Well, Basso's useless isn't he?

I've got in the building and picked up some MORE objectives but all Basso
can do is half unlock some doors.

So, I'm stuck. HELP, PLEASE!

This is a very complex mission and it's not one of my favourites so I can't 
really help much with it. Jason Otto, the author, wrote a walkthrough though 
so perhaps you could check through it to find out what you need to do next.

Hmmm, it sez 'ere:

"* Steam Tunnel 1 *

This tunnel is hidden at the bottom of the elevator shaft..."

I can see the entrance to the tunnel but it's not open. Anyone know how I
can open it?

  Nightwalker goes out of her way to give you a vague answer to Thief 
questions. Oh sure it is correct. Like if you need a key to finish a mission 
her hint is look on the floor of the cave. Even if the cave is so big it 
takes twenty minutes of head down searching. What a gal!

What exactly did I do to deserve that sort of sarcasm?? I go out of my way 
to answer every question I can for people who are stuck on something and 
have done for years.

  Don't pick on Nightwalker. Those are fighting words if you do. She has 
helped me and others on countless occasions.
  Nightwalker, there are plenty of people on your side, so don't let one 
bad apple discourage you.

Don't mind him.  He must have the holiday blues or something.  You've
helped the rest of us innumerable times, me included.  Thanks!!

   She has assisted me also. Wasn't trying to appear rude. Just that several 
times in her walkthrus and answers they are kinda vague. If someone asks how 
to open a door she will reply search the room for a hidden switch instead of 
saying search behind the bed for a hidden switch. After all the switch could 
be on the ceiling.

Since the main joy of Thief, for most of us, is exploring and discovering 
things for ourselves, I will try to nudge someone in the right direction 
first unless asked for a total spoiler. If that's not enough, then I'll give 
more detail. The walkthroughs are generally pretty specific as to location 
of keys, switches and important items.

Your post made it sound like you thought I was just pretending to know where 
things are which was rather disturbing since I try to make very sure that my 
answers are correct, even if I have to replay part or even all of a mission 
to check my facts.

  At the point of asking or looking for clues most times the player is 
completely frustrated. Unless he/she gets the exact answer right away... 
aarrrrgghhhh! I will state that you have been the best guide ever of all 
Thief guides. Thanks for letting me vent a little madam. :)

Reborn Rolla,
  I think that is where the confusion is. There are asking for clues and 
there are flat out spoilers. A clue would be which room or which area. A 
spoiler would be northwest corner, behind 2nd bush on the left, etc.

    Thanks buddy. I realize that now. There seems to be a fad among fan 
mission makers to start missions with no weapons. You have to search for 
your blackjack and sword etc. This is like the fad of having to read 46 
scrolls that are multi-pages.
