Finished 'The Black Parade'. Looking for fan missions with these elements. - by Garrett731

I just completed The Black Parade. Not including 'Death's Dominion', 'Jaws of Darkness', and the final mission (I didn't like the architecture and fantasy elements), I appreciated the design, complexity, and world-building. 'Where Old Faces Fade' was a masterpiece of eclectic architecture - my congratulations to the creators.
I would appreciate other FM recommendations, but focused on at least two or more of these elements:
1. Parkour puzzles and verticality. Scaling imposing structures with rope arrows, navigating precarious ledges, etc. I just find it so thrilling.
2. Secret doors/entrances and non-linear world design.
3. Beautiful loot/treasure and architecture. I don't think anything will supersede the interior gardens of 'Where Old Faces Fade' in The Black Parade, but still.
4. No excessive fantasy. I don't mind some horror-themed levels or venturing into trap-laden catacombs - it's exciting - but I'm more partial toward mansions, castles, etc.
5. Genuine challenge and intelligent mission objectives. I'm very patient and like to be tested.
Thanks for any help, and please let me know if they're for Thief: Gold or Thief II: The Metal Age. :thumb:

I can suggest Skacky's missions:
- Between These Dark Walls
- The Chalice of Souls
- Endless Rain
- The Sound of a Burrick in the Room
- Winds of Misfortune
I'm also recommending Melan's missions:
- Rose Garden
- Bad Debts
- Disorientation
- Unbidden Guest

Reverse Robbery has some hard parkour jumps and even one parkour puzzle. Lots of hidden loot and secrets. It doesn't have the soaring, complex multilevel architecture of a Skacky or Melan mission, but you do have to get vertical and navigate some ledges.
A lot of people say it's too hard so it might be right for you. Make sure to do the "Director's Cut" version.

Thanks! :angel: I recently added parkour puzzles and verticality to the list: scaling structures with rope arrows, navigating precarious ledges, etc. Do you think some of these are pretty good in that area too?

"Into the Odd" has an amazing amount of crazy buildings and structures crammed into a compact City area.
