Some dumb zoomer who somehow stumbled into Thief and really enjoyed it.

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-o...

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.

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 di...

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...

topic about   The Night Falcon (NewDark)
MarcusFlintlock    Aug. 18, 2021, 2:36 p.m.

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 ...

Is this meant to be satire?

I legitimately can't tell because I've never played this mission before.

MarcusFlintlock    Aug. 17, 2021, 4:54 a.m.

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...

MarcusFlintlock    Feb. 6, 2021, 11:07 a.m.

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 Annivers...

MarcusFlintlock    Dec. 27, 2020, 9:09 p.m.

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 ...

If I hadn't just played through the original two weeks ago. Very fun, the OG! But I don't really want to go through it again so soon just for the second level.

I'll see about doing it some other time. Keep it downloaded just in case.
