On Eavesdropping, I thought I had found a secret in the room where they create the mechanist slaves. There was a little lever in the room so i though "ahh a secret :)"

I pulled the lever and it made the floor open up and I fell down into a pit of dead bodies. Then there was the usual comment of contempt for the mechanists from Garret ;). I also walked around in there instead of jumping out and I got bitten by the mosquiteos/flies. I eventually got out and pulled the lever again but I still go down there for some reason as it seems "fun" O_o

This didn't happen, but it quite easily could have:

On the thief 2 demo, when you read the book and the zombies appear, it is possible to actually kill them like normal humans i think, iirc (am I right?)

If I did not hear that zombies could not be killed unless exploded then I would have tried it on something like the masszombiesness in bonehoard - that would have bee a disaster. But I don't go round KOing and I never used to kill really anyway.

I used to play KOing everyone without them seeing me at all (it is kind of like ghosting mixed with assassinating, as nobody knows you are there until they are KOed and even then, they do not know what/who koed them :D

Anyway, I was doing that on Running Interferance - KOing all guards without alerting other ones. There came a problem when trying to get the one patrolling around the outside courtyard. The stone was always too noisey and I didn't use moss arrows (still don't) as they seem a bit silly :D I tried following him but I couldn't keep up without making noise. Eventually I learned of flying KO and I may have done that but I can't remember. Anyway, I don't really like that mission too much as it forces you to KO, because Basso is crap at ghosting and thieving hehehe

There was also a time on that level, using the Koing rules i set myself (no one should see a KO and bodies should be hidden - the thief should never be seen).
I alert the "forgot my tinder box" guards with a box against the window and then ran behind a door in the room just at the end.

I then attempted to hear when a guard was approaching and walking away, but this was very hard to do. Eventually I managed it after numerous attemps, but half the time you would mistakenly open the door infront of a guard :D or you would ko one, only for the next to come around the corner immediately afterwards. Hehehe.

This is way back on the thief 2 demo - I couldn't find the armoury at all - ever. I never did :D

also, on the bit where you can go into the sewers if you rope arrow up to the entrance, I kept trying to jump onto my rope arrow, but falling into the street below, hehe.

I think I fell off of the tight rope / flagpole / whatever once as well.

Bearing in mind all of this was ages ago and I can't remember realy ;) Thats why details are vague (esp what actually happened in the end of a situation as I really don't remember).

Well, the first thing I did in the Bafford mission (the first Thief mission I played) is charge the front gate. Does that count? :sweat:

Besides that, I would often try to use flash bombs to blackjack guards who had seen me. Problem is, they wouldn't work. Why? I kept throwing them behind the guards. :erm:

Ah, where to begin:

1. Didn't know how to use flashbombs to kill anything but zombies until just now.

2. Didn't realize you could blackjack apemen/ratemen(whatever those damn things in "Escape" are). Partially because I kept trying to jump down and blackjack one, and it would never work. I left a lot of bodies lying around that night.

3. Just the other night, I was playing "Shipping and Recieving" At the back of the complex, where, I started, there's that one guard with the long patrol route. I waited in the rather light shadows near the start, watching the guard SLOWLY walk her route. Eventually she passes me and the box I'm crouching near. I walk up, turn and prepare to smack her upside the head to get her out of the way, and low and behold she's turned around and now I'm very exposed. She proceeds to skewer me.

1. In Auldale, when I had to enter Drept's building by way of the window. I spent I don't know how long roaming around all of Auldale looking up for some hidden rooftop path. I never realized it would be just walking up to the big hammer window!

2. In Kidnapping for thief 2 ,I accidentely quicksaved as I was falling into lava. That was frustrating.
