On Hard, the third stool is right outside the library in the sitting area. On Expert, it's in Philip's room. And other stools won't work, since the three special stools are "curiously heavy" so they trigger the pressure plates. And no there is no button inside to open it as far as I recall.

Really impressive mission, lovely windows, architecture, evidence of partying, and such lovely light cast through doorways when open - and dark when closed!
Are there no bonus objectives? I would like to do something mean to the guard captain, and I wonder how the bet about Benny not passing out turned out... Maybe I will in a later mission?

You'll just have to wait and see. I think a lot of time was spent on presenting the Captain character for him not to figure into things later on, don't you think?

The office key is in a hidden wall safe in his bedroom, to the left of the bed behind the picture. The key to that safe is in his bathroom.

I load mission 1 near the end, then take the mission to the end normally, then "continue" to Mission 2, but Mission 2 crashes each time as the opening cut scene tries to load.
Three times now.
Four.
More.
I had no such problems with mission 1 (although I did encounter the crash with the conversation between the Hammerite and the guard as described in a post in the thread for mission 1).
Help. I really want to play this.
FYI:
Windows XP
Radeon 7750 graphics card
New Dark 1.25
AMD processor
2 gig RAM

Try something. In your Thief2 folder, open the strings folder and then open the file "missflag.str" in Notepad. Look for these lines:
Code:
...
miss_16: "skip"
miss_17: "no_briefing"
miss_18: "no_briefing"
...
and change the miss_17 line to "skip" also, like so:
Code:
...
miss_16: "skip"
miss_17: "skip"
miss_18: "no_briefing"
...
Save it, then restart T2 and start a new game instead of loading a save. It should start with mission 2 now, and perhaps it won't crash. If it does, look for the files crash.dmp and thief2.log and ZIP them up and get me a link or email them to me.
