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! JJ (UK)

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? JJ (UK)

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. > Albert > Albert

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!

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.
