Yay! Did you start Thief4 yet? You mentioned an xbox, which is too bad
imho, as it looks fantastic on a fast pc, and I'm starting to get the urge
for a playthrough of the whole series again!

I did start Thief! I got just a little ways into a part where I had to go up
and across a wall and keep falling the %#!!! off of it! Then we all caught
the flu and are just now getting better from it.

Should I check it out? It's a Triple-A Title, been advertised on telly and everything. ;-) It came free with my mainboard and I have actually really enjoyed it. At first glance the gameplay most resembles that of the GTA series from GTA 3 onwards in that it's in a large open world type setting (in this case a near-future Chicago and surrounding area) however right from the start there is a major emphasis on hacking and clever play. While in some cases a big dumb full-frontal assault can work, it's often the case that your goals are better accomplished by guile and stealth. There are strong hints of influence from the Thief, System Shock and Deus Ex games. This isn't just limited to the hacking elements of the latter two but also in the way that most of the missions can be completed in any way you see fit - including The Lytha Way (ie zero damage and not being seen) in some cases. A Uplay account is required, but it's possible to play the game offline once it's activated and the online multiplayer elements are optional. If I didn't have a free copy the Uplay requirement would have probably meant I didn't buy it but it turned out I already had an account. Oh, and the game was free anyway! In the end I enjoyed it so much I bought the 'Season Pass' (what we used to call the Expansion Pack). -- Jades' First Encounters Site - http://www.jades.org/ffe.htm The best Frontier: First Encounters site on the Web. nos...@jades.org /is/ a real email address!
