Nice, even Ninja is playing now :). This has become the Thief Gold playing thread! Ironic, isn't it. This is supposed to be a place for Quake, yet we get 3 people who end up getting together to play Thief.

Raadec is on the Bonehoard, so no it is not just with Gold. Well, maybe, I also know that the original levels were improved. I have heard that Bafford's might not have that cave, the guards in Craigsleft patrol a lot less, and the Bonehoard repeats a few duller textures repeatedly in the original. Gold also made the first Easter Egg (Training) for all difficulties if I am correct as well as changing the text, whilst adding a second Easter Egg (which I never saw and only heard of until this playthrough, when I ended up deciding after finishing the mission to find out how to access it, which is kinda legal as it is a obscure secret and not an objective so I don't feel like I cheated. I feel like an idiot now that it is so simple and walked past it 10 or so times due to noticing the entrance). The Blooper Reel mission accessed through DromEd (which I have yet to do, but will upon completion) seems to also be from Thief Gold.

Sorry for all the vagueness Ninja, but while Raadec tries not to spoil it for you I am trying not to spoil too much for Raadec. I am quite a bit further than him, but he probably will soon catch me due to his speed on the missions (probably also helps to be on a lower difficulty). Taking a few hours on every mission shows how slow paced I am as I attempt to explore every room in every level that I can find. So we both have different styles as we attempt to be master taffers. Have fun Ninja, I bet you will be faster than both of us. But, as said, part of it is the slow pacedness and stealth. I have actually just reached the mission that I never was able to beat due not finding a way forward/restarting. So after beating this level it will be all new territory for me (though by now I am pretty much playing blind as I have no recollection of what to expect).

I remember the face very vividly, that is one of the areas that the rope arrow just failed to function. I ended up having to reload the game which somehow fixed my problem. Raadec has yet to reach an extra level for Gold.

Also, I hope to beat it finally after years of procrastinating to do such. No more returning for no reason (though I do replay the old missons in other saves earlier in the night so as to have it fully dark when I explore the new level). I also have learned how to NPC Jump, though it isn't very controlled and I am still working to get onto the window in the training level.

Hopefully QuakeWiki will become a lot bigger, I have tried to expand it as I could in the Quake 1 direction which should lay templates for the other games and expansions. I even have a template that was never used for the multiplayer maps, so someone else could probably easily complete those. Right now I am too much into my addiction (plus, it is difficult for me to play 2 games at once, I tried that with Quake and Unreal yet became confused, both of those are similar in function so I would be scared to do something like that with Thief).
