Thats your opinion its crippled, lot of people play it.

I think people listed some of the best T2 FMs here. I also recommend Melan's FMs, since the T2 ones have a great T1-ish atmosphere, and Mission X because that's the best example of what people got out of DromEd in all this time. Purah's Calendra's Cistern is something you really should play too. About TDM, I would wait with that for now. First play some T2 FMs and see what you think. TDM is quite different, and it depends on the reasons why you like Thief whether you'll like TDM. But give it a try some time nevertheless.

I plan to play all the games chronologically (currently in the Earth Tower in Gold now) but was trying to narrow down the FM's since there are so many of them. I'll check out all these recommendations, thanks. :thumb:

I meant playing the FMs chronologically. Well if you don't wanna play 'em all, which might just take up too much time to catch up nowadays, then ok, though checking out at least a few of the first ones might be fun.
Or you could simply start with CoSaS and Rocksbourg series. :D
Btw, you mean Mage Towers, right? Heh, that's a big one. I quite liked it.

progress curve over the decade. :> Forget the TDM, it's crippled.
Oh the love. Thief fans put years into making a mod for thief fans and still people have comments like this.
Absolutely NOTHING to back this up imo. Just a broad hater statement. Seriously, why is it crippled? Because it's got better gameplay than T3 and better graphics than T1-2? Because it's only got 30 missions currently? Because the editor is better than Dromed and has features very closely related to Dromed so mappers can transition easily? Because it's continually being worked on and improved?
Anyway, welcome back to Thief schtib, you've got plenty of great options.

Nah, I was saying crippled when I meant the gameplay. I guess it was something to get really used to, but that wasn't the point I was trying to make.
I was trying to say that he might not want to forget about T1/2 ever having existed and moving on to TDM, as BA seemed to suggest.
It does look fancier than Thief though. :>

The gameplay isn't all that different. Sure lockpicking is different, BJ is a bit different, but all the typical gameplay elements are there, it just might take a little time to get the feel for it like any game.
But I agree, don't forget about T1/2, there are enough great FM's to keep you busy for along time.

One thing I have learned, it took a bit getting used to, stand back when you BJ, nine times out of ten, you'll nail your target. Makes a big difference.

TDM looks pretty sweet but I haven't played it. I'm gonna be busy catching up with all the FM's for a while so by the time I get to TDM maybe all the supposed kinks will be ironed out by then. You taffers have done AMAZING work improving and expanding an already great product in the Thief series! :thumb:
