I adore big mansions or buildings realistically depicted. It is the pinnacle of the inmmersive sim that Thief helped popularize. The second mission is one of those incredibly detaliled spaces, this time a hotel; the kind of building that permeates other very well regarded FMs. This is one of them and, imo, it's the best FM for Thief Gold.

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!
