Sure, sure... some thief you be. Real thieves work alone! (and get scared shitless by zombies and the like, nonetheless :cheeky: )

I've gone through the whole game myself so far. I'm just about to the end. I was going to get a friend to Rob the Cradle with me, but I got through it faster than I thought I would.

OMFG, I just got into the inner section, creeping around avoiding most of them and then I turn round and bang this thing shrieks in my face. I jump like hell and scream and my brother is like What the fuck happened to you?
That totally happend to me! I was babysitting at my own house and the little 8year old girl (who had been playing video games with my brother) came up to watch me play Thief. I had just unlocked a door and could hear one of the puppet brutes weezing somewhere in the dark. I tried to manuver myself to open the door slowly when all at once the supposedly 'dead' monster leaps up and jumps at me, shrieking! Freaked the Hell out of my and the kid;) I learned to use Holy Water after that, so they stay down for good.

And Dia, as you know, I can't stand a single spider. I'll march foward holy water flying, sword swinging, right into an army of Haunts, Zombies, Apperations, Fire Shadows. I'll sneak by with Haunts mere inches from my body without breaking a sweat. But the momment I hear the hissing or clicking of a spider, my blood freezes and I go wide eyed, and I start trying to lure it out using noisemaker arrows so I can take them out from a distance.
Ditto on that. I could give two shits about the undead for the most part, other than as a potential threat just like the guards, but spiders? Brrr. I spent more time hovering and peeking around corners in the Thief games when I heard spiders, than for any undead I encountered anywhere in the games.
Playing System Shock2 now, and the same goes there too. I HATE arachnids. (Although I am learning to hate monkeys just as much...)
Buck up fellow Taffers, we all have our fears. Conquering them only makes us stronger...

Cradle is really scary, and you know when I leapt out of that window, I really shouted "FREEDOM"

The one about the blood vial being warm or if you go back to the storm cellar entrance.. even he sounds a bit rattled
Its worse if you actually have handles a test tube of warm blood before, it multiplies the 'freaky' value by 10

Imagine how scared I was when I turned on the light
Thief is the only game where you can say that. The shadows are you friend.
What got me was the ticking at the lobby its just so creepy.
That level is one of the best - EVER!

Yeah, the ticking in the lobby is scary, but also those weird cherub faces on the wall, they are so freaky when they are lit up with that ghostly light... its horrible!

Has anyone really killed any of those brown walking "zombies?" they just fall down and then I´m too scared to go anywhere near it. What if it gets up?? Why can´t they just perish in to ashes like normal zombies... And I don´t have any holy water.. I think I´m in big trouble here.:tsktsk:
Oh shit this place is scary!!! i can´t play too long at a time or I´m gettin all swetty and red from my face an hands... thank god my boyfriend haven´t been scaring me for a while...

You mean the residents in thier rotting jacket thingies? Well, it depends what you killed em with (note that holy water isnt the only thing that kills undead), though they might get back up again to haunt you. I'd just be careful to backstab em in some out of the way corner so as not to walk over them again.

Turning on the power in the basement was one of the worst momments for me. I was constantly expecting something to jump out at me - and I was sure if anything was going to trigger it, it'd be me restoring power. So when the big generator went on and power was restored, I was bracing for the worst. The level did a fantastic job of absolutely pumping up the tension, bringing you to the conclusion that at any momment something horrible was going to happen, bringing you to the brink of insanity.
