RELEASE INFORMATION
Notes:
STORYLINE:
Thief: The Dark Project is a revolutionary first person action adventure
that introduces stealth, subterfuge, and mystery to a tired genre of
mindless shooting
As Garrett, a cynical and world-weary master thief, you must make use of
stealth and intellect to complete your missions. You live in an ancient
city of a fictional past where magic and primitive technology coexist
uneasily. Your victims are the city's corrupt and privileged nobility,
whose wealth is at your disposal as long as their guards don't see you, at
least not until it is too late.
Your dark heroics earn you the attention of a mysterious patron who offers
you a fortune if you can retrieve an enormous gemstone with a notorious
reputation. But it soon becomes clear that more is at stake than a
comfortable retirement. Your efforts trigger a conflict between veiled
powers who compete to pull your strings. You'll need all your strength and
wits to discover the truth and escape from the web of intrigue and
deception spun around you.
Garrett's adventures will take you through moon-lit city
streets, guarded mansions, secure prisons, blazing factories, haunted
cathedrals, abandoned ruins, grim catacombs, subterranean lost cities,
and even into strange, distant realms where the laws of this earth no
longer apply.
FEATURES:
Success requires more than firepower - use stealth and intellect to outwit
your enemies.
Unique weapons help you achieve your goals: Use your Blackjack to
knockout unsuspecting opponents, a noise arrow to throw them off the
trail, moss bombs to silence your footsteps in stone corridors, and if
these don't keep you out of sight, it might be time to resort to more
drastic measures, like a fire arrow, or your trusty sword.
The revolutionary "Dark Engine" TM provides advanced environmental
simulation never before achieved in a PC game. Advanced AI includes
creatures with "hearing" capabilities, which react to sounds in the
environment - so step lightly across the stones and look for carpeted
areas to sneak past enemies.
Improvise tactics in a fluid, ever-changing game world, without the
restrictions of conventional game engines. Provides realistic
simulation of fire, water, wind and their effects in the
game environment:
flammable objects catch fire, buoyant objects float, heavy objects
can be used to block doors.
Advanced graphics engine with multiple texture resolutions,
dynamic lighting.
Rip NOTES........
Over 300 megs of avi's went from this baby and some of the speech.
I elected to remove only the guards and hammers speech from this one, as
the game relies on the speech as part of the gameplay...
<Insert quote from readme.wri>
On Sound:
You really need sound to play Thief effectively. There's lots of speech
that is not subtitled, and if your speakers aren't turned on,
you won't hear it. (NOOOOO REALLY??? I DIDNT KNOW THAT :)
Hopefully i have not chosen the wrong speech to remove, but some had to
go, couldnt be helped :(.... But dont worry, there will be a speech addon
