Everytime I get back to Thief, the first thing I think is how great the game is.
...And just how dark it is, even outside the game.
This is the only game franchise where I don't know people yet wish I did, for they made such amazing FMs (Lady Rowena) that deeply inspired me more so than any other game, sometimes even the campaign itself (Again, Lady Rowena's).
It always saddens me that the person who made the FM that inspired me to play more FMs died. I was very strict about never playing anything third-party, fan missions and mods, especially on older games.
I remain undecisive here; on one end, remembering them may be good. On another, why bring back pain to us? More importantly, why bother the death's rest? Let them lay in peace already, be reminded of the great things that they did, not the fact they're dead.
I want everything related to Thief to be related to Thief. Everybody dies. Thief is a great game, not a dark game where some good people sadly died for it.

It's not about bringing pain, it's about remembering people who were important to us. It's very easy to forget as you get on with your life. That's fine. Maybe you want to forget. I like to remember my old friends. I want to remember all the stupid arguments we had, how they were wrong, or I was wrong, and all the things that built our friendship. Some of these people built TTLG to what it is today.
But I see your point. If you had a friend who passed away, you might feel the pain and loss and not want to think about that. My thinking is the opposite. I want to remember. Not obsessively cling on to the people we lost, but acknowledge that they were here and made our lives better. And then let go. That is my point.

In that respect, they are never truly gone as they live on your memories of them.

Oh man. This thread hits hard. I remember all of these folks and having conversations with some of them, especially Dusty. Sad that they're gone. :(

I remember that video. I'm using it now again to try to relearn how to play my stepson's ukulele. I still suck at it, but it's a very good, clear, instructive video. I miss him. Given how many covers there are of that song, this is probably my favourite, just after Cohen's original. I can't take all the overblown ones, it's too much.

I'll do it if someone can compile a list of the fan missions those mentioned created. My hope is to do some work on the Circle page itself this year and this would be a nice thing to feature there in some way also.
