Oh, crap... I forgot to add Gammall's Stone Minions from TDS to the poll. :p

Those were pretty annoying too.

You also forgot the Mech Cherub. It totally freaks out new players, including me when I played through LotP years ago. I chased it through the building while trying to knock him out, thereby alerting a lot of mechanists. :tsktsk:

what's a Kurshok??

They're easily recognisable by their big swords that reach all the way to the ground, that have no collision against you when you're crouched :laff:

I just don't like things I can't hit, like small spiders and in some fan missions (Pirate's Ahoy) Snake's and that sort of little things...
I don't mind the zombies, but burricks that won't die aren't my favorite enemy either.

I prefer things I can blackjack :ebil:

The Craybeast only ever appears in The Maw.

That explains it, I only ever played The Maw once and probably didn't notice that they were different.

Info.

The Puppets are called puppets because the Cradle controls them. They don't have their own personalities anymore, and the devs called them puppets. It's not literal. If you want the in-game term, they are Patients.

The Bugbeasts are all females, the Trickster's 'beastesses".

I don't know why, but everytime i play DS or see images, a voice just shouts out 'Can someone please make this game with the Dark Engine!' a little stupid but some of the newer 'high polygons' and stuff really don't impresse me as much as the older graphics.. Polygons still have a while to catch up to Sprites though.. but this is against the point..

I never bothered much with the Cherub. It appeared, i though 'Hello, what's this', tried to Blackjack it, from the sound it didn't look like it would work so i tried i just had some fun with it. It seamed to hang around me alot, everytime it ran away, i just hid for a while and watched whatever dumb creature it brought to me try to search but find nothing ^_^

:laff: after reading that I had to look through the poll and thread to see if someone had actually requested that the cherub get added to the list :cheeky:

Hmm, I wonder though what the response (from eidos) would be if someone did actually take out the sounds from Thief: DS and convert them to T2 for a Thief: DS remake.

Something tells me that the cradle would just seem even more twisted in the dark engine.

It's on the list of wishes, for sure.

I forgot to mention the sick in-game connotation about the Puppets. You know the Cradle was first an orphanage, then half of it was converted to the asylum. What was once the "old puppet-theater" became the lobotomy room.:eww:

I didn't even bother with the cherub because it isn't much of a direct threat. Even the workerbots can alert their bigger clockwork brothers or Mechanists more efficiently than those impressive, but useless child-like automatons (ooh, gosh, who knows if Karrass wasn't a bit "pedo" :cheeky: :eek: :eww: :joke:).

Anyway... how can I edit the poll ? I am pretty much a n00b when it comes to this... :p :o

Especially if SlipTip did it.
