What is wrong with Strange Bedfellows? It is another level where you can play how you like, just like every other good level in the game. Right? It’s not broken like Casing the Joint or boring like Undercover.

That segment sums up Undercover. You just can’t do anything without risking that one the guards is a psychic and can see your every move. If it was a game play mechanic it would be cool but it is just a poorly executed mission with a massive glitch.

Forgive my ignorance but what fuels the undead? And why are Hammerhaunts so powerful? The Trickster’s forces are not undead, they are just strange creatures.

I saw a note in Escape! which basically tells the whole story of DP. It’s a note from the Trickster saying how he hates technology because it lights up the shadows that people feared. He wants the Dark Project because then people will go back to respecting and fearing him. Again, this fact is not rammed down your throat like any other game. You have to be vigilante and look for this stuff yourself like a real thief.

EDIT: I've completed DP. The final battle is a great ending, stopping the enemy right as they are about to claim ultimate victory. I just thought that it would have been very easy to have Viktoria as a boss in Escape! or Bedfellows but Looking Glass didn't go down the path of normal. They saved her for a greater part in the second half of the story... The Metal Age.

I don't know if its intended but the all the sword enemies seem to be able to hit you without much of a sword swing animation. Although the weaker guards do seem to be a lot slower. That makes it difficult to block any enemy sword. But of course the Ratbeasts and Hammerhaunts can attack much faster making them a lot tougher. But also the Hammerhaunt has a lot of health that makes him even tougher.

BUT we don't talk much about the Insect-Beasts. I found them to be a real challenge in the last few levels. I'm not sure if it's because their insect ball attack is more damaging in Expert or not. What do you think?

EDIT 2: Thief 2 keeps crashing like Thief 1 due to the multiple CPUs. Do I use the same fix to fix it. If so, please remind me how.
