks outdated. For a (i.m.o.) better looking version, you can download the pk4 attached to this post and plonk it in your tdm root folder. Every mission that starts with the tdm logo then starts with the better looking one. Try for example mission COS1 Pearls and Swine.

      I finished DOOM - The Dark Ages the other day. It is a decent shooter, but not as great as its predecessors, especially because of the soundtrack.
