Didn't age well:
Looks like we've got completely different criteria for rating fan missions, because I think this is one of the best and most enjoyable city missions. It's not about blocky design or boring textures (I agree with this to some extent), but fantastic atmosphere, good storyline, and sheer vastness of the level., Sept. 5, 2021, 6:36 p.m.

Speedrunners should like it:
It's a nice fun mission to play on one's lunch break, but that's all. I wish there was something more than "get down as fast as you can without dying" to this level. A few additional obstacles (such as archers) or hidden nooks and crannies with loot would make it more enjoyable and challenging., Aug. 20, 2021, 1:49 p.m.

Thanks. However, when I select "Best" and multiple games, the filter resets to default. Not sure if it's just me or is it a bug., Dec. 19, 2020, 6:08 p.m.

Classic mansion heist:
If you have enjoyed Assasins and Lord Bafford's Manor, you are definitely going to love this mission. It's a well-designed mansion heist with some adjacent city areas to explore. The atmosphere in this mission is just perfect and brings good memories of design characteristic to the late 1990s. Gameplay is solid, though hunting for keys takes some time to accomplish. The story and the readables are also very interesting. Highly recommended., Nov. 23, 2020, 9:17 p.m.

Aemanyl created a new topic about Stronghold,
Really cool:
An entertaining mission featuring the mix of the Pagan and Mechanist style. We start in the snowy forest in the mountains. Then, we continue through the caves, to finally reach the Mechanist stronghold which Garrett needs to infiltrate. The gameplay is pretty much linear and consists of more fighting than sneaking , but I've found it really enjoyable. Good use of weather effects and high variety of environments makes this mission worth playing. Check it out., Nov. 18, 2020, 10:04 p.m.

Aemanyl created a new topic about Lord Edmund Entertains!,
One of my favourites:
Banshee was one of the early pioneers of FM design. He left us with two gems that hold up to this day. In "Lord Edmund Entertains", Garrett is gatecrashing into a secret meeting organised by Lord Edmund. He has to figure out how to break into Lord Edmund's Mansion and discover what this meeting is about. This is not a very long mission (you can finish it in about 30 minutes), but it's extremely well done.

The atmosphere of the town makes me think of long autumnal nights. There are stars b..., Sept. 26, 2020, 8:09 p.m.

Recommended:
It's a good fan mission. I feel like the author's "Lord Edmund Entertains" was a bit better in terms of gameplay and story, but "The Vigil" is a solid creation that will keep you entertained for some time. Even though there are no ambient loops (room brushes are correctly set) in most places, the silence felt appropriate. In the first part of the level, we explore the burial grounds where Duke Creygan and his ancestors are buried. There are also two interesting puzzles to solve. The second pa..., Sept. 25, 2020, 12:31 p.m.

Aemanyl created a new topic about Gems of Provenance Campaign,
One of the best fan mission series ever made:
Fantastic campaign. It features so many environments known from original Thief levels (mansion, mines, Lost City, tombs, sewers, towers, Keepers' area, etc.) and polishes them to perfection - "Greatest Hits" with an individual tint. Garrett has to steal a valuable gemstone called "The Widow's Ire". The path to this objective is not easy and straight, however. Even when he finally finds "The Widow's Ire" at the end of the second mission, things suddenly complicate, and there are two additiona..., Sept. 21, 2020, 10 a.m.

Aemanyl created a new topic about Lorgan's Web,
How to make Assasins (almost) right:
Garrett is preparing himself for a mansion heist and suddenly everything goes wrong. The City Watch is knocking at the doors of his apartment and he has to flee. Looks like someone sold him out! The objectives of the mission are to find the wrongdoer and to steal a collection of expensive jewellery from Lord Fishkill's estate.

The mission is based on the OM Assasins. Unlike the vanilla level, the city in "Lorgan's Web" is no longer empty. Garrett can enter almost every building and there a..., Sept. 15, 2020, 11:35 p.m.

Aemanyl commented a topic about The Library,
An early classic:
Thanks for sharing your opinion. I agree that the layout could have been better and the loot requirement was too steep compared to total loot available in the mission. Bloodstone Prison is gorgeous, but I have not played Embracing the Enemy yet., Sept. 6, 2020, 4:36 p.m.

Aemanyl created a new topic about The Library,
An early classic:
Even though "The Library" is one of the first fan missions ever made, it is still enjoyable in 2020. The story is interesting and there are multiple readables to keep you engaged. Garrett has to break into a Hammerite library and steal some valuable objects, including a mysterious book. Gameplay is pretty good, except that I had some problems with finding loot and avoiding the guards in a chapel. The atmosphere is dark and grim - the way I like it. "The Library" is definitely worth playing, p..., Sept. 6, 2020, 3:56 p.m.

Aemanyl created a new topic about Shadow of Doubt,
Captivating:
I have greatly enjoyed playing this campaign, despite numerous bugs, glitches, and gameplay problems that forced me to re-load my saves because I couldn't progress further. Yet there was something captivating about Shadow of Doubt that made me continue. Many of these issues are to due the fact that everything was made in Old Dark, but as far as I know some problems were already nagging players when the campaign was released. Bugs and gameplay deficits aside, Shadow of Doubt is worth playi..., Sept. 5, 2020, 12:13 p.m.

Aemanyl created a new topic about Order of the Dew,
Very nice:
It's a small yet very enjoyable mission. Perfect for a lunch break or shortly before going to bed when you are too tired to think about complex puzzles or very long readables. Garrett has to infiltrate a secret society of mages that allegedly has its meetings in a local tavern. There is also a Hammerite church to rob and a couple of other interesting places to look for loot. I give bonus points for autumn-like (:P) atmosphere that reminds me of Calendra's Cistern. Good job, Jayrude., Aug. 19, 2020, 9:17 p.m.

Aemanyl created a new topic about Lingering Whispers,
Didn't enjoy it:
A warehouse heist that turns into some kind of post-mechanist, undead horror. The first half of this mission is pretty enjoyable, but when things go surreal everything becomes annoying and confusing with unkillable enemies and too many readables on top of that. Feel free to disagree, but this is not really my kind of mission., Aug. 9, 2020, 5:27 p.m.
