Haunts in Thief - Deadly Shadows ...

Are quite scary!!!

I can't believe it... I found Zombies and Haunts in TDP and TMA quite funny, actually I enjoyed the mission "Return to Cathedral".

However, the haunts in TDS are freaking me out, I can't believe I'm so scared when I'm strolling in the basement of the church in the Old Quarter. And the sounds when they die... are horrible

I think most of us have had the opposite reaction, and found the classic versions unnerving, while the TDS versions fell flat.

I was scared of them too until I found out you could take them out with flash bombs. The only thing that bothers me now is that their body lays around after they've been dispatched. I prefer my undead to explode in to dust, thank you.

Like many others, I am sure, I found the Residents/Patients in the cradle much more creepy.

But the creepiest creature of all are those little golden children of Karras that look like bronze-dipped toddlers. They scream when they see you and run away, but they still creep me out. I tried every method I could think of to kill one with no luck, not even the Sunburst device would do it.

Now, a Resident -verses- a Golden Child.. that would be better than a bear pit fight!

I too was much more freaked out by the original Haunts. The new ones weren't too bad but they just didn't measure up to the classic (kind of my thought about the whole game;)). BTW, if you want to have some real fun then use some oil flasks to send them flopping all over the place(like into walls and off ledges:cheeky:), or toss a holy water into the oil and watch them slip to the floor and fry(this is really fun with zombies!).

I did a lot of flashbombing throughout TDS.

And I'm not ashamed to say it.

:p ;)

first zombie i came upon in TDS scared the crap out of me... i let it out of its locked cell and was expecting a zombie from TDP, which while scary at first you soon learn you can run circles around, but instead he ran at me and yeah...

i ran away and his under a staircase like a little girl.

but I do agree that the haunts in TDP were better... the memories of them made me plenty scared when i found them in TDS though.

I'm still trying to get through TDS:(

lol, yeah kinda weird...I think it's the AI but I just can't shake that feeling..how they walk and talk I guess, just doesn't look/feel like Thief. Ah well, Thief 4 anyone?:p
