You'd use oil flasks to temporarily slip up guards to make an escape, but using them on a slope or stairs would result in NPCs slipping and breaking their necks. This also works on the last boss. To be clear- you could easily cheese the last boss, this ancient, mystical monster who's lived for hundreds of years, by making her comically slip down a mild ramp. You could also make her slip into the ocean, but because she constantly regenerated health she'd just sit there on the sea bed making pain noises. For some reason the slip mechanic was just an instant kill trigger or something.

I completed a runthrough of the three Thief games last month and the one hot tip I have for Deadly Shadows is that when you go into floating movement pull your bow out, draw a shot, and press spacebar to cancel. It will get you back to normal without having to quicksave/quickload. It took me hours of play until I figured out cancelling the bow shot correctly after someone casually mentioned on the GOG forums that it would unstick you.

I’m not big into horror games, but I’ve got a soft spot for memorable singular levels that add a level of spookiness that the game previously didn’t really have.

There is absolutely no continuity. Game 2 ended on the premise that Garrett returns to the Keepers and that a weird story unfolds. Fast forward to Thief 3: Nah, it'll be fine! Thief 3 is a SIGNIFICANT step down and the story is neither in continuity nor on par with The Dark Project or The Metal Age. The plot is rushed, makes no sense at several points and the references back to Thief 1 and Thief 2 are poor to non-existant.

@@bobbwc7011 Thief 3 follows the ending of thief 2; he's waiting on the keepers to finally let him read their books and hear their prophecies. Then they give him a couple of additional hoops to jump through. Thus the story begins. The plot is definitely not rushed; it's complex, and most of the characters are paranoid to the point they're obscuring even basic information from everyone. Unlike the previous two stories, it's a mystery - the behaviour of the pagans and hammers are red herrings, meant to make the player think that either party are a growing threat, as some characters do. But that's the point; they're actually just keeping each other in check. The keepers, on the other hand, have become lax, and have a serial killer in their midst - they're corrupted to the point that when they hear there's a brethren and betrayer, characters suspecting that it's referring to *their selves*.

Of course this is not the case in this game. I have no idea what any of the people who worked on this game actually thought.

@@erichzannbusoumuzan This reminds me of this long discredited theory about the evolution and extinction of ammonites. It seemed that throughout their history on earth the shells of shelled cephalopods looked mostly the same with little variation until the late mesozoic, when there was an explosion of unusually shaped ammonites followed by a sudden extinction. This led some to speculate, that the shells were too odd to be practical and that all shelled cephalopods except some nautiluses died off because they looked too stupid. Apparently at the time many scientists believed that, if a lineage of organisms survives too long, they start to degenerate and go extinct.

The thing that seems strange to me with the faction system, is that you can be ally with both groups. Previous two games had that underlying theme of keeping balance, so you'd think you need to be careful to not tip the scale in either direction. But the favors for those two groups are not contradicting each other, so there's nothing to worry about.

5:35 Official sources back in 2004 stated that it's only been two weeks between Thief 2 and Deadly Shadows. (It was 18 months between Thief 1 and Thief 2) Sure, you find a lot less mechanist stuff than you'd expect, but that can be explained by the fact that Garrett explores the oldest parts of The City in this game. In the end of Thief 2, Garrett asks Artemus to tell him about the Keeper prophecies. The next two weeks Artemus is petitioning the council to allow Garrett to visit.

One of my favorite moments is when you have to escape from The Hag from within the Keepers' sanctuary. There's a mini-twist where she brings to life the many statues you've already seen many times walking/sneaking around the place. It really brings home how she is both beyond and at the foundation of that institution. I personally always preferred her over the trickster myself for that reason, she always seemed to act more like a trickster in that the namesake, anyways.
@yusukeelric2 жыл бұрын
yeah , i feel like the trickster loses his trickster trait once he deceives Garret. For a trickster he didn't have more tricks under his sleeve. Even Karras was more aware of your presence and trhrew some curve balls at you by releasing more bots to places you were before in the last mission. But the trickster seems to ignore you are still alive and forgets about you even if you decimate half his monsters and destroy his portal. the dude is never aware of you even when he dies. wich deflates his previous build up.

The chaos on the streets that can happen and WILL happen in the game is one of its highlights for me. The Market district or whatever it was called was the best due to how cramped it was, ensuring that at one point, I saw a bunch of Hammerites fighting Pagans, with some magic explosions and civilians running around in utter panic while the City Watch tried to unsuccessfully pacify the rioters with their double-edged stun battons. Maybe the statues or enforcers were there too. And what's cool is that those clusterfucks will emerge even without the player's assistance. Fun fact: the statues can actually be killed by Pagan or Hammerite magic. Quick question: does the fan patch or some official patch fix the fishmen and statues not being able to hit Garrett when he crouches? With the fishmen swinging those massive two handers of theirs. It was funny but also immersion-shattering to see.

@@bobbwc7011 I disagree. Thief 3 is the natural conclusion to the thief games as a complete allegory of human nature. Thief 1: The forces of raw, primal nature. The villain is an exaggeration of what Garret is, just like Mandy said. He wants to bring darkness and take away everything man has made. Thief 2: The forces of creation, structure, technology. The villain is an antithesis of Garret - Manipulative, vindictive, genocidal, vicious. He wants to create a world of emotionless machine slaves. Thief 3: The forces of balance, the arcane, the mysterious. The villain contains both elements of the Trickster and Karras. She is greedy, manipulative, vindictive and murderous, but she is also hungry for knowledge and immortality, with an army of stone minions. The plot of thief 3 is all about balance and how balance is a natural process in nature. It does not need the Keepers, it will find a way to restore itself. There was never any influence on the prophecies, no god, ancient magic or mechanical or stone army can stop the equilibrium.

I found myself wondering something at the end of the review but Mandy being like, "No. the answer is no, and I don't know what you're talking about." put all my worries to rest.

41:17 that quote was so good it made me pause and think on it a bit. Reminded me the quote from the movie 'Her' about reading a book you love.

"I'm afraid we're going to have to rip a few pages from the book of names" Thank you for this review trilogy. I greatly enjoyed the trip down memory lane.

Appreciate your reviews Man. They are incredibly detailed, balanced, and funny as hell. I don’t even like half the game types you talk about and I watch all of them. Great work.

Thank you for the Kung Pow reference. The fact that this game could have been great is Badong.

The 90% loot requirement on expert reminds me of Bethesda ridiculous decision to tie survival mode to all the bullet spongey, insanely high damage enemy difficulty in Fallout 4. They both lump together two gameplay options that don't really have anything to do with each other.

It's been a while since I played that game but I'm pretty sure survival made everyone much easier to kill

@@terribleivan1475 I played it when it was first available and it turned everything into a bullet sponge, I know they overhauled it in the 1.5 patch but I never tried it after that so I don't know if this was addressed or not. New Vegas did it better as survival mode was a separate option from difficulty.

@@lordwisehammer oh wow that is awful, I do agree new Vegas had a better idea of just adding in optional mechanics for better immersion instead of forcing a new difficulty on you
