<div class="IPBDescription">Fanmade Thief 2 expansion pack :i</div>Today a bunch of dedicated amateurs have <i>finally</i> released their fully fledged Thief 2 expansion pack after 5 years of work, so now is a very good time to dig out your copy of T2 and reinstall it. I'm still downloading, but it's 655mb in size and several of their initial developers were stolen by Ion Storm for Deadly Shadows - which is promising? The Thief community probably has the best collection of singleplayer mappers alongside classic Doom, so I'm expecting something quite sexy. :i

Was that a.... SPAM post by ol' Nem?
I.. also don't own T2 <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
No. I noted that I find the game's visuals and scope intriguing, and went on that I'd happily play it if only I owned the original game in question. Show me the occasion on which I locked or nuked a smiliar message <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
SWEET! More Thief : D : D : D

Thief 2 (together with Deus Ex) was available on a DVD that came with a computer game magazine issue some time ago. I managed to find a friend who was a subscriber, but wasn't interested in the DVD.
I don't know if this'll help you much, Nem, because I don't know if Computer Gaming World is as international as its name implies. But at least this info may help a fellow North American gamer or few.
/me starts scouring the grabble bins.
Nevertheless, it's great stuff for those who want more Thief <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->.

Thief 2 is <i>not</i> abandonware. It's still being sold by distributors specialising in otherwise out-of-print games. I think my copy is curtosy of a "Sold Out Software".
So... has anyone other than me actually played it yet?
large dload for my laptop, considering the amount of crap on it. inconvenient for the desktop which is not mine. will def play however
Yes, its very good. Stays true to the thief universe (more so than thief 3 imo). The level design, the voice acting, the literature (books, scrolls) the fmv cutscenes.. all quality stuff. Clearly its a real labour of love.
1: t2 budget five pounds
2: what ever happend to that ut version of thief mod (where you had guards and thiefs?) that was going onto ut2004??
