Decline Thiaf Pre-Release Thread

You couldn't do the same with Dishonored. I played it with NO HUD at all and sometimes i wouldn't know where was i suppose to hide the body of that gals uncle. It was a very specific spot, and the only way you could know about it was through the fucking compass.

To be fair that's the only example of that in the whole game.

How often do you jump? Only when you need to, whenever you want to or all the time?

When I need to. The inherent problem with contextual jumping (or anything contextual for that matter) is that the developers can't possibly assume every case in which I would want to jump. The level designers know this, and the levels themselves suffer from it. For example, there are pressure plates in the eurogamer demo. Can I jump over those? I'm going to go out on a limb and say no, though I can't say for sure.

Here's a quote from their dipshit project lead:

"If I give you the possibility to shoot the rope arrow everywhere, I will have to cut something. I will have to reduce our intention for the narrative. If it’s everywhere, the cost of it is to block your view, because it’s still a console. It’s still tech. By having a smart level design, by making sure that feels natural that here you can go – not scripted, but you check and if you feel that you should be able to do that and it’s there, the job is done. If it’s not frustrating, the job is done"

(yeah I know, I couldn't make this bullshit up myself).

I can't speak for how well the jumping will work, but that quote is pretty goddamn telling to me.

That quote... no, it has to be a joke. You're trolling. You came up with this. Oh my fucking god

Thiaf will be a sightseeing corridor walker. Search your feelings, you know it to be true.

Yes you are right, DalekFlay but it did happen to me again at The Knife of Dunwall .

In other news, Crooked Bee wants me to review Thi4f for RPGTafferCodex.
I am unsure if I want to.

How about me?

Not visceral enough. Needs more Bloom.

Every time I see this thread back near the top, I'm tempted to click on it just to see what the latest word is, yet at the same time terrified of what new level of degradation I may witness. It's like playing with the Hellraiser box.

If there's no quest indicator in the compass at the top how are we supposed to spin in circles until we get the right heading?

Gladly.
But I am pretty awful with modelling. I will have to make such floating zombie hands somehow.

Thief 4 missions ported to Thief 1/2 engine? Hmm it might make something useful out of them.

 

[Morgoth]

You could take all Thief 4 missions and merge them together in a single Dark Engine map.
