Thief Guild

Greenbay is a cozy little area, reminiscent of Thief 1's urban sections (think "Assassins"). It doesn't do much special, but is well-paced, contains a healthy amount of loot, and leads you through its streets with an interesting mystery. It references other characters, missions, and places throughout its runtime, which will delight fans of Thief...

1 BREAKING THE STONE
Beautiful and relaxing mystery

Aside from its aesthetics, which are gorgeous and unique, what instantly stood out to me about this mission is how easy it is to oversee. Most landmarks are visible from afar, making it easy to get to where you want to be. There are some enemies, but not many and it's easy to get away from ...

This mission started off on a super strong note, making me wonder why this got so much criticism.

Then it kept going and going. I noticed the progression gates started crumbling apart and notes began leading you in increasingly less logical ways. After lots of back and forth between the same buildings in a town that slowly lost its charm, I f...

Yeah, I was thinking of moments where a lack of objectives could be good. I can understand there's probably missions where that wouldn't be the case, but in your (otherwise well-written) review about this mission I didn't quite catch why.

I might continue Rocksbourg. I am at the Keeper hideout in mission 2. The people having French voice lines kind of breaks my immersion a lot. The corridors begin to blend together a lot and I know that mission 3 takes place in this base completely. It doesn't really excite me, sadly. For its time it was incredible and unique. That I can see. Maybe I'll be amazed when done with mission 3, so it's probably still worth continuing.

The mission is small and interconnected, which makes getting through never an issue. The atmosphere is great and works well to sell a city that's diff...

To get the obvious out of the way, the atmosphere and detail in this mission is just perfect. It might be one of the most beautiful and richly detailed levels I've played in Thief. You will feast your eyes on many unique props, enemies, music, textures and settings. That alone makes this mission worth playing.

This being a debut surprises me...

Did you change the review to reflect those fixes? I don't want to be rude but I totally understand Decarabium's sentiments. Your review doesn't really seem "honest" whatsoever, after all it reflects issuss that aren't a part of the mission. It doesn't seem fair.

Opinions are always fine, but sometimes things you noticed just don't end up being a part of the mission, turning out to be caused by external factors, and it's great if someone is able to acknowledge that.

Same here. I feel like at this time, Thief 1 missions were a lot more rare. So something was beholden to higher standards.

That said, the contest this mission was a part of had a lot of much better entries, that were rated lower (Shadow Play comes to mind).

This mission feels like a regular mission in terms of having to explore the map in search of things or people. There's little to no stealth involved, but jeez. There's just so much charm and detail added to this map, it's incredible. Some of the objectives are real fun to do, and it's all in the spirit of Christmas. Its highlight is the storytel...

This mission reminds me of "Saints and Thieves" in terms of how underrated it is. It's really good, quite big and mostly easy to traverse. It has a great, somber ambient track play in the background. That track really adds to the mission.

This mission does what it sets out to do. It has little in the ways of story, nothing in the ways of stealth. It is all about puzzles here. The puzzles are near-perfect in terms of difficulty. Personally, I only had to look up a small detail regarding the magic beans. Aside from that, I managed to figure out everything on my own. There are a few...

Seems like a pretty buggy mission. In the beginning, the thief I was meant to chase fell in the water after being semi-alerted to me right in front of the mansion he was supposed to enter. He doesn't seem to die, but I bet I can't get a gemstone when this guy has it in his hands the entire mission.

UPDATE: He almost died, and then he found me...

Not quite sure what this has to do with TBP, other than having one of the same authors. People keep mentioning TBP lore missions and they seem pretty much nonexistent.
