Favorites
T1 - Like much of the undead and mansion parts but hated the Hammer and Pagan levels. Favorites are Song of the Caverns, Down in the Bonehoard, The Haunted Cathedral, The Sword, and Assassins. Least favorite is Escape, followed by Strange Bedfellows and Thieves' Guild (fun at the casino and the two bases but the unending maze of boring passages ruined it)
T2 - Like every level, even Soulforge to a degree. The best is definitely Life of the Party, then Trail of Blood, Framed, and the Bank. The worst was Casing the Joint for the forced objectives, though I think its a decent mission. Soulforge is too big for a final mission but I've never had that much trouble completing it.
T3- It has four great missions, everything else was meh. My favorite is a tie between Widow Moira or Brethren and Betrayer for their awesome atmosphere. Cradle is also good but it just feels like a smaller and less fun version of Return to the Cathedral. I personally think Still Life With Blackjack is a little overrated, it not very exciting for robbing a museum that is supposed to have lots of security. I don't really have any least favorites, the rest are just mediocre missions. The city levels suck though, with the exception of Fort Ironwood, where you can make plenty of zombie vs Hammer battles.

T1
Assassins- I love the architecture of Olde Quarter and the mission is a blast
Thieves Guild- A restaurant harboring a gambling den and a sewer system connecting two houses, fun fun fun
Songs of the Caverns- The opera house is fun to romp through and well designed
T2
Framed- Always wanted to go through a police station
First City Bank And Trust- You rob a bank finally, nuff said
Life of the Party- The demo of this made me the taffer I am today (first mission I ever played).
T3
Robbing the Cradle- Genius mission of horror
The Museum- Always wanted to rob a museum
The Keeper Compound- Cool place
Disliked
T1
The Mage Towers- Good idea, but too repeatitive
Escape- It has the coolest objective ever: If you want to survive, you need to get out of here, but to this day, it annoys me and still frightens me (the spider's sounds freak me out).
T2
Running Interference- I liked the level design, but the premise of it sucked. I honestly wasn't dragged into Thief 2 until the next mission.
Markham's Isle- I just didn't like the place. I mean, cool, a submarine, but still, it left me with a sour taste.
T3
Gamall's Lair- Too many damn statues.

Running Interference? That's a standard mansion crawl. Should be right up your alley.
It is! It is a good mission, but when you compare it with others, something is, well "missing." I think it's because it is a bit too easy, even on expert. But hey, that's what first levels of every game are like. My faves and dislikes in Thief constantly change.

Thief Gold
Favorite:
1. Return to the Cathedral (terrific atmosphere, great stealth mission)
2. The Haunted Cathedral (good atmosphere, well designed)
3. Song of the Caverns (nice house mission, lots of loot and secrets to discover)
Least liked:
1. Escape! (strange mission layout, fairly linear)
2. Into the Maw of Chaos (too easy for a final mission, lame show-down)
3. Thieves' Guild (confusing layout, boring architecture and environment)
Thief II
Favorite:
1. Life of the Party (fabulous design, lots of burgling and roof-hopping)
2. Sabotage at Soulforge (great mission design, challenging)
3. Framed (great stealth mission, nice mission layout)
Least liked:
1. Trail of Blood (too easy, too linear)
2. Ambush! (far worse city mission than LotP, a bit boring)
3. Trace the Courier (strange mission concept, too easy on Normal and Hard)
Thief: Deadly Shadows
Favorite:
1. Robbing the Cradle (superb horror mission, too easy once you get the hang of it, however)
2. Still Life with Blackjack (lots of loot, good mansion mission)
Least liked:
1. The Sunken Citadel (strange enemies, peculiar mission design)
2. End of the Bloodline (weak first mission, not believable castle layout)

Thief: The Dark Project
The Sword, Cragscleft, Assassins, Baffords, Undercover, Bedfellows, Escape, All the stuff with Ratmen, Bugbeast, Craymen...
I didn't care for any of the Undead stuff but was fascinated with it, nonetheless.
Thief: Gold
I happen to love Song of the Caverns. I mean, the Hermit? Priceless. :sly:
Thief: the Metal Age
A pretty fair forgery.
Thief: Deadly Shadows
I liked the music right away, big plus. At first, I was satisfied with the atmosphere. In fact, only two things insulted me the most. The whole Rope Arrow/Ladder package. The restriction of movement whilst boarding Ladders, is very unsettling in light of the bigger picture of movement "restriction". The second was the Climbing Gloves. I climbed a total of 4 walls. The first three, at places that seemed key, I went straight up and couldn't get on top of anything. The fourth time was to hide from a Guard chasing me! Realising how obviously easy this was, I spent about a half hour up there, just thinking things through...
That was the last moment I snuck through a single shadow. :) I never even finished the damn game! :p
EDIT ~ I suppose, to be fair, I *did* enjoy destroying that Docks area in particular. Destroying The Cradle was fun too, as well as that Widows place. Good atmosphere in that one! :)

When I played TG, I loved the whole thing so much I could never pick just one OM over another! I was totally astounded by the entire game! I'm trying to figure out how to play it again on my computer as it's configured now. I keep getting some funky error or something... (Before I'm forced by the elite into the fiery death spiral of newbie-land, I will check on other threads for possible solutions to this horrifying dilemna! :angel: )
As for TMA: I'd have to say Life of the Party. That was too fun! :p
As for TDS: I'd have to say Robbing the Cradle. Terribly freaky! (I seriously enjoy being scared out of my mind! EEK!!!):eek:

As long as you describe the problem in sufficient detail and list all the important computer and operating system stuff the *first* time, you shouldn't have too many problems. (too many problems) :cheeky:
