My theory about the level-skip cheat not working on my laptop proved correct. On normal keyboards you have two 'End' keys. One near the 'Home' 'Insert' keys. And also one on the '1' of the Ten-Key. My laptop however only has one 'End' key (on the '1' of the Ten-Key) and that does not work for the level-skip cheat. However the other one does and I have now successfully got a save in the Caverns on my desktop (albeit without any extra loot having no money). That will be my punishment for trying to play Thief during the week.

Long story short, I am back on track with Thief. I will forget those few nights of annoyance and will continue to enjoy the game as I did last weekend. All is good with the world :)

SSD sounds like Resident Evil in that you have to go into an off screen menu to manage your inventory. Even going as far as reloading your weapon, recovering health and swapping your equipped weapon. I don't know the gameplay of SSD but Resident Evil's is very slow paced, as you know. Even the fights with zombies and dogs is a slow placed experience. So having a menu for your inventory works well. If SSD is fast paced then I can imagine it being very annoying having to break the action to change your inventory.

You've been a great help with Thief. The only problem is (as you put it) that it was never fated to work on my laptop. Thief was and forever will be a desktop game for me.

EDIT: I have started playing Caverns and although I had got use to playing Thief on my laptop, going back to my desktop feels like silk to the skin. Plus I've just met Raoul and found out about the Opera House. I can already see why this level is liked so much. I think Raoul is my favourite character ever ^_^
