I arrived at the Cathedral, got the clue from the floating thing (no idea what it’s talking about) and then I had to quit for tea and then I had to leave for home. I definitely like Thief a lot more now just by getting to grips with the combat. Those spectres are a pain though, I’m sure one of them did 7 health of damage, killing me out right. I’ll just have to avoid them at all costs. They are ‘reputed to be powerful enemies’. Since Thief is made up on human and monster levels, it’d be silly for me to despair playing half the game. Now I can enjoy it more and I look forward to playing more regularly again.

You’ll be impressed by the Concussion Rifle. You won’t be thinking it’s overpowered when you’re saved by it in level 9 and beyond. Just take the time to get use to the way it works, it’s worth it.

The bunny is called Max from another game made by Lucasarts. That map easter-egg is one of a few that Lucasarts have put in the Dark Forces games. The other two appear in Jedi Knight but I’ll let you find them on your own. One of them is a bit more than a map outline, quite a bit more.

Jedi Knight does indeed have mouse look and you can save whenever you like, either via the save menu or by quick save. Everything you could ever need.

I don’t want to say anything about which levels are hard or difficult, you will obviously find out yourself very soon. I will also not say anything about when Ke appears. It could level 9, level 10, level 11 or even level 14. Or 12 or 13. It could anywhere :D And just because a few levels are much more difficult than others, it doesn’t mean the others are walk in the park. I assume you’ve not reached the wide open areas of Nar Shadda, the Concussion Rifle will come into its own before you know it.

Each weapon has its advantages depending where you are, tight corridor or massive room. I too only use a few weapons throughout the game. 95% of the time it’s the Stormtrooper Rifle. The others are the Thermal Detonator (when I have no cells) and the Repeater if the enemy is a long way away and I can’t reach them. Then there’s the Concussion Rifle which I really only use against Bounty Hunters because the Imperial Forces aren’t as much of a threat (meaning the Stormtrooper Rifle is plenty good enough for them).

There’s still one weapon you’ve not obtained… but you have seen it.
