Good gameplay, average visuals in some places:
Great story and readables, but average geometry in places. overall thought very good 2 mission mini-campaign., April 28, 2021, 2:15 p.m.

Bikerdude created a new topic about Thief's Rising 2,
Great idea, hampered by design choices.:
Clearly a lot of effort went to create this campaign, but some design decisions inexplicably hampered gameplay where it became a chore in some missions. As everyone is fully aware the mantling in this engine seriously flawed, compared to any other Thief game/s. And this created a lot of frustrating WTF moments throughout the campaign.

By the authors own admission, the voice acting sub-optimal. But I failed to understand the need to replace some of the stock garret vocals. This was made wo..., March 8, 2021, 2:14 p.m.

Bikerdude created a new topic about Now and Then,
Its like the Tardis, small on the outside bigger on the insde.:
Like Mike, when I started "Now and Then", I thought it would be small city/museum mission.

What appeared to be on first glance a small and basic mission, which surprisingly turns out to be the complete opposite. A fair number of the building are enter-able, but not from obvious locations. The sub-plot and readables related to the inhabitants told well and breath atmosphere into the FM. This mission rewards exploration as it uses space (and time!) very effectively. My small nitpicks are ..., Dec. 6, 2020, 8:34 p.m.

Review - Scroll of Remembrance:
This mission unfortunately didn't go through a lot of beta testing, so bugs like incorrect use of visportals never got caught. This is primarily what is causing the poor perf., Dec. 2, 2020, 10:20 p.m.

Review - Dragon's Claw:
This mission is very old, like 2011 old. The mission was originally built for the Halloween contest, hence its shortness. But there was a very bad show stopper of a bug in the tavern. So 2 days before Halloween 2020 I thought what the hell, lets see if I can fix this bug and any other mapping bugs or old techniques. As it been 9yrs, it turned out there was quite a number of bugs. But I fixed them all, including making a new Ghost Ai skin for other mappers to use :-), Dec. 2, 2020, 10:15 p.m.

Bikerdude created a new topic about Ascend The Dim Valley,
Lots of nooks and crannies.:
This type of T1/2 mission is what I thoroughly enjoy the most. I love the rats nest nature of the FM, the constant rewards and eye candy you get when you explore. Then there is the story, very unique and encapsulated, fantastic., Sept. 6, 2020, 12:13 p.m.

Diamond in a rough of city sandboxes:
I have just finished going through both of Skacky's lets-play vids and fixed, corrected and added to this mission based on his observations, bugs reports and annoyances. Should be a much better all round experience for new players. There is still a few more things to fix and once those are done and myself and dragofer have done a quick fly through version 1.1 will get released., July 31, 2020, 9:48 a.m.

Highly impressive but definitely rough around the edges:

There are still some bugs that stumped me and I honestly think these are core-mod bugs. But I have done my best to address these as I ..., July 28, 2020, 11:05 p.m.
