Thief 1 / Gold Fan Mission
Rogue's Honour

 readme.txt





By: Triston Attridge (Totality)

Plot Description: Times are hard. The incident in Peteroski did not help. I should have known better than to trust Iron, but he paid for it. The unfortunate side effect is that I am here, in this village of Winterhelm, the laughing stock of the whole county and stuck here with not an iota of help, and out of cash.

I need my reputation to be spotless, and lucklily, someone is available to provide for it. Apparently there is a local noble by the name of Theron who is the devil on everyone's lips, he is not well liked.

Rumour has it the he is a drug baron of sorts, the caves under the village are stocked with the mushroom nocturnis, which makes an extremely strong liquor once distilled which is also narcotic. He owns the constabulary and is apparently making a very tidy profit, enough to buy a few sacred treasures. After, well, let us say persuading a former servant who was ejected I have a rough idea of the layout of the manor, and the goods that are contained within. The most exceptional of this is the Orb, an item rumoured to be that of magic, but we all know about those sort of things don't we? There's also the Ankh of Mishra, a religous plaything, and perhaps more tangible there is the Golden egg of Tut. They should all fetch some revenue....(more)

  • Pros: VERY original approach, interesting ways of getting some things done, encourages experimenting, many unexpected surprises.
  • Cons: Hard puzzles, some minor technical quirks, very simple story.
  • Bottom Line: Great gameplay, too simple story - though better than a great story with hopeless gameplay and definitely worth checking out, it's just very good instead of excellent.

    By: Zail

    Plot Description: A man in a black cloak walks into the tavern and starts asking about you. The bartender, after a close examination of the man, points to the dark corner that you are sitting at. As he walks over, you pull out a small, hidden dagger from your belt and hold it under the table. The man sits down and tells you his name is Marc. The mission he is offering you to do quickly unfolds. A Warlock named Zail has, apparently, gotten hold of an Apple of Immortality. The Apple cannot be used to it full potential unless certain herbs and powders can be sought out. While Zail is collecting these ingredients, you are to go inside his unground keep and steal the Apple of Immortality...(more)

    An interesting change, at the very least, it isn't set in a castle, however, it's not a very well designed mission.

The Vigil is a very clean, well written, well designed level Mission If you have not played "Lord Edmund" then you should play it first before participating in "The Vigil" so that you may experience the full potential of both missions.

    Comments by Andrew Dagilis: • Pros: Solidly well thought-out interiors and exteriors, custom textures and sounds, no contrived "gotcha!" traps. • Cons: Some technical/programming slip-ups, some featureless rooms (admittedly, in buildings you don't have to visit), random stitched-together plotline with several slapped-on, unmotivated objectives. • Bottom Line: The designer obviously took great pains in creating his Austro-Swisslike town and all aspects thereof. Sadly, his architectural achievement is undermined by slipshod plotting and merely average scripting. Such a well designed setting deserves plot underpinnings of equal quality; unfortunately, the plotting feels a bit hodgepodgey, as if it's being made up as you go along.

    Thief 2 Fan Mission
    More Time to Foil Karrass

     Filesize: 2 MB
     Released: 2/7/2000
     readme.txt





    By: Adrian May (Nirvana)

    Plot Description: This is the mission after Masks. Garrett is sent out to capture a mechanist servant for Viktoria to analyse and to hopefully learn more of Karrass's plans.The mission involves a quick trip into a small mansion then onto Viktoria's Agent's house on easy, but on expert level you also have to rob an art Gallery, break into the local Armoury and a nobles mansion to find ut how his Burricks have been performing so well.

    Additional Comments: This is sort of a Mission 14b. I thought the plot of Thief 2 jumped too much at the end, with Garrett being in the dark for the whole game and then suddenly knowing everything at the start of the last mission. So I'm hoping to create a steadier plot "curve".

    Comments by Andrew Dagilis:

  • Pros: Good sense of overall mission design; competent use of light/shadows and silent/noisy surfaces; resupply points are well located; a burrick racetrack and stable; mission can be snuck through in its entirety.
  • Cons: Programming errors, one of which can make the mission unwinnable; some areas are not properly scaled; amateur-looking shoebox exterior architecture and rudimentary sense of interior design.
  • Bottom line: Because its core gameplay components are solid, More Time to Foil Karrass (sic) easily overcomes its esthetic limitations and offers a few hours of pleasant sneaking. With a bit more practice, there's little doubt its author will produce missions with a more professional sheen.

