I didn't figure out the "give the guard a drink" thing mentioned either. I'll have to try that out.

No, I didn't get locked in. There's an armoire or bookcase or something in a room nearby (not in the area below the elevator platform, I don't think) that lifts and there's a passageway behind it that leads to the room where you meet the lady and get the wisp for a companion. Sorry if it's a bit vague but I have to play this again to try to sort it all out as I was running around in circles for half of it so I don't recall things clearly. can you tell me exactly where this one is? i have been everywhere else i believe...but my framerate is so choppy and re-loads are taking forever!!! so i do not want to chop around too much more...making me dizzy! i have loved this game and wish it played smoother so that i could i enjoy it fully.

nil8hate - which room are you looking for? The drink machine, the room under the elevator, or the room with the wisp?

Re: the door [SPOILER]behind the painting. Am I supposed to be able to open it. Am I also not supposed to have any lockpicks?[/SPOILER]

nickie - To get through that door, you need to explore the secret area entered through the office first. There's a statue in a chest that you put into the empty alcove and that moves a panel which was hiding a button. Nothing is straight forward in this mission but it's fun!
nil8hate - It's in the area below the turret that runs back and forth. You have to go through one of the rooms into a hallway behind, "use" the Hand on a pedestal (there's another hand already there so it's a bit of a clue) and that will gain you access to another area, I believe, where you find the bit I mentioned. This may not be entirely accurate. I haven't been able to replay it yet so I'm still a bit vague about where things are and how they work.

Thanks NW...found the spot to start...but i am crashing so bad....and my load times are forever!!!! anyone else having this problem? is there a tweak that might help? i do not have this problem in general....there have only been a few fms that were this bad for framerate...but it feels like something else?

My framerates were getting pretty bad towards the end, too, plus I had several saves that just would not load. I got a message saying Thief 2 has encountered an error and has to close so I had to start back a bit farther. It also took a long time to load from saves.

The guard and the wine thing - has anyone gotten it to work properly? I can't and I wonder if I'm doing something wrong. I got the office key, went in and pushed the button on the office wall. Waited for the guard to come out to get wine but he didn't so then I went and pushed the button for the wine on the dispenser machine and waited for a bit but he still didn't come out. According to Lady Jo, he should come out to get a drink once the office button is pushed leaving the storeroom unguarded so you can go in without setting off the alarms.

MW...you did it right...you [SPOILER]push the button and he comes out and gets the wine...i had pushed the wine dispenser first because i could!! maybe that has something to do with it?[/SPOILER]

I just have copied the texts file into the english directory, and I can extrapolate enough to go on, but I was stuck with the piano.
Also thanks for the goals translation.
I guess it helps a bit reading 3 languages.

I have English files that you can put in yourself, if you want them, Martin. Just email and I'll send them to you. I've been fixing up a few small errors that have cropped up but so far they seem to be working quite well.
nil8hate - I tried every combination of actions I could think of but it just won't work. Just a glitch I guess and not a big deal. I found a way in anyway, just not the way the author planned. :cheeky:
