2 doors don't open despite having all keys available. To be honest, the mission is so ugly and uninspired, that I have little desire to research further.

never mind, i looked back at my vod of it and yeah, there's just two doors that don't do anything

When I got around to playing this, I had already gone through a period of brainmelting in the missions prior to this that was so bad I almost said, "This mission is scuffed, I'm skipping it." However, The Prodigal Corpse doesn't have anything to actually get that mad about in hindsight. I mean, the mission isn't good, but it's in that amateurish...

You ever wonder what a guard in the City feels like when Garrett suddenly appears out of the shadows and erases their childhood memories via CTE with one swing of the blackjack? Equilibrium makes it so you don't have to wonder anymore. Turns out the answer is that it's goddamn terrifying.

Garrett wanders into an abandoned Keeper compound in s...

Which doors didn't open? WDOA has kind of bounced off my brain but i don't remember anything like that

When playing fan missions for an extended period of time, I end up suffering from a disorder I like to call "brain melting." It's when you're forced to do something incredibly tedious an excessive amount of times (yes, I know this is part of the appeal of playing Thief in the first place) that it literally feels like you would do just about anyt...

This mission is designed to hate you. Outside endless unremarkable corridors, lengthy as hell unlockables, tiny hidden loot that you spend an hour searching, it's downgrade from...

After standing in my backyard crushing bricks in my bare hands for an hour or two, I'm finally ready to come back and talk about Stronghold, a mission which started off kind of promising and then made me feel insane the longer it went on.

In contrast to how I felt immediately after seeing the Mission Complete screen, I do think there's a lot ...

I got to watch a mechanist and a hammerite put aside their differences to turn a treebeast into mulch. Good mission.

Tower of Illusion is designed to waste your time.

Well, not really. Wrichards more than likely assumed "lockpicking = longer and more engaging mission" and called it square. They even made you go find both picks individually to hold you back a little more. Unfortunately, goodwill starts to fade when you end up having to pick every door and ch...

Sept. 22, 2024, 6:50 a.m.

I'm not gonna really harp on the quality of this mission since signs point to it being a newbie messing around in Dromed, but this is basically the exact same structure as Deceptive Sceptre, all the way down to the wrong objective ticking off when you complete it.

Garrett needs to find and kill Lord Burkhard, a noble who seems to own one sing...

I had incredibly low expectations going into Events in Highrock, even with people telling me it's actually good. I'm happy to say that they're mostly right.

The level design itself is leagues beyond The Mage's Area, with a lot of interconnected areas in the City that all (mostly) make sense, and its generally fun to explore. Its definitely a ...

This Sucks
topic about The Bath House (2000)

Aug. 1, 2024, 7:37 a.m.

I usually try to give older missions some sorta benefit of doubt, with the context that authors making literally anything in Dromed is cool as hell and that it was probably decent for the time when it came out. I really can't see that being the case here.

I don't like being harsh about FMs but it's kind of a bad sign that this placed 3rd in ...

I'm not gonna sit here and try to wax poetic about a fan mission made by a wrestling fan from the 90s, but I have to say that "There's an old 'friend' of yours waiting in the ring, layeth the smack down on his candy ass!" is an incredibly funny objective to read in a Thief game.

I feel like I got pranked.

Like, this mission is not very good. I can't tell if navigating the city was supposed to be more difficult or if was just meant to simply give off the impression of a labyrinth. The house (?) that you end up robbing is a big, bizarre, and ugly mess.

But... I think that's the point?

Outside of its weird layout,...

Didn't Age Very Well

I didn't really like this mission.

I think the idea is cool, having AI fight each other, hunting for gear, having some sort of high-tension escape. The problem lies in the lack of polish and overall general feeling of someone who knows what they WANT to do, but not being 100% sure how to achieve it.

Your main objective is to find a sword, ...
