I guess the fruit was made to trick you, to make you think the fruit in Escape had no healing properties or something. Anyway, as I said, Thief II fixes that. The new patch that everyone except us uses also has healing fruit, meaning quite an unbalance for levels with a lot of food (due to the intent that they were just there and wouldn't heal you). One more reason why I hate the patch.

You just went from trying to install Thief II on your laptop to having to go 2 weeks without it. At this rate I might just catch up. Forum posts really slow down the days. Next mission is on December 6, then it jumps to the 22. Basically that means a few from each month and I will be there, so I might just be able to play Thief II around the same time as you. However, my path goes down quite a different route after that so I will not be reaching Thief III for quite some time. Just so you know, Thief 1 to 2 is like Doom 1 to 2, it fixes some things but mostly is the same in mechanics. You will recognize a lot. Thief III feels like a totally different game as it is made by a different company on a different engine (it reminds me a lot of the Dark Mod actually, but apparently it has some sandbox element). Many people say it was inferior to the first 2, I could not tell you either way.

I have no idea how the note taking tool helps. As I said I never used it, I only figured out what it did by hitting random keys. In fact, Thief 2 does not have a training mission like Thief Gold did. So unlike everyone who started with the first game, I had to learn everything through experimentation. I know I was shocked when I found out I could pick up bodies. Back then I remember playing on normal, killing every person I met (I told you the story as how that was the game that opened all violent games to my disposal at such a young age). The scary thing is how much I must have played it, I can remember exact quotes. The funny thing is how even with all that I have no idea how certain things are connected (I used to question this a lot, especially arguably between the best two levels in the game).

Oh well, I got the Repeater now! I made it to the double door area (this is quite an expansive level). I would like this level better if it wasn't for the respawning probots and the 2-1B droids that I apparently can't kill. There are no innocents here! I miss level 5...

EDIT: Beat level 6. Started level 7. Realized I am the worst lightsaber duelest ever, not even getting a hit on him whilst he hits me every time. I feel rather pathetic at this stage...

EDITEDIT: Beat him without taking a point of damage? The secret? Jousting, basically running and slashing instead of just backing up. Well, made it to level 8 at least! I also spent my stars from level 6 here. I used 2 stars for force jump as you said it was handly, and one on force pull. Glad I didn't try to go from 3rd to 4th level in Force Run!
