Trust me, over time you will learn that certain things can be used in various ways. Broadhead arrows in particular are great and versatile.

I doubt you could even understand his level of knowledge right now. He is quite skilled and has had many deep discussions about Thief with me. You must get heavy into the lore to reach his level, which of course I am perhaps even more insane with.

Yes, I know that. I just also know that the initial price is usually pretty high and it comes down, so I might have waited, I forget. Exact years are hard to remember, I just know for sure that I had it by late 2001 as I would write Thief walkthroughs in a journal every day. You were supposed to talk about your day, but my day was Thief, so it was relative, rofl.

I am an extreme pessimist. Trust me, I have had dozens of people trying to make me into an optimist. Not many people can stand you talking about yourself being a failure, either they wish to prove you wrong or they get upset that you are vocalizing it and thus perhaps asking for pity. I always see myself as failing and I usually do, so it is more apathetic and less devastating than if I was optimist.

MMOs are RPGs and thus are in the field of playable but not heavily enjoyable. I never get immersed in an MMO and often feel bored. The respawning enemies don't help, I just feel like I did absolutely nothing worthwhile. Usually the plotline is that I am some sole elite hero, then I see hundreds of other elite heros walking around. I also get so panicky about levels, worried I will miss something if I level too fast, even though none of it matters and I could definitely not recount any of it. Random drops, PvP noob killers... the list goes on for why it is tedious.

Trust me, you will learn to be thankful for not dying via a rope arrow in time. You can hear me tense up in the video every time I am about to shoot one, it is that much pressure, lol. My biggest challenge in Thief tends to be rope arrow bugs, like I said there was a point where it just got ridiculous in The Sword. There is an area in that level that can require many rope arrows and also tends to be highly buggy, perhaps due to the number, but is a highly recorded issue. Even when I succeeded, there were two points in that playthrough where I nearly died and was saved by a stroke of luck, xD.

No, you were fine, you were just copying Raadec. My criticism was pointed at his grammar structure, it looks weird to a person that can tell the difference just based on dialog. He had an odd hybrid. I assume though that you were talking from the perspective of a thief, which is just modern english. Listen to how Garrett speaks, he never uses any Old English terminology. Old English is Hammerites. A guard would say "That's it, you've had it" while a Hammerite would say "Striketh with me my brothers".

Lytha is a person, just a real life person that created the Lytha style. She was a pretty big person in the community back in the day, though she disappeared at some point due to stress. She was moderator of the most popular forum for Thief and often would reorganize posts only to get ranted at. The Lytha way basically is the same as ghosting, though with some more specifics.

Trust me, it makes things a lot crazier. I usually only do it when it is a last second dive for the exit, I just need to reach something around the corner but have some crazy mob party after me.

Oh, yeah. I told you I have done some insane stunts that I look back on and laugh. That was just perfectly executed. I mean, I accidentally hit the switch that was raising it, but I couldn't exactly stick around and it ensured a route to safety in the end!

Basically, this is why I stink at ghosting. I am bound to end up with some crazy situation. From what I have seen, most ghosters just save scum, which seems like a challenge they can't really do but work through it regardless by saving a bunch. Iron Mode takes a lot of patience, like I said you will learn quickly that every rope arrow you use will be a life threatening risk depending on height. Usually the ones that kill you will be over a pool of Lava or something.
