He's an alcoholic City Watchman, extorting a tavern for booze. He has a little nook to himself. You can steal the bottle for loot. Remember now? :D

The reason he became the example I used is because, if you knock him out, then try to read his journal later, it'll trigger a non-existent Book text and an error will pop up in-game, saying OQ_HauknorReformed not found, suggesting getting blackjacked originally made him realise the error of his ways, but that file was deleted, and is no more. Here's more than you ever wanted to know:

OQhauknorjounal: "Diary of R. Hauknor

Tuesday
The whole thing's running smoother than I could have hoped. Every night I show up, they hand over the stuff. I'm happy, and them? Well, they get to stay in business. It's a sweet arrangement, and the best part is, I'm the sole beneficiary of the deal. Don't have to add it to the City Watch pool - 'cause they don't know about it. See, it takes real brains to pull off a good profitable scam. And if nothing else, I got real brains.

Wednesday
I was just thinking to myself, why not drink a little of the stuff? Say, every third bottle or so. Won't cut in to my profits too much, and besides, I'd just end up spending the dough on liquor anyway. See, now that's real brains again. Probably just saved myself a bunch of coin."

OQHauknorTavern_002000, m14c0102: "Save your hellos for someone who cares. I'm here for just one reason. Now, where's my bottle?"

OQHauknorTavern_003000, m14c0103: "We had it delivered to the guard station for you. An extra fancy bottle today."

OQHauknorTavern_004000, m14c0104: "I didn't ask for your opinion. And tomorrow make it cognac--gold label. And less talk. We don't need to announce these transactions."

That's okay. There's still no end in sight for all the treasures Thief holds.

Every object can have an "outofworld" property under Properties\Advanced\ or something. If it's true from the beginning, the object isn't there. If it has a script changing it, you should see it in the script browser (go to the attatched scripts and klick one of them and then "..." to open the script in the browser). Any CONDITION referring to a GlobalInteger called "currdifficulty*" (don't know the complete name) checks the difficulty level (0=easy... 3=expert). However, there is no difficulty level for the City sections in which most objects are placed or deleted by scripts.

There might be another way to delete readables which you can see by checking if the readable actor has any links to something (right click, show actor links). If you have found the type ("flavour") of the link, you can select it in the link menu (in the symbol bar, right click on the two red balls connected) and all of a sudden all links of that flavour appear on the screen which makes tracing more easy. I'm telling you this because I think there are some scripts working like "IF ... THEN delete any actors at the end of TriggerScriptLink" ...and you wouldn't notice that by looking into the scripts attatched to the actor itself.

The official (http://www.ttlg.com/dave/t3ed/t3edsetup.html) T3 setup file mentions AFAIK two ways of starting a conversation but I haven't dealt with that issue yet. Heck, I think there's not even a tutorial on doing conversations (left aside that half of the wiki is still down).

GlobalInts are basically defined slots for storing numbers (in this case from 0 to 3), similar in handling to Flags which store true/false information. GlobalInts for instance save the pro/contra Pagan/Hammerite actions of the player (increased by slaying undead or shooting cornerstones etc.). Flags for example declare whether the player "Has climbing gloves" or "HasDyanAmulet".

You've already had a look at the files in Sounds\schemas\conversatons\, haven't you? Don't know right now if these are the only ones used in the game since they have defined schemas.
