Playing it out, that could tie in to the why elemental crystals are being imported from Blackbrook through ambassador Dorcas Goodfellow.

I think the common thugs don´t have enought money to spend a lot on fire arrows and stuff (hey, even I stay away from then during the buying screen, have you seen the PRICES ?!?).
So they use these things very carrefully. And the presence of a lot of these things at the thieves guild can be explained as merchandise. They have a lot of these stuff because they pretend to sell most of it, not use it. They sell it to the underground shops with the sexy voice-annoying girls.

That works for TDS, anyway.:cheeky:

I thought I remember disarming mines with lockpicks in Thief 1?

yes, you can.
I think the problem comes from the fact that elemental crystals are rare naturally, even if you could afford as many fire arrows as you'd normally have broadheads, there just aren't that many available.

How close do you have to get? I know in TMA I can crawl and creep up to an armed mine until it highlights, then use my lockpicks on it, but I must've always stopped short in TDP/Gold, when I felt I was too damned close for my comfort, 'cause it never highlighted. Of course, I never just experimented and quickloaded.

It takes a while, but it can be done... Just requires a little patience, and a hell of a lot of nerve!

While looking to see if anyone had made a burrick so that the hair in it's texture actually looked like hair and not markings (I thought the concept art of them was different to the actual game ones - but no, look at the texture! They actually have hair it's just you can't tell, it looks like markings):

In the Thief II demo there is a note by the castle carlisle armoury door, saying, and I quote
' Tis a shame to keep the guards from the tools of their trade but such blatant misuse of fire arrows shall not be tolerated! Alas that poor burrick.'
Or something like that.
So look in the unwelcome guest demo then i guess for insight as to why haha :p

Funny thread - wonder if Lady Rowena ever read it. Seven Sisters must be the first to feature a pet burrick. Wish those links were still active.
