A shame such a great games gets such an annoying near-climax level.

I think I'm going to start the level now. I've never been home so early :D

EDIT: Hmm, 20 minutes in and already very interesting. It's got my favourite 'no kill, no kaplunk' objective. You did well to hide that from me. I don't understand why we're going through this mansion for a metal mask when Servants seen in the Lost City patrolling with Cavador had them. Or have I missed something here?

EDIT 2: I have gone over the entire mansion now, been scared of the library (never going in there again) and the objectives make no sense. Also where is the elevator key?

Where is M!?

EDIT 3: Out of all the levels in The Metal Age, that has got to be my most hated. Although it's only half because of the level itself. For the first time since starting to play Thief 2, I am having game crashing problems. For some reason loading some saves causes the game to crash and it's a lottery whether the game won't crash and whether I can then load my latest save.

Secondly it was not clear in the cut scene before that Garrett was merely scoping out the security. If it was clear then it wasn't clear enough, Shut Up! The objectives made no sense when you thought you were looking for a mask to steal. There is something wrong with that level.

The Library was scary, I had chills. But it was ruined by the level.

I will say this, it is fitting following us both completing this level. Dromund Kaas is difficult. Those three levels are my most favourite three levels in all history. But they are so unbelievably difficult, so nightmarish, that on my first play through of Mysteries of the Sith (around 2006), I gave up. Now this is important because Jedi Knight was my favourite game and I loved and owned the gameplay. But level of difficulty of Dromund Kaas is so high, that it makes the rest of DF, JK and MotS feel like a ruddy training course. I've come close to saying 'fuck it' in Thief. I want you know what I've said so that you realise what Dromund Kaas is like so that you're surprised and end of giving up.
