Thief 3 - Deadly Shadows - Things to do when bored

Archived from groups: alt.games.thief-dark-project (More info?)

I am curious if others have things to contribute so here goes
something I have tried.

Before I begin I should mention that I am messing with the
default.ini and setting all the difficulty levels to a Zero.
Maybe this matters and maybe not ?


I wanted to try out some of "G"'s equipment.


Moss Arrows :
-------------
Creates Moss most of the time but not all surfaces.

Shooting Hammerites in the face when they are your allies
during Normal difficulty level does not (version 1.0)
does not affect your alliance rating with them. (if you are
in the mood and since were not dealing with real people in
the game). It sure is funny watching them choke on the moss.
Yes you can aim point blank in their Hammerite face and watch
the fun.

The game claims(version 1.0) that shootting water arrows at moss
will make them grow more. That has not happend in all areas. Some
street areas the moss just got washed away or decreased.)

Back to the shooting moss arrows in the face for a moment. It also
works on the Keepers Enforcers. Sure is funny Reading their Mumbled
thoughts. (smirk)


Fire Arrows :
-------------
In the Docks area sometimes I have noticed if you put out a torch
then when you look again there is a Fire Arrow in it's place. I
dont remember if the only time I saw it was by the thieves seller
place by the docks but perhaps there are other places in the game
that does this too.


Gas Arrows :
------------
Works better when more than one victim is in place.


Cimbing Gloves :
----------------
They kind of work. However (version 1.0) if you get on top of a high
ledge I have yet to figure out how to get back down with them if there
are no higher walls around so you can navigate your way back down.

They do not work on all surfaces. They also will not allow you to
move around some corners or objects.

(psssd. where are the girls dorms for Garret? Only Kidding here...)

Has anyone in Normal level been able to climb back down from those
higher buildings? Once I am on top and there is no place else to
go then what ?

....

Moving on a bit here.

Things the characters say in many respects are funnier now that I
have gotten around in the game than in the beginning.

Pickpocket sayings are pretty good.

Guards sayings are also pretty good.


Moving along here to my wish list now with some new ones versus the
last time I made comments.

I would like to see if Garrete is allowed to say something that is on
the users/players mind when speaking to inhabitants etc.

I still wish the picking up of loot was better. Sure seems to be tricky
yet. Gives me the feeling of trying to pick stuff up with a piece of
gum at the end of a straw through a sewer grate if you get my drift.

More free equipment would be fun.


I better get my bones outa here.... looking forward to tricks and things
to do in T3 ....
