Briefing

When Cavador started spilling his guts, he didn't know when to shut up. At least, according to the Pagan who contacted me last night to thank me for the whole Soulforge debacle. It's been two months since I foiled Karras' plans. Two months since the truth got out. Two months since the public hysteria, the lynchings, the start of the official trials, the Hammerites returning in force to cry heresy and call for harsh justice. The Mechanists are finished.

But according to this Pagan, there's a secret Mechanist facility in the mountains just outside the City, a facility that only a few high-ranking Mechanists even knew existed. Even Cavador didn't know much about what went on there, only that the whole place was built to hide some discovery they found there after following directions from a long lost precursor tome buried deep in the KD site.

Apparently, by the time I got to Soulforge, the Mechanists in the City hadn't heard from their brethren at the site for some weeks. Now no-one seems to know if the facility is still up and running in isolation, ignorant of the winds of change from the outside world, or if some disaster has struck the place.

Precursor artifacts are always in demand from collectors, even if a certain Lord Gervasius is unlikely to be in the market now that he's been disgraced for his associations with the Order. If I can get my hands on whatever the Mechanists found up there before anyone else stumbles upon the place, I should stand to make a tidy profit...

message   Unholy marriage of Metal Age and Dark Project.

I was dense enough not to see it coming, because I would've tried to do this mission differently to save me some problems in it's second half. Really, really cool idea.

Mechanically it's a bit weird, because bots block routes for you, but not for everyone else. I don't know if it's a feature or an oversight.

Anyway, fun concept, fine execu...

message   Nice mission, but, (once again) I'm a bit undecided about the end

First of all, I'm stunned about this mission being a speedbuild. It really doesn't feel like it. Yes, compared to other missions from nicked, it's rather medium sized, but, the quality of mapping, gameplay, story and readables is really top notch, and, I really didn't come along any issues like getting stuck, or some major visual issues either.

message   An interesting mission
Wastelander    Nov. 13, 2024, 10:58 p.m.

nicked once again serves us a variation of known themes that feels fresher when he does so - an abandoned Mechanist facility this time around. It's not a big mission, and the twist is visible quite early, but it accomplishes what it's trying to do, with a nice mechanical tweak at the end to boot. It baffles me how it was all achieved in such a s...
