I finished Thief 2.

Actually, I didn't think it was as good as 1 or 3, mostly because the last three missions left an awful taste in my mouth. I really would have hated Casing the Joint/Masks less if it had just been a single mission; Garret's never had to visit a place in two separate nights in order to effectively rob the occupants blind and deaf before, and I don't see why he should have to now just because the house is full of super secret passages and security systems and shite. Plus, when you initially case the mansion you don't get many opportunities to steal anything really valuable, so the next mission is basically you running around the place butt naked against twice as many guards as the last time. Not impossible, but fucking annoying.

I didn't care for Sabotage, either, mostly because the Builder's Children are a left ass to deal with on Expert and can frequently one-shot you in total darkness with little or no warning. Still a good game otherwise, though, I think my favorite mission was the one where you run around the Lost City kidnapping Cavador under the Mechanist's noses.

Now I have to figure out how to get the original game to not shit itself inside out on XP, because I haven't finished that one either. The demo version seems to work fine when I only run it on one processor, but the full game won't.
