>we're never getting anything as good as Thief, Thief 2 and the Dark Mod.

Feels fine man, i've got so many fanmissions to play.

I have and I regret not just skipping it

>>740316897
Is there a series in existence that has been carried so hard by fan content like thief? there were fan missions that blew my mind more than full games

>>740316560
Yeah me neither
>>740316904
good to know

I'd say shit (real emphasis on shit) like Skyrim has been carried harder, but Thiefs community is exemplary in terms of quality and commitment. It's comprised entirely of a genuine grass roots community that has thrived for decades without being propped up by the developers, publishers etc, but simply by a love for the games.

Doom

I know it's a contrarian thing to say but I never understood the hate for this level. It's not that confusing, the map you get is good enough to give you an idea of how to navigate. And Garrett out-thieving an entire organization of thieves is a cool premise.

>Ctrl + Alt + Shift + End
Yep gaming time

I never went past the casino but something had to be bad about it for me to never progress past the beginning section. The other gold levels were fine and in the opera's case even good

>>740318741
It destroys the pacing(the sword is supposed to be the wtf am I mission, which completely falls flat), it's ugly, the side objective is bullshit and if you don't know what you're doing, which you won't on a first time playthrough, you can easily traverse the whole level one too many times which is so fucking drining if you actually bother to sneak and don't knock everyone out

>>740321851
you retards wouldn't argue about pacing if the bonus levels were better, that's a fact, if thieves guild was on the level of song of the caverns, you would've loved it

adding mages to the lost city however is a valid complaint

>>740317015
Tomb raider has amazing mods. A lot of them better than official levels.

>>740316560
I did and I'm never ever doing that again.

>>740322862
thieves guild does nothing to advance the overall plot of the game. You're meant to be getting Constantine's sword and kicking the main story into action. You've already done a bunch of filler missions, the last thing the game needed at that point is the biggest filler mission of filler missions. Huge mistake. Gold edition degraded the overall experience for lots of people.

>>740326126
if thieves' guild was this masterpiece of a mission where you infiltrate the criminal underground and learn more about that side of the city more, you really wouldn't mind, no one would. it's only because the mission was terribly executed it's a problem, that's a fact. though if you can't imagine what i'm talking about, then i guess the point cannot be made

>>740326417
Learning more backstory about the city just isn't necessary at that point. It was time for the main plot to start.

>>740322862
>if the thing you're complaining about would be better you wouldn't complain about it
Holy shit really?

Yea it's shit. So that leaves us 2 Gold missions, Mage Towers and Song of Caverns. Which do you think is better?

it's not that confusing, it just doesnt fit the game theme at all (best choice is to forego stealth and bonk everyone in the head like you're clearing out a doom level lol).
Return to cathedral or whatever it was called is worse for me.

>>740327769
song, it's the only one that felt properly finished

reminder if you don't play the thief games on a crt monitor you're a secondary

>>740316560
Worst skyrim faction.

Wait, which Tomb Raider?

what a coincidence, i started playing Thief The Dark Project (retail version) two days ago
>>740329630
with software rendering too (GOG and Steam i believe removed it by using Thief 2 engine mod).

>>740318741
I don't get it either. The only bad thing is the silver necklace which is indeed total bullshit but you need it playing on expert.

>>740316560
Stop stalking me. I just spent 3 hours the other day wandering around in this dogshit level because I missed the tiny ass key in a bookshelf
Good thing The Sword was next and completely mogged it in every single way, what a fucking insane level
On a side note, did anyone else's copy of Gold just decide to stop showing cutscenes halfway through the game?

I have PTSD from my first time playing it. My first run was on expert (which is very bad advice a lot of people give) so Thieve's Guild was so ass I had to drop the game, then I later learned of the skip mission prompt so just used that.

>>740340202
probably an indeo video codec issue. You should fix it, you don't want to miss any cutscenes

>>740317985
Thievery was really special. I remember playing regularly back in 2012ish but even then it was dying

It still looks pretty decent with texture filtering disabled imo

>Thief, Thief 2 and the Dark Mod
>the Dark Mod
lmao no

try the Black Parade instead

>>740317985
>without being propped up by the developers
Eeeh people are pretty sure the Raven was a dev at least, but apart from that yee

I enjoyed it but fell into the pit from OP pic with all the doors closed and saved over it by accident. Stuck, no way out, no hope. Had to skip.

>>740316560
I don't give a shit what people say it's a good mission

this, song is KINO

mage tower felt half-baked (super mario style jump'n'run in MY thief game? really?), but i like it's size and the way you progress.
just needed more detailing, WAY more detailing

>>740339524
hardware is objectively better because you can configure the .ini files to match the software rendering (disable texture filtering and enforce bitmap mode).
better lightning too
