Briefing

"Lord Pless, a rich and influential noble is out of his little castle for few days.
He recently aquired an ancient artifact called Horn of Cobbletons, a very valuable instrument previously
owned by the last Cobbleton family which were supposedly killed by the pagans. It's said that Lord Pless has some
ties with the pagans, how charming. While he's away, he definetly left some guards to watch over for
unwelcome guests such as myself. I highly doubt they treat their duty seriously without their employer around.
His castle, or a palace rather is located just outside of the City, let's hope the trip will be worth the trouble."

This mission is impossible to discuss without spoilers – this one will restrict itself to *light* ones. The FM takes Garrett to a country estate for a routine burglary. Part of the fun here is in the place itself – it has its own identity that is quite different in look and feel from the places we have visited in Thief, and has an odd Finnish/Sc...

Let´s face it, if you play this mission just for the mansion, it might not be the right one. The mansion part is ok, but only the surface of the mission. The hidden section is cool and resembles Bonehoard, but it´s intertwined with the TMA parts with a venture of the Mechanists set into it. There are some riddles that are not too hard, the missi...

message   How do you solve a problem like rating Where The Unknown Lurks?

Where The Unknown Lurks is a strange animal. It's a tiny, two objective in-and-out nick stuff mission with a much larger optional Bonehoard style space hidden under a secret beneath it. It's entirely possible to never see two thirds of the mission because you can simply avoid finding out about or completing the secret puzzle. The mansion space i...

W głównej mierze powtórzę to co SPIDI już powiedział - misja bardzo przyjemna, ale do pewnego momentu bardzo prosta i może się szybko zakończyć. Zbyt szybko. To co najlepsze to co ukryte i naprawdę szkoda, że tak dobrze wykonana, nieliniowa lokacja jest tylko opcjonalna, bo właśnie ona stanowi główną siłę misji i podnosi jej ostateczną ocenę.

Ocena FMki nie była prosta, gdyż cały scenariusz trzeba podzielić na dwie części. Jedna to oficjalna, a druga to bardzo rozbudowana tajna lokacja będąca opcjonalnym celem. Może i nieco rzucającym się w oczy, ale równocześnie w pospiechu można ją ominąć i de facto nie zobaczyć "większej połowy" FMki. Jeśli ktoś by to przeszedł na minimum, to miał...
