There is a bit of a resemblence between the two Father Karras's isn't there :)

Not sure how well known it is but one can continue to pick a lock without having to hold in the use key. To do so highlight the door/chest, press the use key while the inventory display is empty (or set to any non key-like item), cycle to the lockpick and then release the use key.
Very satisfying when one finds something that has a 15+ second lock stage.

Seemed hardly believable so I thought it was AF joke.

Will give that lockpick thing a try.
A real April Fool would be to say that while the area directly under Ramires' mansion is blocked off in T1's Lost City, if you go there in T2 it is accesible and turns out to be his burrick pit. The ancient version of it I mean.
Well, since they share the same map Ramires's mansion might well sit on top of something you can get to in either T1 or T2's Lost City. Maybe I'll check that out next time I play either game.
Also must give that loot shatter thing a try. Keep forgetting.

Yeah there was a FM with a giant invisible creature upstairs in a mansion. I let it loose, rampaging and killing guards, after making it follow me into the down stairs display room for of treasures. I shut off the lights so it wouldn't see me and just take out guards coming in that heard the commotion. Finally I wanted to take it out so started launching arrows where I thought it may be standing and one hit a lootable vase and it disappeared with a breaking sound.

I had at least a hundred hours and 2 playthroughs done before I realised the small bots in Thief 2 can't even see you... I told a mate and he didn't realise either.
The second biggest would be that there's an area in The Sword that has a massive green thing and if you shoot it with a broadhead arrow it drops onto the sword and so you can pick it up from the ground level. Blew my mind. 250+ hours and never knew about this area or trick. It was vaguely familiar I think I may have found it first playthrough 3 years ago but never knew shooting it did anything.
Also it took me a damn long time to find out you can shoot the cameras in Cragscleft to disable them and make the level a lot easier.
Also that there's a way to get to the open bit up high at the beginning of Cragscleft.
And how the hell the cell opening mechanisms work in Cragscleft, as in what order.
And that noisemaker arrows aren't useless in Thief 2.
And how to get 100% loot in the training level in DS.
And that in Thief Gold your character model is a tofu.
