Keep in mind eric that the Darkmod is all fan levels. There is no "official" mission set (except for the Training Mission). It is just a tool to make Thief-based missions for the Doom 3 engine. I'd try some fan missions for T1/2 first or concurrently.

Keep the reviews coming for the T2X + T3 levels though. It's an awesome read! :D

You know I was going to stop writing here...its getting to be like my personal blog...the sound of one hand clapping...but then again...
T2X

The great:
The fact that it exists
The cut scenes
the art in the cut scenes
some of the specific changes in the objects are definitely for the better...the keys in locks sequences
the arrow, the hammer, the sword...
The coherent story
The choice of a girl for the lead...not to mention her tattoo-inspired make-up

The neither great nor not great:
its easier (at least the levels I played)
combat is easier

The not great:
1st level is a weak start

Speaking of which:-
Mission 1: Unexpected Shelter
boring...I know, who am I to complain, but really weak...I DID like the visual of that movable bridge of light you needed to cross

Mission 2: The Trials That Shape Us
pretty cool; easy; but endless interesting touches in the museum, they put a lot of work into the small nice touches
not as good as T1 or the best of T2...but I didn't expect it to be
Reminded me of a true-ism of PC gaming...when you get lost, go to sleep...when you wake up the next morning, more often then not you figure out where to go.

Mission 3: While The City Sleeps
although easier than T1 or T2, it was in the mold of a classic Thief level design
LOVE the rooftop/balcony traveling...

Very enjoyable thus far, although a little on the 'light' side...maybe I'm spoiled.

I Think we're playing different games.
I looked, as I was curious how many levels in the T2X game...and didn't see one called "At THE BONEHOARD"

There IS a level called "DOWN IN THE BONEHOARD" in the ORIGINAL Thief...is that what you're playing?

There are are two-three more that are sort of like Bonehoard. Most missions are more confined (don't have as many big open areas) and more stealthy.

I enjoy The Mage Towers, but it's not the very best. Maybe it'll come in 6th or 7th in TG.
Off the top of my head my Thief Gold list would be:

1. Sword
2. Cragscleft
3. Return
4. Caverns
5. Bonehoard
6. Escape
7. Mage Towers
8. Guild
9. Haunted
10. Bafford
11. Lost City
12. Assassins
13.Maw
14. Undercover
15. Bedfellows

Some surprises there I know, especially assassins which I don't care for that much. Don't get me wrong, even strange bedfellows would've come in 6th-7th place on a T2 list. That says something about the quality of the rest of these missions.
