A little poll, on which you can vote for one of the improvised weapons, that you think was the coolest (or most interesting) in Overture... :-)

Rocks and pickaxe.
Felt very naughty when threw rockz at wolves and finished them off with pickaxe.

I usually killed everything using propane tanks, but in general, stealth is more fun. ^^

I stealth, I still haven't dropped Thief i guess.

Well, I personally played with a combination of stealth and "quick-kill" fighting techniques... :-) BTW, I finally finished Thief : Deadly Shadows on Saturday. Great experience. And yeah, the Shalebridge Cradle was the most scariest, though it had only a few real enemies - the atmosphere alone was enough to do the trick 98 % of the time. But it soon got a little boring and I stopped being scared, because I was frustrated with what was I supposed to do, to finish the level. :-D Anyway, Thief was a lovely gaming experience. Too bad I never played the two older ones in the series...

Thief are great games! I wonder, perhaps they'll make a fourth game, with that girl as the main chara, and Garrett as her mentor..? Would've been interesting. ^^

With dogs, the hammer rocks. Swift and deadly, especially if you hit em from behind, lol. With spiders? Try throwing a stick of dynamite into the middle of a spider egg nest. Very satisfactory.

That would be interesting, though there are rumors based on a fourth game. I don't know if it's true though. ^^

I tried combat in penumbra yesterday. Well, the only effective weapon in my opinion is to throw a heavy object against the enemy. And when it is about to wake up and run away, throw it again.
Repeating this until it dies. Bah, it's funnier and scarier to sneak.

It would. :-) But I think I heard, that part four will be more of a re-telling of the previous trilogy (or something like that)...

Yep. But you have to do it twice.
