OHMYGODJCABOMB: Nostrovia! An awesome little word, which brings back some good memories....my mother would say it a bunch around the holidays(her family was of Polish heritage), among other traditions. :)

LynXsh: thank you,
GamesRater, for providing the way to become Romero's bitch.
Not a problem :)
(Also make sure to get the patch/mod for the game too...well unless you want the bugs to make you their b1tch as well ;))

LaLaLee: Thanks
finkleroy and
GamesRater for Thief Gold!
Hope ya enjoy it.
That said, i'd recommend a program called TFIX(not T2FIX, which is for Thief 2)....it fixes some things and cleans up the resolution on the graphics a bit, as well as a few other things.
(The program is modular, meaning you can more or less pick which fixes and such to use and which not to)

Cavalary: Just expect them to be quite different. And just look at Divine Divinity really, which really is (isometric) ARPG done right. Beyond Divinity is something even the developers are trying to forget (though I saw a few posts around here over the years saying it's not that bad).
Beyond Divinity is pretty decent, all things considered. The main speaking protagonist(the other is more mute than Gordon Freeman) and other dialog can be a bit corny....but often in the good way(if that makes sense)....and it has some nice music and settings/backdrops for some areas.
The big issues I (that I remember atm) are things like cluttered inventory(it lumps things in piles sorted by category, which you can move around and sort as you get things), and that slow walking when you have too much stuff(this is why I always increase inventory carry limits in such games).
