I saw the newly uploaded screenshots of The Wall on Thief Guild and my first thought was - due to the overblown colors and the messy architecture: "The looks like an IronEagle aka HawkflyAway mission." I played all of the author's T3 missions. He has a distinctive style he stuck to, ignoring feedback from the community, and even launching nasty attacks against people who gave constructive feedback. His missions are all terrible, including for the reasons you outlined in your review.

I seem to have enjoyed the key hunt more than you. I liked that there were always clear hints where to go next. I never got stuck.

Despite this, I would still rate the gameplay slightly lower than the 9/10 you assigned yourself. Searching the village got tedious after 5 hours. The janky battle arena at the end also detracted somewhat from the overall experience.

You had a similar impression as me, Mike. I would add that the janky battle arena at the end detracted from the experience. 7.5 is my rating as well. It is better than other T3 mission I rated 7, but not as good as some I rated 8.

Adding individual pages for Savar's missions is consistent with how significant updates for missions by other authors are handled on Thief Guild, so I would welcome the decision.

I went through my changelogs on TTLG and marked the missions which I think are a significant update:

Yes, almost all of Savar's updates go beyond simple fixes and they were in some cases published years apart. In my private worksheet, I usually give different scores to each version of a mission, due to map or gameplay differences. All arguments for separate entries on Thief Guild.

The main point, therefore, is consistency: There should be either at least two entries for each mission, one for each version, or each mission should have only one entry, regardless of version differences.

I prepared notes while I played through all the different versions of Savar's T3 missions that were still available. I can upload version changelogs if that approach is what we decide on.

The only thing that would have to be done first is to merge the two entries of Savar's T3 mission The Hotel into one.

This mission consists of two segments that are separated by a gate: the first one contains three buildings with some loot and a lot of guards, the second is a large, open area with a deep hole at the end.

Somewhere in the underground exists the tomb of a magician where some more loot can be found. While this isn’t not a hugely imaginative ide...

The Deceptive Sceptre is a small sized level that has you reclaiming Lord Bafford’s sceptre from a small hamlet. In order to get it, you have to take out the hired hand who is guarding it. All difficulty settings have the same two mission objectives.

You start in a room with very high walls. There is a servant who is apparently admiring a pai...

If you’re new to DromEd, you should stick to doing simple things and save advanced topics like custom textures, scripting or weapon replacements for when/if you get good. Tithian’s first-time effort does just that. It focuses on getting simple things right, hence the rather basic setup that has Garrett looting a small mansion. There isn’t much t...
