Well it isn't working for me.

Please stop shitting in this thread. Why not go start another thread about how angry you are about the title and leave us to our discussion? Please.

Why not the other way around?
Because the Dark Mod is close to its first release, the development of thief 4 has just started.

I'd like to start off by saying that this is potentially a very controversial and inflammatory topic and that TDM is not trying to be "vs" anything.
Furthermore there are fundamental differences between the 2 entities, aside from the world, history, lore and faction histories - and the fact that the TDM world is
not the "Thief-verse" and there are no Garrett or Keepers.
1.
Thief 4 is going to be primarily a game. An editor would be a bonus.
2. The Dark Mod
is not a game. It is essentially an editor.
Therefore your question is like asking if the Source editor is better than Gears of War. One is an editor, the other is game. The editor may be used to make maps that are similar to those in that game (despite the engine tech being different) but ultimately it is not a comparison that can be made.
Now if you were to ask if FMs made with TDM will be better than Thief 4 you'd have a proper question. A question that is impossible to answer because just who the frek knows, but a question nonetheless.
What he said. Maybe if EM decide that Fan Missions are the bees' knees and that delivering an awesome set of tools for mission authors is top priority then maybe, and only maybe, might we have a fight off between the two. Until then...
Gotta say though, I'm slightly dissapointed that EM have yet to announce their intention to use the DarkMod tool set.

I could ask you the same. Look, maybe you're happy with EM giving us nothing but a ridiculous logo after two years of tease, but why do you expect me to be happy also? I'm bitter, I'm angry, I feel betrayed, I think the game has as much chance of being released as Duke Nukem Forever. OK?

I didn't exactly start this, if you would care to notice. What was sooo offensive about my first post in this thread?
Lurk moar.

I just love all these speculation threads. Why don't you just wait and play Dark Mod and judge for yourself. You don't like it fine, go play T2 FM's. You love it, well ain't life grand.
There will be PLENTY of FM's to play in Dark Mod. It will FEEL like a game, and yeah, it feels like Thief. Because there will be completed FM's and a completed game to play. They will get to a point they feel comfortable with, and release it. Now that doesn't mean too, there still won't need changes made, tweaks made, like you guys have and are doing with Dromed. It does indeed have a Thiefy feel to it. I've said it before, I'll say it again. THIS is the future of Thief.

Why do you say this?
Seriously, I'd like to know if this has a deeper meaning than "taff off" to it :weird:

A popular variant spelling of lurk more. It is an expression used when someone demonstrates their ignorance of the customs and social expectations of an online community, or otherwise makes an idiot of themselves online. Its use indicates that the person so instructed should gain familiarity with the community before posting further.
I prefer both TDM and Thiaf than just one of two.