    Plot Description: "Garrett's Revenge" earlier in the night you robbed the vault of the Hammerite bank. After which you returned to your room at the inn, you can hear the Hammerites searching for who is responsible for the robbery, it only takes one Hammer to check the registry in the local inn to see if there is anyone new in this part of town. In the bar below your room you were met by another keeper, who had some items you might find useful, for a price. You go to your room together to sort out a deal, you hear from him that the gate to the docks is open, the Hammer's opened it to escort some drunk guards somewhere. The game starts where you are dealing with the keeper.

    Comments by Reviewer:
    Andrew Dagilis: Pros: The map has a lot of places to visit (though few of them look good). No lack of guards to blackjack, once you get one. Cons: The architecture, the textures, the ornamentation, some object location -- the map is almost entirely lacking in esthetics. Some must-find objects can be quite frustrating to locate. The "New Objectives" chimes are heard too often and unnecessarily. Bottom line: This level has a good, though standard, basic premise, but it's not handled or developed with any originality. The decor is almost uniformly hard on the eyes, which makes it even more unfortunate that you'll spend so much time in it hunting for particular objects.

    By: Kozmala

    Plot Description: Dear Garret,

    We have been keeping an eye on the Hammers these last few months. Keeper Lukas infiltrated their order and has been passing information to us regarding their activities. It seems during extending their underground tombs they discovered an ancient temple. The markings of this temple are familiar to us. Their people stole a Talisman from us a long time ago. We thought it lost until now.

    Keeper Lukas tried to retrieve it along with a thief named Felix. It should have been a simple job but for the greediness of Felix. The Hammers caught him as he tried to raid a tomb. Keeper Lukas managed to escape but we have not heard from Felix, nor do we want to...(more)

    Comments by Reviewer:
    Andrew Dagilis:

  • Pros: The mission is well thought out, paced smoothly and gradually increases in difficulty. The Hammerites have been individualized.
  • Cons: The architecture, both interior and exterior, is simplistic and very boxy. The pedestal buttons at the end are a bit unwieldy. The 5000 loot requirement in Expert is a mite high. Too thinly populated inside.
  • Bottom line: This level offers about two hours of good sneaking and skulking (on Expert mode), with several moments of tension. The plot is a fairly standard THIEF heist, and architecture isn't the author's forte, but the mission's layout -- your progression through it -- is woven together fairly nicely.

    Plot Description: Later on the same night as the setting for Garrett's Revenge earlier in the night you robbed the vault of the Hammerite bank. After which you returned to your room at the inn, you can hear the Hammerites searching for who is responsible for the robbery, it only takes one Hammer to check the registry in the local inn to see if there is anyone new in this part of town.

You go to your room together to sort out a deal, you hear from him that the gate to the docks is open, the Hammer's opened it to escort some drunk guards somewhere. The game starts where you are dealing with the keeper. Note you start with no weapons, and no starting kit, but your lockpicks, you wore out your blackjack earlier, it fell to bits just after you got to your room at the inn, the keeper says you've got to use stealth to get through the dockyards, and so your sword would just get in the way, so he will take it and hide it in the Custom House, north of the river, for a price, which is why you don't have much cash left to buy any stuff. Also the keeper doesn't have any blackjack's left having sold one to a guard at the guard house, south of the river. Items you need to buy from shop : 2 rope arrows 2 earth arrows (moss) 1 water arrow

    By: Caleb Callaway(Despot)

    Plot Description: There is a rich man that lives in the country side near the City who has earned a reputation for being hard, but honest. A classic rags-to-riches story, in fact. He has stayed clear of all political struggles and "shady" deals. He is know as Gerome of The Woodlands, after his home which he has styled "The Woodlands". No one to your knowledge has ever had anything against him. Until now. You have been contacted by a man named Sychter who said he was willing to pay well for incriminating evidence against this man. You have no idea what Sychter will achieve by this, however, he has paid you half the agreed price already, and you wouldn't want to be on his bad side. He seems to be more influential then he is saying.

    Additional Comments: Note: this mission uses an object from Thief Gold, so if you own Thief-Dark Project, you need to download Datoyminaytah's TG patch.

  • Cons: Too easy. Similar guard patrols throughout castle. Requires Thief Gold or else you will have invisible fellows running about.
  • The Bottom Line: A fun little mission to do if you have a spare 20 minutes.

