info NOTES:     Mine Saga is a compilation of all my previously released missions, updated with better graphics, visuals, enhancements to gameplay and many additions, changes, and improvements that I couldn't possibly list. Mine Saga also includes a brand new unreleased mission, briefings for each mission and an ending credits movie. Darkstone Mine was originally created in just a weekend, and was intended to take an element of gameplay, flares, and use them to their utmost potential. As a consequence, the entire mission has zero ambient light and is contained in the space of a 64 foot cube. Mine Affairs was released just a week after Darkstone Mine was released. It was originally intended to be in a 64 foot cube, but was rearranged to better utilize space and fits in a 64x128x32 foot brush, with the same volume.

With Bonds of Mine, I tried to create a large organic feeling outside environment using textures I personally made. Construction took several months. It's the only mission in the campaign that wasn't intended to fit in a 64 foot cube.

Mine Saga's End is also a genuinely small mission that was originally intended to be inside a 64 foot cube, but was just slightly expanded for an very special effect and added visuals.

I certainly hope you enjoy the missions, but most of all I hope I get you thinking about some of the ideas and themes that are presented through the story. It was those ideas that fueled the creation of all my missions.

Thanks for playing!

Briefing

Mine Saga begins at Darkstone Mine, a completely dark mission in which you have to use flares to navigate and light torches while trying to complete your objectives. The next mission, Mine Affairs, brings you to a small manor in the city that hides a mournful secret. Bonds of Mine takes you to the northern mountains through a garrison, a Hammerite Monastery with a dark past and an ancient mage's tower.

The last mission, Mine Saga's End, is set back in the city.

For additional improved graphics, I recommend downloading and installing the Thief Enhancement Pack by Nameless Voice, unless you prefer a more classic look.

Mine Saga, by the author's own admission, is a compilation of their previously released missions in one convenient download, but the title suggests it's going to form a cohesive whole. Spoilers - it doesn't. The first mission, Darkstone Mine, is a small, experimental map that makes heavy use of Thief 2's most under-utilised inventory item, flare...

I've played Mine Saga long time ago. Overall quality is a bit uneven between four missions of pack. First two are typical warming up exercises for 7-15 min each. First one is mine and second is small manor. Nothing exceptional I can say about them aside from pitch-black darkness in first mission.

The real meat of campaign is the third missio...
