The game will run at first in a small low end resolution only to stop your gameplay at the first lockpicking in the main prologue mission. So there is this fix you can look for and download and if you install it incorrectly or have certain options from the "update" then the controls section in the main menu is gone... Empty. So not only was this game apparently shipped broken, it was also never updated correctly for gameplay. I'll save you hours of frustration. Don't buy it. Thief 1 Gold and Thief 2 are still playable and still fun.
