I know that this has been discussed many times in the past, but i couldnt find anything i needed with the search option so please forgive me :angel:
I am about to start the Thief series all over again, i installed Thief 1 and i am playing through Lord Baffords mansion. I plan to start and finish all the series ghosting, i know that this isnt quite possible with Deadly Shadows. But is it 100% possible with The Dark Project and The Metal Age?
And should i wait for the total new texture patch for Thief 1/Gold? Because i dont want to start all over again when i am half way through the game.

As far as I know it's possible. But I didn't ghost all levels but according to my experience with space and hiding places I say yes:

Definitely yes :)
At least I do that I haven't played Thief Gold yet so I'm waiting until I can play it with best experience.

Nope, it's not 100% possible with either TDP or TMA. In TDP you can't ghost The Haunted Cathedral and The Maw, and in TMA you can't ghost Trail of Blood and Soulforge. However all other missions can be successfully ghosted. :)
You can't 100% ghost Deadly Shadows either sadly, since it's impossible to ghost the Inn mission (if you consider it a mission). All other missions are ghostable even though there is a script in the Cradle that makes an AI wake up and enter combat mode, but it's a script so rules may or may not apply.

Ahh i see, i thought about it because there are some missions where it isnt possible. I will try it though, on expert setting that is :cheeky:

I'm hardly an expert, but I wouldn't count the inn situation in TDS as a failure since it's a scripted event.

I'm not that hardcord ghoster but I tried it in Soulforge and I'm pretty sure that I sucessfully made it(of course not all antennas). (Remember that I was sometimes really annoying because I had to crouch+sneak on some metal plates and it took ages and a few tries.
But well that's no discussion for me I bet others tried it more serious than I have and know it better.

Soulforge isn't ghostable because as soon as you launch the mission, the watcher spots you, and there's nothing you can do to prevent it. You can ghost the rest of the mission though (except one antenna if I recall correctly).

Was the Watcher tweaked? I can run under it before it sounds the alarm. You have to press the strafe-right key, while the screen is black, right before the mission starts, and turn Garrett a little to the right, and slip under the Watcher, and let it ramp down if it went yellow. Then it's a matter of staying out of its view from that point on, where getting out through the front doors might require doing so in steps. That is, if your version hasn't been tweaked to make that impossible.

Is a yellow watcher considered a ghost bust under the official rules?
jtr7 on 16/3/2013 at 01:54
I wonder if there's a difference in the rules for a brief yellow, or a sustained yellow.
