I realized that people who haven't done LL are using words like "Wimp, pussy, sissy, emotionally unstable, have some balls, etc" very, very often. And this frustrates me. Maybe my attitude was similar before LL too. To an extent, it could have been.
However - LL is 1% courage, 99% patience.
You can be a wimp or not. But you'll need the patience of a saint. Some days you feel you have it, some days you don't.
I've said it before but I will repeat. People who worry about physical pain are preparing themselves for the wrong encounter. Before LL, one should be prepared for mental torture instead.
If you have a stable life, like a wife, a girlfriend who will wait for you 100%, or no girlfriend ar all, as in no one you'll worry about, supportive family and friends, no job or school to worry about, then you're halfway prepared for this mental battle. Otherwise, you might have problems.
Leechlet, I've watched videos of Thief's gameplay. I like it overall, although it's not really my style, I tend to enjoy horror games like Amnesia more. No wonder I loved the asylum level in chapter 5.
