It is hard to be too kind when a bug prevents you from completing the mission. Although, you will know you have and can still play the full mission, you just don't see the success.avi play at the end or see the final 2 goals checked off.

A few other bugs/design flaws exist, like pickable doors that open to an empty wall. Level design is ...

There is some good here. At first, the mission feels pretty decent. But it quickly fades. Some technical problems I encountered:

As in most missions, each step of a stair case is hand crafted. In this mission there are multiple rather large seems as a result of not aligning each step properly.
Torches backwards and not snapped to grid....

It's difficult to not slant reviews based on timing. knowing what the world knew back then, this was a good mission. But playing it years later you can see areas that need improvement. It works both ways too, Knowing how many all tile, Bafford missions are lurking, this one is refreshing. I found the following technical issues in my recent ...

Far too many technical problems with this one:
Carpet sounds like tile due to placement in a main hallway.
Chair sunk in floor due to poor placement.
backwards torches with misaligned light sources
Terrain that doesn't align.
Audio doubled making it hard to hear other footsteps in one zone.
2 of the objectives don't work making it not comp...

The mission design was interesting and some of the objectives and layout showed both thought and skill. However, there were some unforgivable flaws in the design.

The biggest technical issue is that the plaques and readables don't work. Not sure if the lone book I found had a clue or not because it didn't work. I was also able to bash som...

At the moment of writing, this is the oldest fan mission I've played. Geller's Pride doesn't come with many bells and whistles, but I'd say it's still better than many Thief 1 missions. It just flows better, doesn't last too long, and is a little more intriguing than something like Ramirez's Manor. It has an interesting story hook, and is fun to...

Legacy of Knoss is another "city mission". Since these missions have been getting better and better throughout the years, I don't mind that whatsoever. City missions have gone a long way since "Assassins" from the first official Thief game. The city section of "Assassins" was quite boring, and even Thief II's city highlight "Life of the Party" f...

All bright, 100% light and tile floors.
Square rooms and little to fill them with.
No blackjack, so you are forced to kill on all difficulties.
Rooms are oversized with no perspective.
Finished in under 2 minutes.
It's a good mission to test your skill as a designer, but not something you would release in this state.

While the rooms are often bare, they were in the original game as well. This is a modest mission worthy of getting some simple thieving in. I had one technical issue where a doorway was not traversable. However, there was a 2nd door into the room so it was easy to workaround, but still annoying.

Not much of a story, but a solid, playab...

A couple of technical issues exist: There is a tricky ladder dismount and guards can see through a banner before you chop it down. (doesn't make much for a secret passageway if they can see through it).

I don't mind short and sweet, but this is a little lacking on the "sweet" side. Mostly simple design, with nothing new added in terms o...

Loved this mission. Almost everywhere on the map is accessible. (The view from the very top of the museum is breathtaking). Lots & lots of stuff to seek out.

There's a surprise twist taking you away from the regular map to somewhere quite unexpected. Almost like a mission within itself. There's a very innovative way of dispatching your ...

1 CATACOMBS OF KNOSS PART 1
Cozy city mission with lots of detail

This mission made me fall in love with the "city mission" format. The area you play around in is essentially a sort of plaza, and all surrounding buildings are accessible (if you know how and from where to enter). Every building feels like its own "mini-mission", more sizeable...
