Simply recommend FMs based on ratings (including OMs ratings), using Netflix Algorithm or similar.

While It could be cool, I'm a little weary of the algorithm thing, I feel like there is enough tracking on the web as is. And wouldn't it make the site harder to maintain as well?

Noenko    Sept. 27, 2022, 9:10 p.m.

"Reminiscences" is the perfect example of a campaign that's not leaning into it's strengths. The architecture and atmosphere is great, feeling suitably "Thief" with good use of ambiance. The author even added some nice additions like basic dynamic shadows for NPC's.

The campaign consists of 7 episodes, three of which have a connected story, w...

This just feels like the author messed around In DromED for an hour and then decided to upload it. He should have kept it on his hard drive.

Don't play it, It's a waste of time.

topic about   Poor Lord Bafford (1999)   T1 FM
Noenko    Aug. 7, 2022, 3:51 p.m.

This mission is short, took me around 15 minutes to complete. It doesn't have particularly interesting architecture or mission objectives (in fact, it's just "find this thing") but considering how early in the FM timeline this was made I'm willing to overlook this. The reason is that I feel like "Poor Lord Bafford" is at least an attempt at maki...

Time has not been kind to fan-missions from 1999. Sure, there are some good ones such as: "Autumn in Lampfire Hills" and "Bloodstone Prison", but this is also the year that gave us some of the worst of all time, such as "Koobze". In comparison, "Escape: The Bear Pits" fare a lot better. This is not a good fan-mission, but it doesn't make me want...

topic about   Inheritance (1999)   T1 FM
Noenko    Aug. 6, 2022, 1:27 a.m.

Inheritance is an early FM, and as such I'm willing to be more lenient with my score.

The visuals are a mixed bag, some areas are really attractive, while others (outside of the main castle especially) look simple and unattractive.

The story is simple and there's not much to it, though it isn't bad either as it isn't intrusive or in the wa...

This is a pretty nice and chill FM, these are perfect for when I haven't played Thief in a while and want something to ease myself into it. Funny scrolls as well.

Try it out!

I'm always amazed when a FM manages to make a big mansion that is huge, detailed and interesting! Whenever I play large missions, my biggest fear is that they'll feel empty. There's none of that here. I for sure share your thoughts on the design, nice review!

Noenko    June 27, 2022, 3:40 a.m.

I'm tempted to agree with this being the best FM, the amount of polish in the design is unmatched in 99% of both fan and original missions. It's so replayable as well, it doesn't get boring to me.

Hi there, the two LGS Thief titles are like my comfort games, when I feel unmotivated or down I play a fan mission. I like to write reviews for missions I feel strongly about (either good or bad). I also backed up all the FM missions on "thiefmissions.com" onto Web Archive for safe keeping. And lastly I sometimes make videos showing how to beat a FM, but this I do rarely.

I love Thief Guild and It's easily the best way to find new FM's to play.

topic about   Just For Show (2002)   T2 FM
Noenko    March 18, 2022, 4:34 p.m.

I've been playing through a lot of older missions recently from 1999 to the the early 2000's.
What I've noticed about that era is that there's usually a lot of ambition, but many fail to make their missions actually fun to play.
So with that In mind I was pleasantly surprised to find a fun burglary mission that's well designed and competent.

This is a big mission, there's a lot to explore in the city, it managed to give me the feeling i got when I first played "Life of the Party".

The FM isn't without it's issues however. The boxy and simple architecture aren't much to get one inspired. The map is an issue as well, it does its job well enough, but a more detailed map would have s...

topic about   Lorgan's Web (2001)   T1 FM
Noenko    March 13, 2022, 9:26 p.m.

A decent city mission that could have used some more polish and attention to detail. Some areas look nice, while others suffer from boxy and boring architecture.

For it's time it's good but i end up not feeling much about it. Perhaps I've been spoiled by more recent and detailed city missions.

I'd still recommend trying it out, It's not wi...

"The Chalice Of Souls" is a two level campaign, consisting of a city mission and an underground brothel.
The city mission is excellent, a lot of jumping between rooftops and climbing into windows, as well as exploring the streets makes it varied in gameplay, combined with beautiful architecture makes it a fantastic stand-alone mission.

Noenko    March 8, 2022, 10:10 p.m.

Let's start with the positives, this missions is visually fairly nice, it's got a cool "countryside horror" vibe to it.

Keeping in with the theme, the mission has a custom ambiance track playing in certain areas. The issue with this is that it's way too loud, I had to go into the files and lower them using Audacity, to spare my ears from the ...

Never before have I played a campaign so great and terrible at the same time.

The first mission "Walking The Edge" is clever and varied, if a little aged in it's simplicity.

"Tears of Blood" however is excellent and the crown jewel of the campaign, Garrett has been beaten up and imprisoned deep underground, what follows is a desperate c...
