I saw the prerelease videos of this when someone was orgasming and making topics of it a while back. Quite frankly it didn't look like thief at all. It looked like a "kill everything but you can use a bow and arrow and 'traps'" type game. I also read in another topic that it was corridoory, which goes with the territory really heh.
Tell me this - can you ghost in it?

I'd like to know that as well, can it be ghosted. I need more ram before I can even think about buying that game.
Very cool little tidbit of info on the Scarlet letter G, somehow that totally amused me.

No it can't, not even slightly. It's focused on combat.

The way they designed and implemented the Rope Arrows was the high point for me. While the game is indeed focused on combat, it presents a virtual reality in which you can explore in very similar ways to The Dark Project. Not to mention that the Level designs lend themselves to this sort of exploration. You just don't see it used to this degree in many games. Nods abound to TDP, such as the quote "inside at last", Garrett's mantling "grunt" in multi-player, and the "G" to name a few. Yet David is right. If you are not a fan of fast paced action games, you probably won't get very attached to the game. If you are, however; this game is a must have.

The demo discouraged me, though I was excited about this game. The combat system just wasn't my cup of tea.

parts of it, you needed to sneek up (thief style) on creatures and kill-em...

There is also pickpocketing but it's so utterly useless I doubt if anyone has used it.

No Dark Messiah is not a thieving game, you can steal and sneak in but is not a main trait of this game.

DM is simalar in gameplay feel more then it is of anything to thief. i think it would be vary easy and cool to see someone take M&M DM and edit it the core of the game adding the ability to hid in shadows, and change the AI then you could have a new thief game/mod. FM for that would be sweet, the look of the source engine is clean cut just like the old TDP engine. if i had the time on my hands i would start a new thief mod made out of the source engine.
