was there some warning or a clue I missed somewhere ?
and more to the point is this sort of trick going to happen again ?
[SPOILER]Sneak into this room, just between the door frame and the desk. At a certain point, the lightgem will become dark enough to hide you and close enough to blackjack the guard.[/SPOILER]

I'm having the same problem Stingm had. I'm on my way through the tilted house for the second time, having gotten the gem plaques, and after I finally get on the ladder -- which is hard enough -- I can climb part way up... and then it's like I'm bumping against an invisible wall: I can't get all the way up and into the attic.
I didn't have this problem the first time through... what's going on now?
I was finally able to get into the attic by retracting the ladder and using a rope arrow instead; but this seems odd.

if I'd had any suspicion
that a guard might appear from thin air when I read a book, like if it was the necromancers tower I would have done but empty rooms should stay empty unless there's some hint that they won't
I wouldn't mind if
he'd appeared in the adjoining room and he found me as I exited that would have been believable, I could argue that he entered the house while I was reading and immersion would be maintained
as it was it just spoiled it for me, there was no reason to it, it seemed designed to force a confrontation with no chance of avoiding it without some prior knowledge and there seems to be no way to acquire this knowledge without finding out the hard way, taking the damage and escaping or more likely restore a save and go back to do it without damage which is cheating in my book
if I miss something and garrett get's creamed because of my mistake then thats fair enough, the thief universe follows a certain style, part of that style says that deadly traps can be set, but Garrett has a chance of detecting them if he looks hard enough, after all he is a master thief with some experience at this, but if I playing as Garrett get overconfident or careless and don't do this then I'm fair game.
simply springing an undetectable trap with no warning breaks this style completely and for me it ceases to be thief at that point
I'm sorry Gort this isn't intended to be a rant at you and I really don't want to upset you, you've created an incredible game here and you should be justly proud of it, it's just that for me the style seems to be wrong

Great mission. Being the roof-top thief that I am, I found the [SPOILER]button suspended in midair [/SPOILER]on a tall, flat roof. Does it serve any purpose?

Hi, I'm getting a lot confused and I'm feeling .......lost!
I am in Yangus estate [SPOILER]got his office key, went back to the office bu cannot frob the purple trasure and yangus is not there. where is he supposed to be? And why the trasure is not frobbable?[/SPOILER]:confused:
Sticky Fingers on 17/12/2007 at 19:59
maga : [SPOILER]when you get Yangus' key a conversation is triggered after which you should get an objective about following him - maybe he left & you didn't see him. The treasures aren't frobbable until you go to the sloping house (need loot objective & the attic key).[/SPOILER]
maga on 17/12/2007 at 20:09
Sticky, thank you so much for your reply. I just got the objective to kill him (honestly I did not understand what they said in the conversation...dah, language probs...:p )Is there a way to fetch him somewhere?
[SPOILER]I had already been to the sunken house before accomplishing the pagan objective shall I go back there? Have I to pick up the red treasure first? OMG I'm totally confused abt this fm..........[/SPOILER]
Sticky Fingers on 17/12/2007 at 20:53
maga: he's gone to the warehouse (sorry, I'm on my 4th FM since then & can't remember where that is - maybe you could re-load from just before grabbing that key?) And [SPOILER]you'll need to get the pagan objective before you can get one of the treasures - but before you can frob any of the treasures, you need to explore the sloping house & the hot place beyond it, all the way to the end.[/SPOILER]
Then you get to come back, grab the treasures (in any order) & do the sloping house & beyond all over again! :cheeky:
Confused? you've joined a long cue...

Not to far from the start there is a woman hanging out in her garden with some moss and water crystals in it. [SPOILER]On the first floor there is a secret door under the stairs, how do I open it[/SPOILER]
Thankyou in advance for any help :)
Also is this mission that difficult, I mean in the sense of lacking clues as to what to do ? Or are people just missing them ? Also I clubed some wolf looking thing to death. Is that a problem ? Or was it actually a rat man like in T3 ?
Sticky Fingers on 19/12/2007 at 04:50
Lightingline : [SPOILER]I think you use your BJ on that secret door. I also took out the wolf's head creature (top floor, warehouse?) - didn't seem to make any difference... [/SPOILER]
And, yes, I thought it needed a few more useful clues.
