The Dark Mod, a Thief inspired total conversion mod.

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 as well as feature a number improvements to the design.
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.

Some missions I recommend:
-Knighton Manor
-Tears of St. Lucia
-Return to the City
-Glenham Tower
-William Steele: In The North (difficult)
-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.

A video of the mission "Too Late" by someone else without narration, in case you find my voice too annoying. :P  :

Something not mentioned, which I'm curious how it affects this mod. I've heard (not confirmed myself) that doom 3 isn't available in online stores anymore and its been swapped out for doom 3 bfg edition. Is the mod compatible with this new version, or will it require basically pirating doom 3 if you want to play it?

Disclaimer that I'm not likely to get either doom game or test out this mod, I'm just curious as it's kind of sad the "update" to doom screwed over modders.

The Dark Mod is not compatible with the BFG edition, and the BFG edition isn't compatible with any mods for the original Doom 3 for that matter.

If you don't have Doom 3 you'll have to get a boxed copy or wait for The Dark Mod to become standalone.

Sounds to be a good game to play in a weekend.  I will looking for it because winter is almost here, so I need something to cheer me up :)
