I was talking about simple preset ropes as well. Depends on the map I guess when it involves rope arrows. There are certain levels where you will be much better off using rope arrows.

The holy water arrow is great against zombies. And you will probably find more of a use for dousing torches as the game progresses.

Eh, might eventually try it just like you did Thief. Right now I am too much into Thief to go to something else. I am working towards where I gave up last time I played through. I have already hit missions that I completely forget the layout for and thus might as well be a blind playthrough.

Luckily I have a lot more patience than I did back then. I wonder if I might have even used walkthroughs prior to that point, I know I was apt to be impatient when younger and faqs were so tempting. Hopefully you don't resort to the route I did and instead do it like I am trying now, patience and logic. So far it seems to pay off, mostly with me blundering into whatever treasure I was supposed to steal almost completely by accident. I have yet to hit a point where I am completely at a loss for continuing, like I used to encounter.

Tomorrow will be your return to Thief I guess. The whole undead thing, such as in the Bonehoard, seems to have been Looking Glass Studio's lack of confidence in the genre. They felt they needed more of a platformer like Tomb Raider in order to achieve success. When many complained, we ended up with Thief 2 with a focus on humans. Others, like me, grew to like it due to it just being another challenge. I don't think there is a Thief map that can go wrong, even that fan mission that was a test of DromEd and consisted of me jumping out of a door was amazing. That is just the magic of the game I guess, even the worst fan maps can become great in the best games.

So, you sticking with Hard or going to Expert? Know that you will have extra challenges on Expert beyond not killing anybody.
