Unfortunately I don't remember which ones but they were seriously 100% beast. I think my favorite was one where you played as a female thief, first mission was pretty standard but it picks up from there and shows off some serious modding skill. | ||

I played DeusEx: HR without killing anybody - that was pretty fun. So if you like stealth and want a newer game, check out Deus Ex: HR. | ||

I highly recommend this Mod: http://www.moddb.com/mods/call-of-pripyat-complete Use it right away. At least for the SoC its the way to go. Im not sure about CoP though. Edit: Someone else also suggested this one: http://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-misery | ||

The more popular mods are AMK/ZoA for SoC. AMK makes the game much more difficult (not in fake difficulty though, real difficulty that challenges you) and adds a lot of content, such as blowouts and a bunch of other stuff. ZoA implements AMK and a bunch of other smaller mods like graphical enhancers and minimods of the like, and then some even harder difficulty factors. The only CoP mod worth its weight is MISERY, which is amazing. However you should still play CoP vanilla first so you can understand why it's so fucking great. Also NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER USE ANY COMPLETE MOD EVER It + Show Spoiler + -All weapons have their accuracy increased 10-20% - All damage decreased by few percents. - Weight limit increased by 10kg, maximum being 70kg. In vanilla the Exo-suit enabled up to 80kg! - Limits NPC's eye sight distance so they can't spot you from beyond ~100 meters. =You see them always first. Said to remove enemies skill to spot you from"unrealistic distances". - Sound radius of knife and other critical sounds such as falling dead bodies, grass, and footsteps greatly reduced - Reduced the sound distance of death cries - Repair Kit - A special item to the game that allows you to repair weapons and armors out in the Zone. Can be purchased or found. (Not necessarily a bad thing, but I digress) - The bar trader and Screw now sell weapons and armor repair services. - Elite Nightvision - Black & white night vision based on the psy_antenna postprocess effect. Replaces the original UV-based blue NV, and lets you see perfectly in the darkness, be there light sources or not. - The old, “green” night vision has much less noise and blur. NVs don't emit any audio noise anymore. (can't be heard by NPCs/mutants) - scientific suits with 90% rad protection now feature an anti-rad injection system. - bandages auto-apply at 10% health. - enabled a tracer effect for armor-piercing bullets, making them visually distinguishable when use - allows looting cash from bodies (CS & CoP only) - You can BRIBE hostile factions to leave you alone. - And much more They advertise Complete as "vanilla experience", as "only bugfixing visual overhaul". In reality they change the gameplay shittons, usually only making the experience EASIER than vanilla game. Their bug-fixing reputation is also overrated, Complete09 only uses older beta-version of ZRP as its base, and CS & CoP versions tend to add MORE bugs and annoyances. Also LURK is cool I guess for SoC. If you can't enjoy the games vanilla though you won't enjoy them modded, as the game only gets harder from then on. Also play on Master, it makes the game far more enjoyable when you and the enemies dont take 40 bullets to kill. EDIT: There are much much more mods out there, but those are the more famous ones that you should bother with at first. Vanilla for both games should last you for quite a long time though  | ||

Steam wants the sale, so they should show as much info as possible. Yes a user can google it, but that's not the point as you shouldn't make your customer do the work for you. | ||

I played a shitton of Thief 1 fan missions - wanted to switch over to Thief 2 ones, but somehow different games came up and I never did it. But some of that stuff was pure awesomeness, especially since you could "ghost" most fan missions (since they were designed to be ghosted). Nothing beats sneaking into the manor of a fat noble, stealing his precious jewels and getting out without even alterting a single guard. If you dont care about graphics: get them. But the graphics are BAD!  | ||