    Plot Description: The village of Ranjeya lies at the foot of Ranstall Keep which sits atop the Alskarl hill, overlooking The City. Both village and Keep have stood for centuries, with the residents of each existing in harmony with the other. A little over a year ago the Keep came under the rulership of one Lord Dalkstan, a foreigner and a recluse. Within a week of his arrival the Keep was shut off from the village. Doors that had stood open were locked and put under heavy guard, heavy patrols walked the once peaceful streets. Underlying it all was something far more sinister...

The keep is no test). . • Bottom Line: Ranstall Keep is genuinely horrible -- and I mean that in a good way.

    By: Robin G.

    Plot Description: That man was suffering such desperation that I finally decided help him. Apparently his wife had been kidnaped by Sir Terence´s men and now he has constrained to sell his lands by a ridiculous price. If it would not be enough, Lady Whitman, since that was the name of the lady, was afflicted by a rare disease and if she does not was taking her medication soon would die without solution.

    Due to the threats, Lord Whitman had discarded from the beginning the possibility of attending the authorities, therefore distress and urgency had obligated him, according he said me, to appeal a thief like me.

    Sir Terence´s gardener, man who Lord Whitman was relying, would be the only one help I would have to break into the building. Whitman indicated me his address and gave me the key of his house where he said I would find more instructions for the quest.

    Comments by Andrew Dagilis:

  • Pros: Good layout once you're inside the main house. Nice (though abrupt) twist ending.
  • Cons: Some of the town's architecture, like the strewing of your equipment all over the map, is too contrived to be believable. Difficult to get back out of the house once you drop in, unless you find the secret passage.
  • Bottom line: A nice way to while away an hour if you're not a stickler for architectural believability, especially once you finally get all your stuff back and tackle the house. Mr Garcia still has things to learn about mapmaking but already has a number of good things to offer -- how about another one?

    Plot Description: You've just paid handsomely for the construction of a secluded hideaway adjacent to the Great Forest. The contractor was as discrete as a lot of money and threats can cause him to be. How the contractor kept the work under wraps was his problem. If it became your problem, you would have to start eliminating the leaks, and he knows it. Apart from the contractor, pagans made up the bulk of the work force. After what you went through alongside Viktoria, you and the pagans have reason to trust each other. Time to inspect the place and relax a little. As always, you keep a keen eye out for any change of plans. Take things as they come, and always follow through with what you start ... Garrett's basic survival technique.

    Additional Comments: Although some portions of this level may seem impossible, I assure you they ARE possible. A hint ... don't waste your gas arrows at the beginning.

    PLEASE! TURN ON Weather and Fog! Half of this game is outdoors, in snow and fog.

  • Cons: Dodgy light propagation; some technical slips (not all of them minor); areas of high polycounts (and thus choppy framerates on weaker machines).

    Version 3 Comments by David Riegel:

  • Pros: A beautiful snow setting, a suspenseful atmosphere, a very unusual fortress
  • Cons: An underdeveloped story which does not sufficiently justify either your motivation for the quest nor the enemies' motivations for working together, gameplay which is far beyond the bounds of the Thief universe (no sneaking), a slow frame rate in many areas
  • Bottom Line: Stronghold remains a strong visual mission that carries the player through a variety of interesting settings, but there have been only a handful of fixes to the updated version. The mission can be extremely fun for those looking for a different type of experience with the Dark Engine, but still does not seem to meet the requirements to classify it as a 'professional' mission.

    By: Aisha

    Plot Description: You were informed about the corrupt Lord Weston having a secret love affair with Lady Barron, whose husband recently died in suspicious circumstances. Most likely the couple had something to do with the death of Lord Barron, a loved and well-respected man.

    Lord Weston has given the Lady some very expensive jewelry, but she keeps them at a secret hiding place as long as there's still some commotion about the death of Lord Barron. Only when things are back to normal, she can afford to be seen in public with Lord Weston and show her precious jewels.

    So this is the right time to relieve the widow of her treasures, and while you're looking for secret hiding places, loot the place as well. Also, try to find some evidence against the Lady and her secret lover.

    Comments by Andrew Dagilis:

    • Pros: For a first effort of very modest scope and ambition, it navigates its safe path without any major stumbles.
    • Cons: Some unfortunate texture choices and juxtapositions, cramped rooms, THIEF GOLD required to finish it, illogical exit objective, areas where Garrett can be struck down by inexplicable brain embolisms.
    • Bottom line: Given that the designer was merely getting her feet wet with this level, it would be unfair to penalize this mission for not accomplishing things that it never set out to do. It would be equally untrue to claim that it offers enough of a challenge to be deeply interesting. The mildness of its fun-factor is in direct proportion with the extreme modesty of its ambitions.

