info NOTES:     - You will want fog on for the beginning of the second mission.
- It is highly recommended to disable all mods and texture packs, but no issues with EP2 are known.
- Requires New Dark version 1.27 or higher.
- Plot-relevant conversations are subtitled.
- Some loot is available in both the first and the third missions. So, if you steal something in the first mission, it won't be there in the third mission. Consequently, the loot totals for mission three will change, depending on what you took in the first mission. Got it?
- There is absolutely nothing to see west of the river in mission 3. If you manage to get over there you will be bored, nothing to do. You have been warned.

Briefing

A job offer from a prospective client brings you to High Towne tonight. A lucrative area, in addition to the generous payout this job represents. You are to meet at the Mercantile Assurance, #212, behind the Church of the Most Righteous Hammer.

Getting to the Eastern wards of High Towne won't be easy. The only legitimate paths across the river are either the High Bridge, or the Grand Canal around High Market, and all are locked down at night. But an enterprising fellow might find another way.

You have a tip that the Downwinders have a route across the river for members of the guild. Non-members will probably just be gutted. You can find them at High Market #5.

This is not your first rodeo, and you know the drill. Don't kill anyone, and don't get caught.

message   Great game play & story
PaulHumph    Oct. 27, 2024, 2:24 p.m.

A bit of a slow start to what became an excellent fan mission. I struggled (as I often do) with the parts that require accurate jumping but that's down to me, not the game.

A great story, too.

The high in the sky parts are great (if you don't suffer from vertigo).

This set started a bit slowly for me, but it was getting better and better every minute.

The first mission especially required a bit of getting used to. There are some challenges you don't often encounter in an FM, while the city is difficult to navigate at first. That being said, you can already experience some new, original solutions in th...

message   A bit confusing
Wuketuke    Aug. 14, 2023, 9:20 a.m.

This campaign has great potential, but there are few issues that need to be ironed out
Some of the critical paths were a bit obscure. Idk how im supposed to get to the market place in the first mission, but i stacked boxes i found at that tavern where u get the "weird playing card". Felt like i was cheesing the game. It think that there should...

message   the first fm I decided to get back into thief this year.
69Taffer69    July 17, 2023, 10:38 p.m.

This is the first fm in this year I decided to play and return to the enchanting world of the thief series. on screenshots everything is interesting and exciting but in reality...ahem. maybe i just haven't played fan missions in a long time, but the first thing I have to mention is the terrible navigation in the 1st and 3rd missions. I literally...

Trochę jestem zaskoczony wobec samego siebie, że dałem tego tak niską ocenę, ale niestety...
Na początku do zagrania zachęciła mnie miniaturka z balonem (o! Coś nowego!) oraz ogólnie wysokie oceny na Thief Guild. Widzimy intro z jakąś cyrkową menażerią. Proste, wręcz nieco prostackie, ale jednak wciąż intrygujące swoją odmiennością. Czegoś tak...

message   A lot of fun for veterans
Kubrick    April 24, 2023, 5:49 a.m.

Straight to the point: the campaign is not only very well constructed, but also the story is actually interesting and tied to the main game in a fun way. But more importantly, when I think about it I'll remember how many nods towards old FM players it does. To say it's "aware" or a "meta" FM is overboard. It's done straight. But it's also full o...

message   A Romp With A Novel Twist
Aldarith    April 21, 2023, 3:59 a.m.

Going to keep it simple on this one.

Really enjoyed the act structure and the rather excellent plot device.

A certain Lord gets a lot of traffic in FM's and I loved the way the author drew on the character in a novel way this time.

The first level was enjoyable and asked the player to use their noggin to solve more than one issue.
I am...
