Wow! I wasn't expecting the differences in everyone's list! Mission variety is Thief Gold's greatest strength and weakness so I guess that isn't entirely surprising :)
15. Strange Bedfellows - like escape, only worse
14. Escape! - too many guards, too confusing a layout
13. Into the Maw of Chaos - good linear haunted house crawler, not much replay value
12. Undercover - not much of a mission, but not unenjoyable
11. Break from Cragscleft Prison - bland, annoying
10. Thieves Guild - Easy to get lost in the tunnels, just realized dropping bread crumbs would help with that though.
09. Return to the Cathedral - quest hub Easter egg hunt was trying. Spooky though.
08. Down in the Bonehoard - not a big fan of the caves
07. Lost City - Cool setting :)
06. The Mage Towers - I like the size and the temples were cool
05. Assassins - great atmosphere
04. Song of the Caverns - great mission, 'nuff said
03. The Sword - Classic video game mission. A bit long / a bit too many guards for my taste (blasphemy!)
02. The Haunted Cathedral - best exploration / best atmosphere
01. Lord Bafford's Manor - solid classic, infinitely replayable
EDIT: @JarlFrank: Agreed about Stinkykitty's Gems of Provenance fan missions. The first level nails the Thief Gold atmosphere and ranks as the best Thief Gold fan mission I've ever played!
I would encourage any Thief Gold fan to play it!

Hello everyone!
I'm a big fan also of the series, I remember when I first played it at my friends computer 18 years ago, (now i'm 33), and lately I started playing it again. I realize how harder it was before to complete a level, compared to today's games.
I just reached level 6, the Cathedral, and stopped playing because of all the ghost and monsters, they are very hard to kill.
The previous levels were very cool and hard to complete, but this one level is totally out of this world.
I think I'll skip this mission with the "user.cfg" trick :)))))
Cheerz to all of you!

Hi,
it is always nice to see someone finding into the world of Thief. :thumb:
Please don't skip this mission, it contains a big part of the plot in Thief!
And also, don't be jugded about your playstyle. Thief offers room for a variety from total stealth gameplay to aggressive playstyles. Sometimes I tend to play aggressive, too. :sly:
But trust me: the ghosts and monsters are still nice guys compared to what will come! Have yo found the Baron's manor in the sixt mission? It is very well hidden near
the electric drawbrigde in a wall. Climb up the wall and move to the locked door. Behind this building you will find the Baron's manor. It contains a huge treasure but is well guarded by a haunt. The haunt will give you a prelude what monsters you have to face in the following missions. But I am sure you can sneak past him! Thief 2 is even harder (and in Fan Missions, there is no limit about deadly monsters - good luck!) :ebil:

Once you have become familiar with them and their layout, you can whip through most missions in a small amount of time My personal records for Sword is under 7 minutes and Thieves' Guild is under 18 minutes, both on Expert. So any bad first experience or frustrations I might have had on Thieves' Guild say are forgotten now because I just know where everything is.
Unlike others I loved Cragscleft, Undercover and Bedfellow. RttC is a great mission to Ironman. Maw of Chaos is never play "properly", just run almost non-stop as if it was a speedrun.
The Sword I found a little disturbing when I first played it. I got stuck trying to find an entry to the topmost floor, had already taken out most, or even all of the guards, and so spent ages entirely on my own, wandering around a very surreal and twisted place. It was a relief when I found the crack. It was just the atmosphere of the place.
Can't actually remember my first impressions of Escape! but I have a feeling it would not have been one of my favourites.
On another note, did you know you can gas frogbeasts, and they will even "fall over" complete with an odd falling over sound that doesn't quite fit? Quite useful in Maw.
One thing I do not think I have ever settled on. You know the part in Bafford you drop down through to land in the water, near the start? Is that a well or an outhouse?

You guys are nuts.
Thieve's Guild is a great level.
And how can you not like Return to The Haunted Cathedral?
You newbies have terrible taste.

Get out and don't come back.

i did not like casing the joint,as i had to redo it on next mission,would have been better to just play finished map one time,making it harder as we would have never been there before to case the joint

As a newcomer to Thief I am very interested in the various missions you are all talking about and have downloaded some to give them a go. Most of you rate The Sword very highly but I can't seem to find a download anywhere for it.
Can some kind person point me in the right direction please.

It´s a mission included in the original game (Thief: The Dark Project/Gold), sonny.
