What happened to the Holy Water Arrows?

[Catghost]

While advancing through the game I've come to the conclusion I'm missing two little things I realy liked in the previous Thiefs:

-1- To be able to use your waterarrows as Holy Waterarrows to shoot any undead. Smack me in the face and call me Judy if I know how to create a puddle of Holy Water. I can't seem to get one drop on the floor and am unable to hit anything but the wall with them. Maybe it's just my crappy computer, dunno, but anyway.

-2- The thingy where you can look around the corner with and pick up after you. I like playing first person, so I don't want to use the thirdperson-camera.

So far I'm totaly enjoying the game, even though I got stuck in the Museum twice (Ctrl-Alt-Del didn't work so I had to reboot and start the mission over again, because I forgot to q-save and the second time the same thing...:rolleyes: ) and the Cradle so freaked me out.

Like to see more opinions on above points.

They pretty much work just like the flash/gas bombs, just require a bit more aiming and the target has to be close to you. I had little problem dispatching the first couple of puppets with the Holywater. Just pressed against the, wait for the target to walk by, and pelt them in the back. :cool:

Thanx! Def. gonna practice now. And will not forget to save.
:p

Holy water can be thrown and leaves a puddle on the floor, just like the oil. And I also miss the arrows - if we ever get an editor, I imagine someone will bring them back.

They were originally planning to add that in but, due to technical problems, didn't.

I thought the holy water arrows where a mod in the FMs, weren't they? I haven't played T2 since I switched OSs (98 to W2K).

Nope, holy water arrows were in both T1 and T2. I remember running from the fountain to where the zombies were in Cragscleft. DEDx (an add-on pack for Dromed) has flash arrows (and several other new ones), but I don't think anyone has yet used them in a FM... although two of mine in development will.

Actually there was no holy water in The Metal Age, although Thief 2 fan missions had it by taking the coding from The Dark Project.

Right you are! Thanks for clarifying that.

Yep good old Cragscleft lol.

Holy water arrows Should be in this one as well =/
