   Worst part about Thief fan missions is not knowing what's around the next 
corner. Instead of hiding in a dark alcove cause you hear a bunch of guards 
or bots, I save my game and do a suicide run into the next section to see 
where all the action is. Sometimes failure is only one guard. Why wait for 
the action?