    Plot Description: A few yards outside the opera house where I'd been doing a job, I ran into an attractive seamstress on her way to join the opening night party inside. Her wry humor about being knocked to her feet caught my attention, and we parted on friendly terms. I saw her again last week and we talked for a long while. We decided to meet last night at my place. Her name is Chance. It turns out she's a professional of another sort--the oldest profession there is. Not your garden variety, mind you, but a courtesan. She's the mistress for a possessive merchant she wouldn't identify by name. When I woke up just after midnight, she was gone. Unfortunately, so was one of my lockpicks. Either she took it by mistake or she stole it. I hope the former, because I was beginning to like her. In any case, I need my tools back. While I don't know her exact address, I do know she lives in apartment #36 in one of the brothels in the Stew District. I'm not a paying customer, so I may have to find an alternate entrance. Although the authorities more or less "overlook" the indoor activities, a nightwatch patrols the streets to keep an eye on things, especially since the quarantine went into effect because of the syphilis outbreak.

    Comments by Andrew Dagilis: • Pros: It's a large map for a fan mission (similar in size to T:TDP's "Assassins"), with lots of places to visit and loot to collect. It has an interesting premise and an attempt at a developing storyline. Garrett is finally doing something else in his free time than drinking at a pub. • Cons: The town's interiors are poorly designed. Your second major objective is a disappointment. The brothel is a sex-free zone. It makes unauthorized use of copyrighted material. • Bottom Line: This is definitely one of the good fan missions, with a lot to do, good exterior architecture and believable objectives.

    Plot Description: The biggest news in town is that one of the local Hammerite temples to the north was just raided. Several key artifacts were taken from the temple grounds, and the Hammers themselves were left butchered and torn apart. The word on the street is that the job was pulled off by a group of unknown, independent thieves, but the Keepers have found a way to get you a more accurate description of what happened.

    Apparently, the job was pulled by a cult calling themselves The Resurrection. Comprised mostly of ex-bandits and thieves, the group has been on a mad quest to collect a number of arcane relics for use in some bizarre rituals. The group is headed by a woman, shrouded in mystery, who the Keepers have found to be obsessed with the return of the Trickster. Convinced that his return to the realm of the living is imminent, she has been recruiting various rogues into her dark organization to carry out her bizarre schemes. The recent raid on the Hammerite temple is testimony to power and fanaticism of both the leader and the cult itself.

    The target of this most recent attack was none other than the fabled Spirit Stone - a blood red gem supposedly imbued with the powers to grant life. Not surprisingly, the Keepers would like you to find out where the cult is hiding it and steal it back. However, the cult is quite cunning, and although the Keepers were able to follow several of the members back to an old, walled-off section of the city, they have no idea where their hideout is. They want you to find their fortress and descend into the depths, stealing back what was taken by whatever means necessary.

    Ordinarily, you don't take this kind of job due to the risk factor, but you don't anyone out there giving thieves a bad name. And, if the cult has been collecting artifacts, they're bound to have a horde of loot down there just ripe for the taking…

  • Bottom Line: Download this mission right away and say goodbye to your family -- they won't be seeing you for a while.

    Plot Description: The mission is based on the Dark Project series. Shortly after stealing the final talisman from the hammers Garrett was tailed en route to the haunted cathedral and was forced into a struggle with one hammerite guard in particular. This struggle led to Garrett being forced into dropping one of the talismans, the talisman of fire. He could just pick it up, but there is one small problem, the talisman of fire fell into an uncovered drain and dissapeared out of sight. Garrett must retrieve the fire talisman and get to the cathedral area, but its not as simple as it sounds.

    Comments by Andrew Dagilis:

  • Pros: Lots of places to visit (though few are esthetic). It's supposed to fit into THIEF's plotline. Pointless but well done opening teaser with good accompanying soundtrack.
  • Cons: The town's architecture and layout is poor -- you never mistake it for anywhere real. Several programming glitches. Too little attention paid to seamlessly integrating this level into THIEF's continuity.
  • Bottom line: Though the first half is somewhat dull and uneventful, traipsing through the sewer maze in the latter portion does have its moments.
