I'm rather surprised I couldn't find any mention of this anywhere here.

The Dark Mod is single-player a total conversion mod for Doom 3 inspired by the Looking Glass Studios stealth games Thief: The Dark Project and Thief 2: The Metal Age. It's designed to mimic the gameplay of those games and even improves upon it in some ways.

If you liked the first two Thief games you owe it to yourself to play this, as The Dark Mod probably the closest thing to a modern equivalent of the earlier Thief series there is.

No, this not some multiplayer mod inspired by the setting of Thief. No, this is not a mod simply to add stealth gameplay to Doom 3.
This is a fan-made successor to Thief designed to be as close to the gameplay original Thief as possible and improve upon it where possible.

Some missions I recommend:
-Knighton Manor
-Tears of St. Lucia
-Return to the City
-Glenham Tower
-A Score to Settle (difficult)
-The Heart of Lone Salvation (difficult)

Some missions recommended for beginners are The Crown of Penitence, The Outpost, The Parcel, and Too Late. I suggest playing at least one of those missions first even if you've played the original Thief games, as The Dark Mod is often considerably more difficult than Thief.

Wish I had Doom 3 for this, I seen it a long time ago..

Oh my! That's getting added to the backlog. I better rustle up a copy of Doom 3 too. I can't save enough money fast enough for a new PC.

Been keeping an eye on this for ages, but I don't have Doom 3.

I do have Doom 3, but no computer that will run it.

why not pick doom3 up on the next steam sale then?

Maybe they'll do something come easter/spring break?

I remember when I first stumbled on this quite a while ago I bought copy of Doom 3 on Steam right then and there specifically to play The Dark Mod.
I don't regret it at all. This mod is worth more than a lot of games I paid $20 for.

That's just my opinion though. Your mileage may vary.

I'm actually trying to learn how to use DarkRadient (The Dark Mod's customized map editor) so maybe I might be able to get a decent mission out eventually (eventually... maybe...).

I thought they were working on a non-Doom 3 version, now that id Tech 4 has been released as open source?

Big fan of the Dark Mod - if you liked the first three games in any way you should play it.

I'm getting 1 and 2 from GOG. I guess Doom 3 should be easy to find. I liked all the series, 3 for 'The Cradle' and 2 for the machines using Karras' voice.

dark mod seems a lot more similar to thief 2 than 3 which in my mind is a good thing.
