Not sure if this has been posted before. (https://archive.org/details/Thief_The_Dark_Project_PrimaGuides/mode/2up) This is a pdf of the Prima guide for Thief 1

I remember buying that from a shop, and later buying the guide for T2. How times change.

Thanks. :thumb: I see that particular uploader (Sketch the Cow at archive.org) also uploaded (https://archive.org/details/Thief_II_Prima_Official_eGuide) Prima guide for Thief 2 that R Soul mentions and a few other Thief manuals/guides/CDs towards the bottom of this (https://archive.org/details/%40sketch_the_cow?query=thief&sort=-publicdate&page=2) page.

Even though online guides really are more convenient, not to mention free, I still miss strategy guides.

Thanks for posting. Off the top of my head, I don't recall seeing the easter egg quote list in Thief 2?... but probably did at some point; just didn't pay much attention, or it was too long ago.

From the T2 Prima Guide, Page V. Where can this be found exactly? See last 2nd to last sentence below...

Quote:

Q: As I looked over the game in progress the camaraderie and sense of humor of the game's designers was immediately obvious — my favorite example of this is the mock poster for a band Sheriff Truart has hired. The Taffers. Are there any behind-the-scenes antics you'd like to share?

A: Thief II has been a great project to work on not only because it is a great game that we are all proud of, but also because the team was in such high spirits making it. A lot of the best moments would be difficult to share with someone who wasn't present. One of the traditions at Looking Glass is for someone on the team to keep a "best quotes" list. This list contains the funniest or wackiest comments anyone working on the project has said and is usually quite funny. We have hidden the quotes list for Thief II in the last mission of the game, the "Factory" mission. I am sure that any player who finds it will enjoy reading it.

I had fun finding the quote scrolls in both games. To bad there isn't one in Thief 3.

I haven't tried this myself yet. :)

I found an excellent video by (https://youtu.be/QmkzRbD4Hzc?t=858) Klatremus. He mentions the Easter Egg right at the start in Bay A of the factory. I assume you use the sword 8 times on each dead robot.

Edit: OK. Did it. I would never have discovered it by myself.

Oh, nice! Thanks for letting me know. Too bad he didn't actually do it in the vid :P I'll have to try it myself sometime :D I also would've never discovered it myself
