I was too lazy to change the native resolution and this slave of mine had to suffer.

Do you like the game? I was literally looking at it this weekend since I haven't played a stealth game for a bit and I like them.

I'm not a fan of stealth games myself so I've never gotten into them much. I got the game free with a GPU I bought years ago and use the benchmark tool to test different hardware.

From what I remember that game was far from being the best Thief game in history, but it wasn't completely bad. And with general scarcity of stealth games nowadays I do recommend to try it - and see for yourself. :).
