Enjoyable but With Issues:
This isn't going to be super formal since I'm not a professional reviewer, so bear with me.

Starting off, I think this is a genuinely good mission. I gave it an 8/10 after all. The textures are obviously very nice since they're custom, the city layout is pretty good, and most importantly, I was able to figure out the puzzle parts of the non-optional objectives. That's mostly a joke but seriously, the number of times I've spent over an hour trying to figure out a non-optional puzzle in a mi..., June 12, 2022, 12:01 a.m.

A Fun, Surreal Time!:
Honestly, just a short, enjoyable heist in a weird mansion. Quite linear but I can't really fault the FM author for that. The unique guards were a fun addition, as was the general concept of the party.

My favorite point was right at the end. Won't go into specifics but let's just say I was glad I already knew where the exit was., Aug. 31, 2021, 2:16 a.m.

MarcusFlintlock created a new topic about Waterfront Racket,
Impressive for the Attempt but Unexpectedly Short:
I guess I can't really fault this mission for how I feel about it. The readme says as much that it's more of an interactive novel than a Thief experience, so when I say that the gameplay is generally pretty lackluster—and that's not even because there's nothing to steal—it shouldn't really be a surprise. Most of it is keyhunting and isn't too difficult, although the way the evidence on what happened to the reporter was hidden was clever, if not in placement then in execution.

Visually, of ..., Aug. 29, 2021, 9:13 p.m.

Say hello!:
Didn't realize there was a sort of "hello everyone" forum but I guess I better chip in.

Hello all! I'm a zoomer gamer of sorts who inexplicably got hooked onto Thief 1 and 2 about two years ago—although Yahtzee Croshaw / Zero Punctuation was definitely where I first heard of the series. I may not have the patience of your typical Thief player, since I'll only spend about fifteen minutes on a puzzle before I give up and look for hints, but I'm trying to get better about that. Same with bein..., Aug. 18, 2021, 3 p.m.

MarcusFlintlock created a new topic about The Night Falcon (NewDark),
Lower score? (Repost):
The original version of this mission has a 7.33/10 score.

So, why does this NewDark version only have 4.67? Did something break? Or did people just come back to it and realize it wasn't as good as they'd originally thought? I'd play it myself but I won't have my computer back for over a week.

Edit: Rewrote all of this because I realized I made my post on the wrong version of this mission! Big brain time., Aug. 18, 2021, 2:36 p.m.

New Generation Masterpiece:
I know this is coming a little late but...

Is this meant to be satire?

I legitimately can't tell because I've never played this mission before., Aug. 18, 2021, 6:21 a.m.

The Textures, my god, the textures.:
Full disclosure, it's been a good long while since I've played this mission. Needless to say, I liked it.

However, I just wanted to specifically compliment the author for the textures. I'm the kind of person who really just can't stand the texture quality of Thief—blame my young gamer brain—and so I very regularly make use of Necroage, the HD Mod, and (more recently) the ERSGAN texture packs. Needless to say, when I saw this mission was recommended to be played without texture mods, I was ..., Aug. 17, 2021, 4:54 a.m.

MarcusFlintlock created a new topic about Lost Among The Forsaken,
The Horror Mission for People Who Don't Like Horror Missions:
As the title suggests, I'm not a fan of horror missions. Or undead missions. Or really any mission that makes my trusty blackjack utterly worthless, removing my ability to knock out every guard in the building and then skip gayly around completing the objectives.

So, when I finally forced myself to return to this mission for the 20th Anniversary Contest—after beginning to exhaust all the other non-horror FMs I could find—I was apprehensive. My typical issues with horror missions are the af..., Feb. 6, 2021, 11:07 a.m.

MarcusFlintlock created a new topic about The Greyquarter Heist,
Genuinely fantastic.:
I'm new to Thief, relatively speaking, so I appreciate a mission that challenges me without asking me to somehow find the 1x1 pixel switch that opens the safe required to complete a mission. This one did so.

It's also pretty damn funny. Trying not to be too spoiler-y, there's a readable that I'm pretty sure is making fun of certain building designs in Thief fan missions made by novice level designers, which is to say insanely cramped, claustrophobic, and not really functional. Maybe a lit..., Dec. 27, 2020, 9:09 p.m.
