It is indeed possible to ghost the mission and get all the loot. I managed to do so yesterday. And I'm by far not an experienced ghoster. I love my blackjack ;)
Here are some tips:
[SPOILER]As always, the more familiar you are with the mission's layout, the easier it gets to ghost. You don't need a single water arrow to finish the mission.
Enter the bar by climbing onto the roof and entering through the chimney. One of the fires doesn't hurt Dante if you're fast enough. You'll then end up in the "gardener's" room.
The secret corridor that connects two guest rooms comes in extremely handy, especially because you can sneak behind a guard who stands directly in front of a lit torch.
Avoiding the patrolling guards in the bar needs some luck. Sometimes I had to wait several minutes until there was a hole big enough to sneak past them unnoticed.[/SPOILER]
About the "extra":
[SPOILER]Replace the mining map with another one[/SPOILER]

OK, now I only have to find the last pocket to pick. I've taken the purse from the stationary guard, and the key, but were's the third?

There are a few other small errors in the level, but its well worth playing! :) Excellent job guys! Ouch. What happens is that Thief goes into a kick-ass cutscene mode... this is one of the reasons you're supposed to play on a FRESH BOOT. I suggest turning -off- your comp, turning it back on.. and when windows boots up, turn off damn enar everything except explorer (like AIM, Antivirus, etc) and run T2.
If that doesn't work, i'm not sure what to say. I'm runnign a realativly low end system and it all worked fine for me.

Yay, ttlg is up! And what do I see! CoSaS!
I downloaded the movies version, but I didn't get a briefing when I started the game. Is there something I'm doing wrong, or do I need to download the movies separately anyway? :-( Please help!

Are you using XP? If you are, then you need to re-install the codecs every time you boot or reboot your computer, if you want to play the movies. See the FAQ at the top of the (
http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=48024) Thief General Discussion Forum for more information, if this is the case.

I am not using xp. But I will check the FAQ. Thanks!

Even when you're not using XP, sometimes the codecs get corrupted and you need to re-install them. You can find them on your Thief CD. Look for a file called Iv5Play.exe. Copy it onto your hard drive somewhere, then just double click on it to run it. It's handy to have it someplace easy to get at like that, for when you need to re-install it. :)

I have done it! Meanwhile I went into my movies folder and watched the briefing. Pretty amazing! I think I'm watching it again. This guy seems . . . less selfish than Garrett? Could he be . . . nicer? We'll see.
How come when I knocked out the guy in the basement, he died? Oh wait, now I get it . . . bandage head. Whoops.
