Briefing

Rumor has it the famous architect lord, Greaves, recently came to town and finished construction on his own manor. Greaves was responsible for drafting the plans on a lot of large manors in the City, including those of Bafford and Constantine. With all the money from his architect work, he was apparently able to construct a big, garish house of his own.

Greaves is sure to have a lot of valuable trinkets lying around, but specifically, he's recently purchased Bafford's scepter and Constantine's sword on the black market - no doubt these relics hold sentimental value to him, having drafted the initial blueprints for those locations.

Greaves is a smart man, and he's sure to understand that possessing the pieces he does makes him a valuable target for someone like me. Security will be tight, I'll need to be careful. It's time to begin.

message   Slightly rough around the edges but absolutely worth playing

The area around the mansion is a bit barebones and the mansion itself is pretty good but features way too much marble floor which makes it frustrating to navigate. There's little to no story with no readables, but this mission doesn't need those. What you're here for is the atmosphere, and it's great.

The mansion is well decorated and you kno...

I hate to be negative, especially when there's so much good on display in this grand architecture, but I had a really bad time with this map.

Right from the very start the player is positioned way too close to a deadly drop, I took a couple steps and fell to my death within seconds of loading the map. Then the front doors of the mansion are p...

message   An interesting debut
Wastelander    Nov. 29, 2022, 3:14 a.m.

House of the Architect is TheDataElemental's debut, a contest mission, and as a debut it is very impressive. The premise is extremely simple - rob the place, and though it isn't that much of a problem, the mission barely contains any readables - and that is a very low point in my opinion. While I can see the massive amount of work that went into...

message   Nice mash-up

The story in House of the Architect is minimal: all you need is to simply rob another manor. There's only one difference from the same jobs - the manor belongs to architector of Bafford's and Constantine's mansions.

Therefore, the mission was clearly meant as mix of Thief 1's opening level and The Sword. But it feels like either overgrown S...
