The easiest way AFAIR is to change them in T2 then copy them to T1.

Hey Khad, nice job with the fire poker. Surprised me there, did ya. :)
Now, well, if those SA goons give you hints like "moss arrows on guards", then keep in mind that they don't really have a clue about the game series. They were talking about Thief 3 there and apparently thought that this effect would happen in all of the games. Keep the moss arrow on guard thing in mind for Thief 3, it's really fun there.
Next: the alarm was the reason why you had to run all the way back home. If you hadn't pressed that button and if no guard would've had pressed it for you after seeing you, then the mission would've indeed ended when you left the house by that waterway. Yet another thing that the goons got wrong. ("huh, the alarm did nothing, it just raised the alertness of some guards (lulz)") :p
And finally: keep some distance when trying to jump over these stupid things like a counter or the bridge's railing or onto tables. Else you can't jump over this shit indeed.
Good job, btw. Have fun in the next mission and kill them all for me. ;) (and listening to one or two conversations in the deep basement in there might help you figure out where to go first in that piece of trash of a mission.)

I must say I'm kinda impressed by how he improved in this mission. Especially how he escaped the guards at Farkus' shop. Nicely done, Khad! I'm afraid you probably consider the next mission horrible - I wouldn't be surprised if it took you longer than the Bonehoard. Good luck. :erg:

Indeed, I didn't even know it was possible to get in from that side.
Moss Arrows only work on guards if you have the bow upgrade(which you missed in Bonehoard) so don't worry about it.
And as Lytha said, keep your distance when trying to jump over things - you can't change your velocity or direction in mid-air in Thief, so you need to be moving forward when jumping to actually jump forward(Sounds obvious, doesn't it).
About control woes: lockpicks are F4 and F5. There is also a button to clear inventory, backspace by default. In case you haven't noticed, you're using the jump/block bind combo which means the jump button is block when you have the sword out and jump when you don't(as it's quite unlikely you'll be jumping with a sword). You can change it to two separate bindings but you probably shouldn't, just remember to put your sword away once you finish slashing.
And sadly, there are no submarines in Thief

You kind of kicked that levels rear end. The guy's at TTLG are probably fuming right now. I almost died laughing when you walked through the fire. Didn't you have water arrows?
It's funny how they don't just get it.

I loved seeing you run away from Ramirez and his goon and hiding in the burrick pit, only to find OH GOD BURRICKS!.
Also your escape through the city, dodging around all the guards, was really quite good.
Unfortunately next up is in my opinion, the worst mission in the whole series. Have fun.

He didn't even come close to kicking the crap out of that stage. He utterly failed at the "follow the thugs" portion. As for the mansion portion, he *barely* dragged himself out of the stage with 1 health left yet again. The guy doesn't understand stealth. He doesn't use it. He ends up in swords fights with most of his encounters, and runs away from the rest. So rare is the case in which he hides silently while the guard simply walks by. He's not even doing a good job of blackjacking his way through the stages, which is pretty exceptionally easy.
