Eclipsed by HipBreaker Released - 2:30:37 AM - pavlovscat

New Mission October 30, 2009 - Eclipsed, a mission for T2 by HipBreaker The Mission: Some time ago, a tragedy befell Port Aerinth. This unknown tragedy was reputed to be so horrific that all inhabitants of the wealthy port fled leaving behind their gold and valuables. For Garrett, this sounds like the perfect opportunity to line his pockets and have something to show for all his years of thieving. But, the dark holds an unpleasant surprise for Garrett. Impressions: This mission is a great Halloween offering that makes excellent use of suspense and fear of the unknown. The first part of the mission will have you jumping at every sound and sight. Between the written accounts left by the former citizens and glimpses of distant figures, any suspicions that you are not alone are confirmed. The tension builds throughout your exploration of the city. Once you manage to escape the city, you will discover why the city folk fled. I appreciate HipBreaker's use of colored lighting which gives the run-down city more visual interest. Also, the tattered look of the city contrasted with the bright, shiny loot items to give the city more of a feeling of urgent abandonment. Though confrontation is delayed, I never found myself bored with the city area due to the many readables which enhanced the story and added objectives. Also, the puzzles were varied with some easier than others, but none too difficult. Overall, this is a mission I enjoyed very much. Stats: My first time through, playing on Normal, I finished in 3 hours, 47 minutes. I ended with 2427/2970 loot. Screenshots: Check out the Forum Discussion Thread for tips and hints.
