I for myself can say I love the Thief series - especially I,II, T2X - nearly official addon well only like for that one but I want to include the link somewhere well haven't finished Part IV yet, feels a bit different and I really miss fundamental and fanatical religions in it.

Since a few years I myself are a part of the modding community of Thief 2 and the amount of great Fan Missions especially Mission X by team CoSaS is just amazing. take this as a link to the active community as well https://www.ttlg.com/forums/
For people who can read&understand Russion www.darkfate.org is also the #2 address (maybe you would argue it as the #1^^) for all other with Google Translator is probably the best source for Patches, Mods, Fan Mission(?), Art... out there!

HD Patches and even Patches to the engine buy a secret person/team? give these 20 year old games even today a modern look.


Those who don't know the game
Thief & System Shock are probably the predecessor or games like Bio Shock, Deus Ex and Dishonored and probably Stealth games in general as well. Some even have the same minds behind the games!


About the pool.

I know there are more stealth games or specifically games which offer that option like Dishonored, Deus Ex and many more... but excluded these, as the optional 'cruel' factor is often chosen as the main option.
As the principals are very similar, count both Styx Games and Thief I & II together ;)

What noteworthy games did I miss?

Beaten Shadwen. It's just ok IMO. I should give Styx a try. Let's see if I have it in my library.

I love Stealth games since MGS era on PlayStation :)

Edit: I have to Styx.

Which one?

Sad to see that Hitman was not in your list of options. Would you rather consider it more of espionage oriented game than stealth?

Never played it didn't think it was oriented in that direction.

+1. Highly recommended, there's various playstyles possible but for the best rating you need to play stealthy. Currently addicted to the Hitman series as you can see by my profile :P

I really liked the start of the first Thief game. I remember thinking at the time that it was the first game that really captivated me with its audio design. You really had to use your ears, and I found that this had a deeply immersive effect. However, I lost interest when the supernatural elements were introduced. Since then, I've found more satisfaction not from titles marketed as stealth games but from other atmospheric, immersive games that reward stealthy play, like theHunter Classic, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, Far Cry 2, and Amnesia: The Dark Descent.

I think the best stealth game is MGSV, from a gameplay standpoint that game is amazing.
Dishonored and its sequels and Deus Ex: HR and MD are about equally great.
I have only started playing the Styx sequel, the first game had some faults, but was quite okay too.

The final mission of T2 is ass (and made me quit the game for good), but otherwise it's a great game.

Think I played that mission finally on my 3rd or 4th play through. Story wise I watched the ending video and basically everything was clear? SKIP

If I try to look at it neutrally - In most missions you have too many resources, here they were more scares you could not know out every robot.
The crafting process looks a little bit like: "Hey look what cool script we were able to write", definitively it is there also is a formula to print quotes.
But play wise that level is not really fun.


If you still want some comeback for yourself, check out the Mission X above. One of the best Fan Missions created with a whole team behind it.

the original hooked me hard back in the day, still great memories tho I haven't played any of them in years. I don't think I ever actually got around to playing the newer one. All this talk tho is rly giving me the itch to play some dishonored now :D Also checking out that Dark Mod game. From my quick look over the pics n video it was giving me those nostalgias :)

thief 1 and 2 are great games. i loved every second of them and i finished each of them like 10 times. several times on hardest difficulty and once even with 100% of all loot in the game collected. i even put in all the fan fixes for single pieces of loot that glitched into walls and the floor during the years and couldn't be found otherwise.

deadly shadows was kind of disappointing. not bad but it lacked the old charm and it felt way too consolified. also i think effectively removing the keepers at the end of the game was a HUGE mistake for future games and their possibilities

the latest thief was ok as well but it felt strangely of out of place all the time. like no ties to the old games and in the end it felt kind of generic.

my little sister played all these games as well. i still taunt her now and then since i had to play both shalebridge cradle and moira asylum missions for her as she was too afraid to go any further than the front door.

Uhhhh never managed that, always something was missing...
Know I knocked out once everyone in Level 1 just to find this last missing piece - some small ring on a shelve.

Looks like I'm not far ahead of your sister. The Thief 1 zombies are horrible, my poor young age couldn't handle them xD
Beat Shalebridge exactly once - few times made it too the Door :D
The interesting part is actually it's not really hard. The first part is basically empty


In Thi4f the only connection is the Baron, but he was never really actually present in 1&2 as well expect for notes. That he is gone, some war...
