Last week, somebody asked me why he (and other walkthroughs) always end up the Thief 2 Kidnap mission in 1311 loot, while my guide says it should be 1461.

 

Of course, people without my patch (refer to the "patches" section of my Thief 2 Game Guide) won't be able to get complete loot in T2:kidnap. That already explained a discrepancy of 50 gems. Since I am incapable of making mistakes, they must have missed another piece of loot as well. So I asked him what he has got and went through the list carefully. And I didn't find anything missing...

 

Then I found out I was wrong, fixed the guide, and thanked him for letting me know.

 

But how come I can quote a full loot value 100 above the actual maximum in T2:kidnap? If you know the mission and the Dark Engine, you should be able to deduce how I could have made the impossible mistake. So I'll let you think about it and explain in a later blog.
