      Nah, Dark Project knew exactly what it was trying to do. It's a game about being a D&D rogue without a party. Sometimes you're navigating houses to steal some rich asshole's stuff, other times you're exploring ancient dungeons, avoiding traps and monsters. And at its core, it's a game about being a Thief. As much as people complain about there being undead and animals in a lot of missions, the core of most of TDP's levels is, "go find the things you're looking for and steal them." Thief 2 got a lot more complex, and not always in a good way.
