Thats it. Thanks. :D The only name I could pull up was 'Murkbell', and I knew that wasn't right. Although, Murkbell Prison. . .could work! lol

Thanks all for the all the great info. Could have sworn at some point I had the older Thiefs in my huge pile of games, pc components, cables, heatsinks, etc. Will have to look through it all. Or maybe I got rid of Thief 1 and 2. :erm:

Yeah, one of my all time favorite games. An amazing action-RPG game. Awesome shader graphics too!
Sounds to me like my initial impression was right - Thief is WAY harder than Splinter Cell. In SC, and lack of stealth is easily and quickly overcome with the silenced 9mm. I spent some time in SC studying patrol routes but it sounds like that's required alot more in Thief.
I'll be playing with an X1950XT and a San Diego 4000+ clocked at 3.0Ghz with 2GB of RAM. Will definitely crank all eye candy.

All good advice, just remember, this is a thinking game. Enjoy. :)

I actually played Thief 3 first as well. I honestly think I trained myself to play on the demo, seeing as the game wasn't out when I learned about it. As strange as it sounds, I'm glad I did play the third game before the other two, because I had nothing to compare it against, and ended up enjoying it immensely, only to later be surprised by Thief 1 and 2 even more. Now Thief 3 isn't quite so fun for me, but all that matters is I did, in the end, enjoy the entire series.
I never found the game particularly hard. It's just about realizing the difference in playstyle for some games. I have not played Splinter Cell, so I can't really comment on the change from one series to another, though I can assure you the change from third person to first is a very dramatic change. If you're not already playing Thief in first person, try it. It's just how the series has been designed. You might also get used to saving and reloading. On a first time through the game, you ARE bound to get caught off guard a lot, and unfortunately, it can become very hard to recover from mistakes. Things like to snowball. And I suppose that's all I can really suggest. Just practice a bit more. You'll get it eventually.

That screenshot is from [SPOILER]the prison[/SPOILER] I believe.
Thanks, I have (intentionally) gone to the prison both times I played TDS, still that screen looks unfamiliar. Especially the beam of light from above and the fact that that cell to the left is so brightly lit seems strange to me. But ok, maybe I just forgot...

So you're saying you liked Thief 1 and 2 better than 3?

And you're strongly recommending I play it in 1st person? 3rd person is the default right?
BrokenArts on 6/5/2007 at 15:25
Yes, by default. I found in playing T3, I was using both 1st and 3rd person view, depends on the situation, and where I was. I mainly used 1st person view.
I would assume Kaiseto meant he enjoyed T1 and T2 better.
Kaiseto on 7/5/2007 at 04:44
Yes, that is indeed what I was saying.
