Another excellent contribution to the contest! My ironman run of Sabotage In Eastport was really tense throughout, not just because of some dangerous rooftop climbing, but also because the guards posed a real challenge. I liked this mission a lot. :D
1st attempt (failure):
* Normal difficulty
* Ironman (no saves)
* 25 minutes 30 seconds
* 190 / 1287 loot
* Cause of death: killed by metal beast
* Failed a jump from the roof of Lady Valeria's to the Mechanist workshop. Survived because I had a slow-fall potion ready and gulped it in mid-air. My fall alerted all the guards in the street and a metal beast from inside the workshop. Took some more fall damage when I could not climb back down a rope arrow I had shot up to a wooden flower bed near Lady Valeria's. Without managing to take out a single guard on street level, I was shot by the metal beast.
2nd attempt (success):
* Normal difficulty
* Ironman (no saves)
* 1 hour 3 minutes 35 seconds
* 704 / 1287 loot
* Best moment: After I had climbed down the pipe from the roof of the top floor of the Mechanist workshop, I blackjacked a cyborg Mechanist, but failed to see a nearby watcher. The second it saw me and sound the alarm, I noticed a control panel behind the pillar I was standing and - without thinking - immediately activated it. It turned off the security system and the alarm. That split-second decision saved my run.
Bugs:
* When you set sky details to low, the sky is just blue.
* A bucket in Brother Tickspring's room either has no bottom or is sunken into the floor.
Elements that could be improved after the contest:
* The phonographs in the mission play music or voice clips we already heard in the original missions. Would be cool if they could get some custom sounds, maybe even a voice clip by Brother Tickspring for the one in the Mechanist archive.
* The metal beast prototype should look different than a regular one. Maybe a protective flap on the back that you have to remove before you can shoot its boiler with water arrows?

Excellent mission :thumb::thumb:, only one question : I handed the precursor mask to the fence, picked up what he gave me, but when I finish the mission, this objective is marked as not accomplished. Any idea ?

Mission beaten in almost 1 hour and collected 1140 loot + completed job offer. I found loot objective to be really tight and some climbing felt awkward, but it was interesting challenge. There are well placed enemies and I think it is the hardest mission to ghost. I was a bit disappointed that reward for job offer isn't loot. Also out of every submissions, this mission has the most completed and involved main story. In short it was really great mission.

The readables kinda point that out, don´t they? It´s a prototype,
one that can´t be destroyed with water arrows. Sure the readables don´t actually say it but since it´s pretty far in the metal age I thought it was kinda obvious that it can´t be a prototype of just a normal bot. You can destroy it with mines though ;)I really loved this mission, probably my new favourite of the contest. Including a thieves highway (even if just a small one) is always the best :)

By "marked as not accomplished" do you mean that the objective's checkbox was not ticked off in green or that the checkbox was ticked off with a red X (i.e. it failed)?

Excellent. I enjoyed this mission a lot and had a sense of achievement. Playing on Normal I found 993/1287. I wasted many water arrows (not realising I was firing at the prototype) before using something else and then, belatedly, I read the project file. DOH! After it collapsed, just to be sure it was “disabled” and disassembled, I did the standard striking with a sword 8 time. I didn't find any molds/moulds. :D Very good! Loved it. Still lots to explore. Thank you.

I've scoured Lady Valeria's place for ages now, and can find no hint of the mask. Or any painting of Truart for that matter. What am I missing?
Edit: Immediately found it as soon as I posted. :rolleyes:
For anyone else stuck - the Truart painting is over the stairs up from where the servant girl is stood, and it opens a panel above a bookcase behind where the painting is.

...and finished.
That was great fun - story and the way it tied into the T2 original story was great. Exploring the rooftops and windowsills was a lot of fun. Only problem I think is that the space limitations definitely hurt the sense of scale in the mission - I think it would have been better to be slightly wider and less tall. But still, a really fun, interesting mission and well worth a play!
