Thief fan missions and campaigns

[fortuni]

Thank you JarlFrank & Darth S

I may not use every review you have written, I'll be selective depending on my needs.

As for 'impressions' that's exactly what most people want when looking for a mission to play. With no disrespect to any one who has ever written a review (and that includes me) a lot of reviews are very long winded, average in content, un-engaging and i suspect not always read to the end. Impressions that are short, sharp, sweet.....and with a bit of humour is what I prefer when picking a mission, film to watch or book to read.

So having a mixture of full on reviews, comments from forums and critical impressions should give a nice flavour this project.

Is Tannar a bot?

Now we asking the real questions.

 

[Yandros]

Is Tannar a bot?

If he is then that bot is damn good at proofreading texts, making maps and shit. I've collaborated on multiple missions with him.

The Siege Shop for TDM.

Yet another completely linear tdm mission (with annoying amount of lockpicking) and the story is not interesting enough to carry it.

Quit before completion.

 

[Tannar]

Is Tannar a bot?

Yes.

I just played Brainchild, a FM by Sperry. It was very different from the average mansion heist mission and for that, I adore it. Compared to most FMs, this one really stands out with it's unique setting and non thiefy, exploration-focused gameplay. I also love how Sperry managed to perfectly combine the Thief: Gold ambients (like the droning echoes and hums from the original games) with this creepy, techno-nightmare labyrinth of a level. Plus, the lack of any story or explanation just leaves the player guessing and wanting more. If you haven't played Brainchild yet, then stop reading this review and do it right now. Trust me, it's an experience you won't forget and there hasn't been anything like this since.

This fm was like a david lynch movie, totally concur, wish it was longer - left me wanting more. I do recommend you play it at night for maximum effect, it's a very dark fm.

A bit too dark, if I say so myself. I have to admit, I turned up the gamma a few times just to see what the hell was going on. Hiding the ladder that leads up to the key you need in the second room near the tunnel was just a dick move.

I actually liked it. Ended up playing through twice because of it. I still think I might have missed something.

Spoiler

On my first playthrough I didn't find the key and suicided into the cthulhu pit.

That blair witch guard in the end seriously creeped me out. It would have been even better if you couldn't reach the room.

To add, this fm reminds me of the great machine in mutant chronicles.

When does this cutscene play and in which version of the game?

New mission out, homies. Don't wait, Return to the Lost City TODAY!http://ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=147934

 

[Unkillable Cat]

Gave it a go, it's 85% exploring caves and Lost City areas, which includes platforming sections and some traps.

It's rather large and there's plenty to see and find. It uses good old Thief OM textures and objects and the readables aren't that bothersome, so if you like Lost City FMs this ranks as a solid 8 in my books.

 

[Icewater]

Pretty standard Lost City romp so far. It's big but also very spread out. Generally I prefer missions like Lady Rowena's (rip) The Tower that are more compact but make great use of that space but this one has been enjoyable. One thing though: damn those old textures are ugly. I deleted the "Mine" and "NewKeep" folders inside the "fam" folder of this mission and copypasta'd over the corresponding textures from the Thief 1 HD mod and it looks waaaaay better.

 

[Valky]

Roots, leaves, and branches.
The number of O's here.
What am I writing this...?
The number of legs on a hammer.

 

[Valky]

Forgive me, I had to look it up online. Rated the mission 3* because very obscure puzzles, otherwise the knockout limit was a welcome addition that really made me think a lot more about my plan and how to proceed.

 

[Max_b5]

Obscure puzzles? Have you tried 'Keeper of Infinity'?

 

[Valky]

No but I may in the future. I'm finished with the initial batch of 10+ FM's, now I'll download more on my list to play.

 

[JarlFrank]

You have so much in front of you. I envy you.

 

[Valky]

I still haven't even started Thief 2 or its FM's yet. I also played a bit of TDM but I'm putting it off until I finish the others.

 

[Max_b5]

Playing a good Thief FM is like making love to a beautiful woman. :gajo:

 

[Yandros]

That emoji isn't over here, Max... LOL

 

[SMDM-GORT]

Yeah, wrong place man. LOL
Oh. Hi guys.

 

[JarlFrank]

Hi GORT!

 

[cowking]

What are some A-list missions from the last years that are so good you can't unlike them (excluding skacky missions)?

FMs like chalice of souls, godbreaker, breathing corpses etc...
