Does anyone actually use scouting orbs?
In all my years of playing Thief 2 I think i've used scouting orbs like 1 time. They are even more useless to me than flares. :laff:
I prefer the 'lean and listen' method over wasting money on scouting orbs that already impede reaction time.

I don't use scouting orbs for playing the game, but I use them to look where Garrett cannot go, or to take screenshots, especially of Garrett himself.

Yeah; I think I've used a scouting orb on a handful of occasions, mostly in the T2 FMs, where I really need to see what's round the next corner or who's waiting for me up at the top of some stairs. Seems like every time I turn around though I'm 'finding' another scouting orb, which I usually don't pick up since in reality if I ever really do need one, one is all I need as they're retrievable.
As far as flares are concerned, it was only recently that I learned they can be used to 'burn up' banners, which is particularly useful when you don't have a sword and you think there may be hidden loot behind a certain banner. And they can be used to relight torches & candles. Mostly.
But I for one would really love to see Garrett retain his full compliment of gear & accessories which he had in TDP & TMA.
No use for the climbing gloves or dagger, thankyouverymuch.

Actually there are some references in T3Ed about a mechanical rat but it wasn't implemented (not to mention a noise suppressor and disfunctional rope arrow link data along with using a blsRope instead of blsLadder).

Ropearrows! scouting orbs only if they will have a signifigant use in the game, not just usless like I found they were in thief 2... Got to have few Combat bots in the game, rusty robots in some old warehouse :) and ofcourse Mages.
