r/Thief

I was overjoyed whenever I worked on this film. With no prior knowledge on how to make a film, I learned by doing, and applied all my skills, from photography to guitar-playing, to tell a story of my childhood and of Thief's influence upon it. The important part for me was to capture that dreamlike atmosphere that childhood inspires, where nightmares and imaginary friends blend into a strange tapestry.

When my girlfriend joined the project as assistant director is when wild ideas began sprouting. 'We should have a personalized Tarot card with Garrett in it...' 'And it should glow in the dark!' But, honestly, if you look at Garrett's story long enough, and stare at the visual language of the game, you find that there is magic afoot! Aside from the magical symbols, Garrett himself is a sort of prophetic figure, the great balancer of forces, bringing equilibrium to the City. And, as a thief, he teaches us that there is more to the darkness than meets the eye.

It was really my father who introduced me to Thief and this film acts as a sort of homage to him. He was a great photographer and always scanned his film photos, and catalogued them thoroughly. Whenever I would uncover a new folder of photos from when I was 6, a wave of emotions would emerge from some vanished corner. A couple of years after my father's death, I started this project as a way to make a posthumous collaboration and remembrance.

The fear of the dark, just as my father and I had, mirrors our fear of the Unconscious, and of all the strange beings residing there. A kid's imagination is a frightening thing. But that's what Garrett teaches: that darkness is not a negative thing, it is not a lack or a void, but a door, a way. Shamans meditate in the dark to have an easier passage into the realm of the Gods. And Garrett lingers in the darkness to get paid, certainly, but also to unwillingly balance the cosmos. Darkness is a door between our realm and that of the Unconscious. And Garrett, foolish as he may seem at first, becomes enlightened precisely because he can glance into the dark and see the infinity beyond the void.

Among them Deus Ex and Thief.

I heard that playing Thief 2 helps but isn't it on a totally different system than Thief 1 (which is what Black Parade runs on I believe)?

My favorite is Trickster/Constantine, he had a unique vibe and I like how chaotic his mansion was. Karras was an interesting dystopian dictator that was very dangerous, while Gamall was more of a small scale villain for me.

About 5 years back I downloaded the FM Second City Bank which everyone says it's easy and straightforward. I played for a bit, got stuck, put it aside and every so often come back to it and then remember why I sidnt finish it.

I feel like an idiot because this is meant to be easy but I can't even find the manor with the pool on the roof let alone the bank. What am I doing wrong?

Hi,

Not sure how to make a post. I can't get Thief 2x to play. Every time I press the thief 2x shortcut after installation it comes up with an error message saying.

Error.

Your video hardware is not supported or no supported video mode was found.

I can happily play the normal version of the game though.

I've recently just finished the black parade and wanted to give this ago.

It's all been installed in the correct thief 2 folder location from steam and I have TFix installed aswell.

Any help?

Thanks.

I've tried it before and it does technically start, but the intro cutscene repeats and keeps me from accessing the main menu. I can't quite find a solution for this that works on Linux, and the methods to use the Sneaky Upgrade tweaker I've tried don't work.

You know, brooding cynical antihero protag who is a thief or rogue, dark city steam punk fantasy setting, warring factions in the city vying for power, conspiracies everywhere, that sort of thing.

I dusted off Thief 4 yesterday. After 12 years, I figured I give it a second play through. I feel like a moron that the first time I played it, I either ignored or used the throwabke objects as distraction.

I like to always try and get the 'Undected' thieving goal in missions. Imagine my surpise and delight when I learned if you throw object to land on top of the npc's head, they KO. It counts as a knockout and a headshot for thieving goals.

I am dumb for not figuring this out sooner.

Heard it already includes a patch to fix bugs!

Do you think things that happened between the 2nd and 3rd game are possible IRL? The world going back in terms of level of technology a lot? I think it was also funny how all of this happened just because of Karras's death.

Hello everyone! The Preservation Program is now in the hands of our Patrons, who can vote through the Patrons Hub. But we’re curious what your pick would be too.

Which game would you add to the Preservation Program? :D

• Metal Gear
• Thief Gold
• Thief II: The Metal Age
• Desperados: Wanted Dead or Alive
• Commandos Ammo Pack

Hi everyone! Just wanted to share that two Thief games are now included in the current Preservation Program vote on GOG. The winning title will join the program :D

The other games in voting are:
• Metal Gear
• Commandos Ammo Pack
• Desperados: Wanted Dead or Alive

Curious to hear which game you’d choose: Thief Gold or Thief II?

I am just curious about it

Some:
- better alignment when walking/shooting. Sometimes i point good but i am too close to the wall so the arrow doesn’t pass
- 3rd person view
- wall climbing like in Thief (3)
- being able to use hammers

I played the demo when it came out and I thought it was pretty good (very similar to Dishonored but without supernatural abilities). I am thinking of starting with this game first and then the 3rd and finally the other 2 "masterpieces"
