I am scared... (some thief 3 spoilers)

[Mr.Reak]

I am at Shalebridge Cradle mission right now. You know, I always thought Return to the Cathedral (mission from first Thief) was one of the scariest things I ever encountered in the game. Well, it’s true, until I played this mission. Jesus Christ, I only started and I don’t have strength to finish it, I am physiologically drained :/ I always play game at night, so it adds a lot to the atmosphere. But here damn, I mean you hear all these sounds, but you don’t see anyone. I think the scariest part in the whole mission is that I didn’t encounter any monsters, ghosts, zombies yet. But I hear like someone is walking behind me, like someone is banging on the door. Argh… thanks god place is dark, but man, I know I need to

Spoiler

turn on the power

, and after lights go on, I will crap myself even more. I don’t know to play this level when there is no place to hide.

 

[Sprafa]

Turn around and FACE IT!!!!


lol

actually, no game has ever managed to get me scared. Maximun was suspense.

That’s a problem, I turn around and there is absolutely nothing. I don’t know what the heck I should be facing when I can’t even see it

[The Dark Elf]

heh cool, gotta luv a game that can scare

 

[Mr.Reak]

Ohohoh, I just saw something move... HAHAHA, I JUST SAW HOW IT MOVES! BHAHA.... I have no idea how I will ever be able to finish this mission.

 

[Sui]

man, your really tempting me to get this game. damn you americant with your early release dates!!! damn you!!!

btw, do you actually get to meet monsters and zombies? i havent played the first two...

 

[Tinneth]

When you hear the noise or see something move..pull out your minigun and mow the entire place down. Then you have no need to be scared.

 

[Alig]

I have to say...you make the game sound quite good i downloaded the demo last night and i went through all the training mission and thought it was a really really shite game but hmm....is the demo just a bad demo because it wouldnt make me want to go buy it (i havent played the first two either or ever heard of it).

Bhaha, no, far from it

 

[Neutrino]

I just started that mission to, Mr.Reak.

I agree it's one of the creepiest game levels I've ever seen. Anyway, back to it. =)

Damnit, I swear there is something behind me ;(

 

[Pitbul]

just think, your a thief, and darkness is your greatest allie. you should actually be welcoming the darkness in every part of the game, not scared of it.

 

[Neutrino]

Ack, I am completely stuck on the cradle level...

Spoiler

I just picked up the bird cage and need to take "to the right spot" to go into the past. I read in a book that the girl use to hang the birdcage on the Balcony so I assume that is where I need to take it. Well, my question is, where the heck is the balcony? I've searched all through both the outer and inner cradle and I don't remember ever seeing any balcony. I need to get past this level as it is hell on my nerves, heh.

Any help would be much appreciated.

 

[Mr.Reak]

Ack, I am completely stuck on the cradle level...

I don't really know, but

Spoiler

Try other things, you only need to do it for one person. I did the easiest one, take spoons/forks from room #2 and bring themt o the plate at dinning room. Or mask from a electric chair and bring it to the room #1. After that just don't get cut.

 

[Neutrino]

I don't really know, but....

I actually finally found it. I had walked right past it a dozen times, but it was in a dark spot. Thanks though.

 

[Pitbul]

i can find the freakin switch for the safe, i feel ashamed of myself. can someone tell me where its at?

 

[Johan_Tayn]

in the demo, the switch is the torch thing on the wall to the right of the fireplace. I found it right away after I realized I needed to find a "hidden" switch.

 

[Mr.Reak]

What level? I don't remember any safes in this level.

 

[BPetway23]

Thief scary?
Silent Hill 2, when you were in the apartments, now that was scary.

As I said, until you played that level, you have no room to talk.

Why does this game run so poorly on my computer? I can run Far Cry at Very High settings but I have to descrease the resolution to 800x600 in Thief 3 and the framerate is still crap!

I've got a Pentium 3.2 Ghz, a Geforce ti4200 and 512 megs of RAM by the way.

 

[Mr.Reak]

Well, what setting do you have on? Turn bloom off and AA off.
Game runs poorly because engine is crap, plus real time lighting/shadows is a real hit on the computer.

 

[CrazyHarij]

I hate this engine...

 

[DarkStar]

They're both off. Everything is off. It still runs like poo.

 

[Neutrino]

Do you have the latest drivers and all too? Cause I have a 2.5 XP, 512 ram, and a Ti4400 and it runs great at 1024x768 so you shouldn't be having any problems I wouldn't think.

I visit Guru 3D all the time and keep up with all the latest drivers. Your gfx card is just slightly better than mine so I shouldn't really be having THIS many troubles. Hmmm....

 

[BPetway23]

I got over 30 fps in 800x600 on the demo with a p4 2.4 radeon 9200 <your card should run it much better than mine

 

[dassbaba]

lol i like how everything is a spoiler =P

d'oh, i found it like 5 minutes after posting the question. now im heading back from collecting something from that underground cult thats talks like Golum from LOTR.
