Pretty much the way I could sum up all of nicked's mission. 😉 They're all very good in terms of mission design, atmosphere, visuals, audio (often neglected point), and variety. ...

Lots of different enemies, many enemies you have never encountered before, some enemies respawning endlessly from nests unless you destroy them (which makes a lot of noise, considering it only works with fire arrows), spiders spawning from eggs you destroy, enemies spawning after you have finished an area, stone statues chasing after you, which you can't kill...

Sounds easy? Not at all. 😉

Most fan missions are harder than the original Thief missions, and, these missions are among the ha...

Pretty much the way I could sum up all of nicked's mission. 😉 They're all very good in terms of mission design, atmosphere, visuals, audio (often neglected point), and variety. At some point, they're all frustratingly hard though, which is mostly the reason I can't give them the 9 or 10 out of 10 rating they would actually deserve.

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.

This is the first Thief FM I have played, and I am quite enjoying it. I completed it first on Hard, and now currently attempting it on Expert with no knockouts and trying to get...

I understood. I just said that I (emphasis on "I") rated the categories according to my impressions in the review I wrote.

Starts off great, well balanced, good difficulty, good enemy frequency... and then in the second part of the second mission, it kind of inherits the issues that Legacy of Knoss also has (yes, I know, Legacy of Knoss came after this): WAY too many enemies (especially the Ziggurat of the Elders and the Halls of Eternal Tranqulity were completely n...

True, that's why I rated the mission accordingly to my impressions. Unfortunately, because, until the end, I found the mission excellent.

I totally agree with this. The end is simply too hard/tedious, and a big difference to the general difficulty of the mission.

message   Great mission, ruined by a stupid end game

Really, perfect example of how to ruin a mission with a completely convoluted, complicated, and unncessarily difficult in terms of enemies end. Until then, I had great fun in the mission, but, the end really ruins everything for me. Disappointing.
