Played it on my X360 - I really liked it, so I'm with you on this one!

Hmm, guess I'm not following what you meant ps47. That the interactive hint glow was bothering you or that it was only certain things that you could interact with? I disabled that, Focus, the map thing telling you were to go in the center of the screen. For me, it made it a whole lot better, was a little harder to run but it's what it's about.

The limited amount of cash makes it rough on the hardest settings because everything cost more. The first thing I did was save up for the trinket that gives you a 25% on everything and then doing all the side jobs that you could before lvl 7 so you can buy the upgraded bow damage. Picking every pocket and doing a map over again completing all of thief goals are the only way to make sure you get everything you need.
