I still really want to know what objective caused the failure, how it's triggered. But it is a really interesting slice of history we got our hands on.
_______________
To correct a few mistakes I made: Bulgarian_Taffer was the creator of a separate mission in 2009, Nicked was the project lead (incidentally he made a recent mission called Sturmdrang Peak that is pretty awesome). It's spelled Jorge (I dropped an E). The notes are from Emil Pagliarulo who currently works for Bethesda as a Senior Designer and Writer of games such as Skyrim and Fallout 3 (which he won an award for). He was a level designer for LGS on Thief 2.
This project would have involved some key members in the community and while they may be working on it, once Nicked dropped out no one seemed to want to take charge and it stopped all progress. This is very similar to COSAS (Circle of Shadow and Stone, last release 2008, last news 2010), big ambitions, but conflicting and changing schedules have made the project dormant. I meant to say the T2X (2007) was a successful example of a huge overhaul type project and that COSAS was the dormant one (derp).
And I suppose as a last mention, T2G would have had the infamous bow upgrade, totally.
