Cragscleft Prison is one of the best levels ever in a game, can't believe how good it is. So many heartstopping moments during the vaunted no-saving, no-kills, no-blackjacking run.
Fantastic how the second real mission in the game is crawling your way through a zombie-infested mine to break into a prison ran by a group of technocratic cultists.Cragscleft Prison is one of the best levels ever in a game, can't believe how good it is.

Cragscleft can be a seriously nasty mission on Expert, especially if played for the first time.Cragscleft Prison is one of the best levels ever in a game, can't believe how good it is. So many heartstopping moments during the vaunted no-saving, no-kills, no-blackjacking run.
Brother, have you heard about FMs?My goodness, I LOVE THIS SERIES!! Some of the ALL TIME great computer games! So much joy for so many years! Looking Glass will always hold a special place in my heart.
Maybe it's time to sneak across the rooftops once more...

I used to prefer Thief 2 but grew to prefer Thief 1. My huge amount of played FMs probably contributed to that somewhat.Thief 1 or 2 Jarlo what you say?
Those were already in Thief 1.I recall being bothered by the no-kill requirements (on harder difficulties)
The last time I played through that mission, I learned that the critter AI is coded to scan its environment for missing (loot) items as it moves about its patrol route. If it finds something missing, it would run and raise the alarm. (This may be accomplished in a different manner than I describe, but the end result is the same.)My favorite level is the one where you wear a disguise in the hammerite compound. No idea how it's supposed to go because I always get caught pretty much immediately and it becomes a hectic sword/bow/gadget battle with hordes of fanatics. Then I strut out the front door with a bag of holy loot, passing an enormous pile of neatly stacked hammerite corpses. Wouldn't have it any other way.
It's what I always do.In general though, the best way to clear this mission is to secretly knock out all the Hammerites before touching any loot. That way there isn't anyone around to sound the alarm...
The problem with T2 is that the robots are more cute than scary. Can't say that about the Zombies and Haunts in T1.Thief 2 was the sequel we thought we wanted but really didn't. I recall being bothered by the no-kill requirements (on harder difficulties), robots are annoying, levels were overly gigantic. Soulforge was a cool final level though.
Black Parade should win at gameawards 2023.Black Parade just dropped and it's GOTY 2023
The thing is that up to that point, the mission design and atmosphere in this game was so immaculate. And then out of nowhere Casper the Retarded Ghost comes out and gives you the most generic and banal of fetch quests in the middle of what's supposed to be an atmospheric horror level. It just feels like the designers are taking the piss out of me.Personally, I prefer The Haunted Cathedral/Return to the Cathedral over Robbing the Cradle, but maybe that's just me.
The ghost of Brother Murus having you pick up items for him never bothered me all that much.
