I may dig out the great email I once received from our boy Francesco. I don't see why he thinks his stuff is so good. If I understand what he's done correctly, he's actually just imported architecture from other engines and built little to none of it from scratch within the editor himself.
"Ooh let me import a map someone else made into another engine."
1337 skillz, brah.

I got one from him too on the Dark Mod forums. He PM'ed me out of nowhere, bitching about how Bikerdude is shit at everything and Melan is an a-hole, or something along those lines.
Guys a moron.

This is the most entertaining thing I didn't read (let's face it, those posts are pure, indecipherable torture) all week.

FYI, the post on Iron Eagle's website containing the nasty references to my wife and depraved pictures of my kid has apparently been removed. I don't know if he did it of his own volition (unlikely), or if his web host got wind of it and did it for him, or some random quirk in the universe made it go poof. I'm just glad it's gone. And now let's get back to discussing FMs, hopefully for good.

So, while we're at shitty modders, let's talk about FMs that you didn't like! Would be a nice topic of discussion since you can't really talk about that over on TTLG.

For me, Off To Milhorn Manor has to be one of those missions that ended up being too tedious to be worth it. I stuck with it because in parts, it showed promise, but overall, it just had too many flaws. Puzzles with almost no hints at all (there's a locked chimney grate at the beginning which you cannot open with picks, much later you find a mining implement that can cut through rock... this is the key that opens that grate on the chimney way back at the beginning; there are also cave-like underground areas with rocks, which is what that implement it supposed to cut through, but you don't need it there. There isn't any hint about where it is really needed), the most confusing basement ever (labirynthine design coupled with walls that all look exactly alike), and some overy long straight distances to traverse (ugh, that sewer... I swear it takes at least a full minute to get through it, and it's just completely straight).

The ground and top floors of the manor aren't bad though, but there is just too much horrible design that I'm never going to replay this one. Ugh.

...I'm gonna sit this topic out, except to say one thing: I plan to replay Calendra's Legacy at one point and give it a rundown comparable to King's Story.

Ok, I'll bite, and I'll try to be as civil as possible.

RUINS OF ORIGINIA :argh:

I can't stand the damn thing. Maybe Unkillable Cat can help to explain why this mission gets fellated on TTLG so much. I never played any of the Ultima games, so maybe that's the problem. I just can't see the appeal of trudging through endless empty, dark hallways for hours. What the hell is that? It's like the designer deliberately set out to make 'Mines of Margroth' as ugly as possible.

But the weirdest thing is that I keep replaying it every once in a while because I WANT to like it. I TRY to like this mission pack as much as everyone else seems to and it fails every time. Do I need to go back and play through Ultima Underworld before I'll be able to like it or something? HELP!

I played both Ultima Underworld (somewhere in 2011) and don't remember these "endless empty corridors". Dark hallways? Sure.
"everyone else seems to [like it]" on TTLG? Not that shocking.

"Ruins of Originia" gets so much love because except for the very beginning of the first mission, a part of the second and potentially the fourth mission, they're not very Thief-like at all, but more of a throwback to the Ultima Underworld games; they push the game into a different direction, but not TOO different a direction. As a result they're not for everybody, which is quite understandable.

The first mission is by far the hardest, the town at the start is nice, but tough, but once you set off down the south passage you're greeted with a near endless set of (mostly) empty passages leading both nowhere and everywhere. Also, some of the enemies are borderline cheese. Shadow Burricks (the first burricks you encounter) are rigged so that they can see in the dark, so your light gem is useless against them. Later on there's a section with headless demons that take very special measures to kill, and even when you're on the right track, things are never easy.

The second mission is easier, but the start of it is a bitch and a half. You must traverse an obstacle course before reaching a Thieves's hideout, which is where the game becomes very Thief-like again. The third mission is ALL about caverns and burricks and quite forgettable, but for me the highpoint of the FM is the fourth mission, which has "Ultima Underworld 2" written all over it. It's a museum with dimensional portals leading to over 2 dozen different worlds: A Mechanist mine, an Aztec temple, a Beholder's lair, dimensions of various gods, etc...and plenty of interdimensional loot to score. It's simply an amazing FM from a design point of view. Shame that the start is cheesy with near-invisible treebeasts running around...

The author, YcatX (sp?) recently resurfaced after a lenghty hiatus and has recovered some of the original mission data for the other missions he had planned in the series, so there's a chance we might get to see more of Ruins of Originia. Personally I'd settle for a remastered version of the originals, as they could use a little spit and polish.

For serious taffers I'd say it's worth a playthrough for the fourth mission alone, but getting there is the problem, because Ruins of Originia also ranks as one of the hardest FM packs out there. Only GORT's "Rebellion of the Builder", "Equilibrium" and the undisputed champion of hard taffing, "Finals at the Academy", can really be considered harder.

Funny you should mention that. I absolutely love Equilibrium and ROTB (can't wait for GORT to finish the second one), so I don't think it was the difficulty of ROO that was turning me off but just the general feel of the first mission. Nevertheless, I think I will steel myself to try it once again except I'll work backwards from the last mission and do Margroth last. Maybe doing the best mission first is the best way for me to convert to the side of the Ruins of Originia lovers :hug:

I got stuck on the first mission and never got past it to play the others, but that was years ago and my skills are no doubt a bit better now, so maybe I should give it another try sometime. Being an oldster, I played both Underworlds when they came out on my 80386SX/16. #getoffmylawn

I would also definitely not include "Equilibrium" among the most difficult missions, although it is among the best. And JIS's missions like Elevator are probably missing from your list (another which I've never played).

I liked "Ruins" for its "what the fuck am I going to find next" factor. I've never really played many other PC games so any similarity between RoO and other titles would have been lost on me. For an early and highly ambitious mission pack it has its good moments and not so good moments. To save frustration and get through it in a reasonable amount of time I recommend just getting the walk-through handy and referencing it when needed. http://thiefmissions.com/walkthroughs/RuinsOfOriginia.html
