When I get frustrated in-game, usually a fan mission of some sort, I just go psycho and sword fight the whole damn place. I am pretty good, and can usually clean out an entire mission w/the sword. Of course it is a restart when I get it out of my system, and I am not looking for loot and secrets, just blood.

Heh, you ain't the only one that gets frustrated and just goes on a killing spree....:p

One thing I always do, is shoot into the middle of every bullseye I see on the wall just to see if there is a secret. Like the one in Truart's mansion level in the original Thief 2.

Does anybody take all the edibles in a mission?
I did it to save health potions since some food can restore health a little.
But that became a kind of obsession when I learned elevatoring trick which I use in a really hopeless climbing situations. I know it's cheating but some times really tough climbing&jumping is so boring to me (like getting those two masks at the final of CL) that I prefer ways with no honour.
And then my poor Garrett has to eat all the goodies which become a mess in his inventory.
And it was pity that in T2X elevatoring just doesn't work.
And yes, frequent quicksaving is an issue. Sometimes I think I lost running away and flashbombing skills 'cause I prefer to reload.

"elevatoring" ?:confused:

Hmm, interesting. Never heard of it...
I thought the term "elevatoring" was a bit odd.:weird:

It was a big deal back in the day. Part of classic TTLG. I'm glad a good portion of it never got buried in The Vault archives. A lot of Luthien's screenshots are still up in a few threads, like pics from the very top of Angelwatch, and one through a scouting orb on the street looking up at Garrett silhouetted against the crescent moon while he stands up there. Luthien jumped off the base of that rooftop tower and fell for 4.5 seconds before landing on a frogbeast egg without dying ("frogbeast jumping").
Knowing it was done without DromEd but by elevatoring and crate-stacking makes it very cool.

I must knock it out if it's head can hit my blackjack. Guard, ko. Servant, ko. Sleeping guy, you'd better believe it ko. I mean, if it's sleeping, it can be woken. And if it's woken, it can attack, or raise the alarm, so why take chance?
But I have a strict standard of ethics:
Put the ko body on a bed. I mean, you've been assaulted and burgled, I guess robbed in this case, at least you could say that the good part is that you woke on a bed. "My head is killing me and my gold is gone, but I slept good!"
Take ko bodies out of the elements. Getting a cold at this point in history can be fatal. I know your valuables are mine, and you are probably going to need new employment or worse, but hey, looks like you wont die of a cold. Well, for at least a week, or however long you have a house.
Kill no humans. I ko them all, but I wont kill them. It's kind of a, "I don't hit babies, I just hit kittens" kind of thing.
If it isn't human, anything goes. Zombies, burricks, craymen, bugbeasts, rats, ape beasts, tree beasts, spiders, haunts, ghosts, put on the death metal, its slaughter time!
