Well, as I've said before long ago when I went here, I love Thief: DS. I'm not in the mood for an argument about why it's great, however. What I do want to know is if there is a mod for the game that adds a block feature? If such a thing was accomplished, there might actually be a slight bit of face to face combat in the game. Not that I think the game necessarily needs it, after all, it IS about sneaking. I just think it would make for a slight bit more enjoyment when a guard sees you rather than pelting him with five arrows while he keeps running at you or throwing a flash bomb and running away. And I know it's not all that easy to block with a knife, but it's possible.
Anyways, is there one?

Check the settings. I think it is SPACEBAR.

Block does not exist in Thief: Deadly Shadows, hence why I am asking about if there is a mod for it. It might have been spacebar in Thief 1 or 2 by default.

There is no mod for it that I know of, nor do I think there could be one, as it would require having access to an SDK of sorts, so this functionality could be added.

Just curious, why are you KNIFE FIGHTING in a sneaker game? :confused:

You could duck down to avoid some strikes from the guards. Evasion is also a form of parrying.

That's a very good point, Beleg. I've never really thought about trying that. I've tried leaning, but that was a little too slow and the guards are mainly attacking towards your middle section anyways.
And maybe it can't be done, but it would be a nice feature if implemented.
