crunchy, kamyk, and pavs:

The secret may now be told. That's why I edited the image in this post:

Of course, I could've just cropped it off, but I chose not to.

Lol :joke:

Oh funny!! I always wondered if that was the reason...I've done similar things to "remind" myself. :thumb:

Blow up every gunpowder barrel. Preferably by throwing things at them. Even a crate will work if you throw it often enough.

Trying to stun people with throwing boxes at them.
I know that in DS it's theoretically do-able, but I've never managed it. In DP and MA I simply hope against hope...
Oh yeah, and getting hold oh a hammer and going on a killing spree. Especially with undead and the Trickster's minions around.

I suppose this is cheating more that pointless, but I like to run away from a guard and then go in an enclosed room with a single door that you can close behind you. If you block the door they can't get in. I discovered that you can then blackjack them when their head pokes through the door, I can't resist it. :cheeky:

Spending almost 3 hours in Shipping and Receiving with the lockbox codes:

I thought the registration number of (http://thief.wikia.com/wiki/Captain_Davidson%27s_Ship) Captain Davidson's Ship would be some sort of secret code and if entered in the right lockboxes it would unveil a well hidden secret. Until I had the intuition to look itup in DromEd to find nothing :weird:

But as my girlfriend says, as soon as I see numbers which might have a meaning, I MUST think about it. :joke:

Heh heh. That number bugged me, too. I knew it had to mean something to the level designer, at least, and I found Mike "MikeC" Chrzanowski's explanation:

That ["Dirty smuggler] dude is based on my friend Captain Davidson. I worked with him at EB and he got fired for pirating software on his laptop in the backroom. His employee number is on the side of the boat, and the DRD818 on the pirate flag is his AOL instant messenger name. I put the the dead dude in Davidson's hold because it made me laugh and it added to the atmosphere. I was going to explain him in T2G.

When I'm going through a mansion, I love redecorating it. For example moving a vase to a different room, rearranging the table (why are they always laid?).

Although I love ko-ing everything (except for spiders, zombies and haunts - I go out of my way to kill them all), I try and leave the cook conscious so as not to burn the dinner obviously being prepared for the 100 guests arriving, if the laid table is anything to go by!
