Task is not so much to see what no one has yet seen but to think what nobody has yet thought about that which everybody see. - E.S.

Ive just finished replaying DS1, now on KOD, then TBMW, then play DS2 and Emily.

 

Many I would love to create a fan based level for DS1

I sure as hell would love to, as well. It's such a shame most games don't get official level editors or modding support. At least we've got a level editor for Alekhine's Gun, that's closest to an official level editor for Hitman as we can get.

I, personally, believe that the bank mission in Death of the Outsider is an homage to the corresponding mission in Thief 2. Also, it's a hint to the Thief 2014 developers, like "That's how a bank mission should've been implemented".

Bank mission in T2014 was good but really simple :P

 

DX Mankind Divided has the best bank mission of the last years IMHO.

Really simple? Agreed. Good? I'm not sure. IMO, it was a cheap knock-off "We did what you wanted, can we please go home?" fan-service mission, no offense :).

I must admit that that mission was good, maybe really good, but I'm still not sure that it was the best one. I vote for the DotO's corresponding mission ;).

Part of the lacklustering of the bank heist mission in Thief 2014 comes from the fact that their engine has the worst trap mechanics implementation ever. It would have been a pretty solid and satisfying mission if they had some properly implemented physics-based traps like they are possible (although rarely realized) in TDM.

Think we will ever get to go to Pandyssia in a future game, and see the amazing Natural Wonders?

That would be nice, but who knows... Dishonored 2 has been sold more-less good on PS4 (1.78m), Steam (1.04m), XBO (0.77m), but perhaps Bethesda wanted more than that. Plus, looks like DotO is weak enough, in terms of commercial success. So I'm not sure about Dishonored 3, though I'd love to play it very much :) - the universe is huge and can be expanded in any direction.

No wonder. The kids rather want fast, easy, and shallow these days. Let's hope they won't rape (or cease) yet another stealth franchise.

Seriously, fuck these scumbag companies! And yes, the fact that many people would rather play COD, GTA, Minecraft, Nintendo games etc. than a single fucking stealth game. Makes my efforts to promote my mods harder.

I reached the Dust District about 2 years ago but then got into Fallout 4 so this game got shelved. Now I'm replaying from where I reached but rather rusty. I got into Aramis Stilton's place and completed that mission but had to do a lot of ko's and kills as stealth seemed too tough switching with that time machine thing. Anyway, nNow I'm near the start of the next mission, Grand Palace, which is numbered 8 on the display. So...

If this is the 8th mission, how far have I got in the game? Half way? Is there a progress list anywhere in the menus?

I've been stuck near the start of this mission for hours. I finally managed to disable that watch tower searchlight thing. But I can't see how to get past the electric gate thing (whose name I forget.) I vaguely recall about a rewire tool. Or is there another way round?

How can I tell if I've even got a rewire tool? Where in the menus does one look? Add to that, I recall finding loads of 'special' one-off objects which felt like 'loot' rather than tools but I can't find any list of them anywhere. Are they just converted to cash automatically?

If I've got a rewire tool (and if I haven't where can I get one or is there another way round) but if I've got one, I can't see where to use it. I got fairly close to the gate and used the scope but in the tutorial there's something like a control panel to the side in the picture but I can't see that in the game so maybe that's on the other side for coming back out?

I'm playing this on 'easy' and trying as ever for stealth. Frankly I think it's an insult to call this easy! It's an endless series of alert - quick load - alert - quick load (but the quick load is really slow and doesn't even work if you actually die! I mean, who thought that one up! You have to access the load menu and select the quick save and then confirm then the long wait... I reckon in 6 or 8 hours gaming on this I've spent 15 to 20 minutes waiting! (sometimes play a desktop game on my side monitor while waiting!<groan> I need more practice but even so...

Great game but complex so frustrating until you develop skills. Flashy menus but not that clear where or what everything is!

1 mission left (the 9th). Dishonored 2 is terribly short (It's THAT game, the game you'd like to be neverending :P )

 

Rewire tool is for alarm, not the electrice fence.

      Hello, Since this track is originally from TDM,i think it's better to ask here than TTLG. Do you guys have the full version of this ambient track?

      Bachelor Mapping Challenge!
      The girlfriend will be away to her mum's place for almost a week, which means more mapping time for me! I'm planning a speed build. Hope it will go my way
      I'm starting by downloading 2.11. Don't know if I'm going to use any fancy new stuff. Just want to crack those itching map muscles that has gone dry and dead since almost a year's worth of no-mapping

      The cool part of Canonical's Snap, is that my machine can now ray-trace an entire (simple) scene faster than it takes the web browser to start!

      Fm idea (braindump)
      "Experience the life of a mission builder"
      Esentially there are finnished elements placed somewhere in storage in the game and you have to place them in the correct places, build some walls here and there, add guard routes, give them their correct speech lines, etc. Decorate the places.. all in-game. lots of fun.. 😉
      If you do it right in the end you can play the mission.
      (would be even cooler if a thief-ai could play the mission, making it some kind of tower-defence game)
       
      This first started as an idea for an aquarium builder mission where-in you have to fill an empty aquarium with sand, waterplants, castles water and swimming fish. But above idea is more fun.

      Dear ChatGPT, What are The Builders in the Dark Mod?
       
      The Builders is a popular game mode in the video game community called "Dark Mod," which is a fan-made tribute to the classic "Thief" series of stealth games. In this game mode, players assume the role of builders who construct structures in a dark and ominous environment while trying to avoid detection by patrolling guards.
      The Builders game mode is unique in that it offers players the opportunity to create and design their own levels using the in-game tools and resources provided. Players can experiment with different building materials, construct intricate traps and puzzles, and create their own unique gameplay experiences.
      While The Builders game mode is not an official part of the Dark Mod, it has become one of the most popular and well-loved aspects of the game, thanks to its emphasis on creativity, strategy, and stealth.
       
      You guys did not know that, did you?
