Found 2708 Loot out of 2265. Huh? - by hexarith

I did just the "Down in Bonehoard Mission". I never play games at highest level in the first run, to get familiar with the controls and the little oddities. This might be the reason, but anyway: I was a bit surprised to have gotten 2708 Loot out of 2265. Seems like I found some bypasses to locked areas (which is IMHO an achievement of it's own kind ;-) )
Did anybody else notice something like this?

What difficulty did you play at?
On Normal there should be two locked doors in Bonehoard, which you can't get through due to you not having the objectives needed. On Hard, one is unlocked, and the second one is unlocked on Expert. The only way I can think of for you to have gotten above the total loot score is if you managed to somehow get passed one of these doors on a lower level, though I can't see how that's possible. Either that or it's a glitch I've never heard of.

That is odd for several reasons.
a) Because you shouldn't be able to get more than the maximum loot (although, in some missions you can only get less than that due to design bugs).
b) I'm not aware of any loot item being anything other than a multiple of 5 - so how you can get 2708 is even stranger.
c) (
http://www.lytha.com/thief/loot/bonehoard.phtml) says that the total loot for that level is 2450. The Mystics heart is worth 1000 and the mystics soul is worth 500 so I can't see that difficulty would explain the discreptancy.
