Interesting -- I hadn't realized they'd been cut. Any idea if they were taken out for design or technical reasons? I could believe the latter: IIRC, the rope physics code was a son of a bitch, a morass of special cases. Chris might have decided not to wrestle with that again, in a new engine.
I'm going to have to get this, and then play my way through finally. While I've played lots of random levels of Thief and Thief 2, I've never actually played either game all the way through enough to really internalize the storyline. Time to fix that, I think...
