How are The Dark Project and the Metal Age so good?

I was disappointed that Thief 2 was hardly as surreal as the first.

There's barely any surreal stuff in Thief 1. There's The Sword and that's about it.

It's mostly about the spooky atmosphere and the flavour around the trickster's influence on the world
I don't think haunts and spooks were inherently tied to pagans/trickster though, it's a shame you hardly meet any undead in 2 due to backlash, not because of the mechanists


I really need to get back to finishing Calendra's Cistern.pic unrelated

>Thief 2 is full of robot zombies

While I get that the sequel is far more technically accomplished, it also feels like the game's soul is completely absent. Where'd the fun go?

It's not about the zombies or souls.
It's all about the bunnyhop, man.

Yeah I thought the surreal stuff in The Sword was executed perfectly. Wish they put more in the game. My first time sneaking through it was so fucking cool. How's Calendra's Cistern?

Ah, anyone got that FM chart? I just reformatted.

The Sword is such a fucking GOAT level.

The best part about this particular area for me is that there's only 15 gold in it or something, it's just there for people who love to explore.

People can go on about nostalgia goggles all they want, but I remember when easter eggs were substantial and rewarding.

Yet to finish it, but it's fun, albeit hard to navigate
Getting lost is half the fun in Thief, though.

It's true though. It doesn't excuse bad map authors.
I don't really go play Thief for linear corridors, or the overly detailed maps that let me know where Constantine keeps his toothpicks.
I'm going a bit extreme here, but being lost for a while shouldn't be a dealbreaker. I could relate to your frustration, anyhow

>> No.2745386

>>2745374
Nah, see, I never got lost in Bonehoard. I'm talking about those fan made missions where you come across a door after three linear hallways and you can't find the fucking key. It's annoying as shit to have progression come to a stop because GayTaffer98 thought hiding a key inside a fucking fern was funny.

Attention to detail.

These are games that keep track of the number of people you have blackjacked... WHILE AIRBORNE.

>> No.2749627

>>2749586
I dunno, that one seems like an anti-detail to me because I often rack up one or two without doing anything special. I'm certainly not jumping or diving out of windows while blackjacking guys but sometimes they show up in my stats anyway.

>> No.2749642

>>2749627

I got most of mine jumping to get a clear swing at people on the other side of obstacles, so I know those maneuvers count.
