Hell's Motel Part 1 is so bad it's good :joke: I couldn't stop smiling, and it has that 90s feel to it, and features the longest lockpicking.
Now to Part 2.

That would be 1890's would it. :D
Hell's Motel Part 2 is only slightly less boring, having repetitively long corridors, mainly vacate rooms and a soulless atmosphere from being to end. Enjoy!
And to round up your excitement for the weekend, you need to check out amieveil??'s (get it: Am I Evil ??) final foray into Droming, his spectacularly annoying fighting style FM, the 3rd in the Hell's Motel trilogy, the T2 mission, Betrayal: Voices.
Actually Betrayal could have been not a bad mission if the enemies weren't so hard to kill, and you need to kill them all to complete one of the objectives. :grr:
Edit: @ zajazd.
Thanks for putting me in a masochistic self pleasuring mood, I'm off to play The Dread Complex. :devil:

Yeah Part 2 was disappointing :(
I'm on a mission to try every Thief fan mission ever, guess I will be necro-ing a lot.

Yeah, have fun with that - it will get old very quick.

On average I try maybe less than one mission a day, it'll be fine.

Finished on Normal in 1 hour and 13 minutes with 2768 of 3368 total loot. The hidden objective triggered when I read the book in Bafford's room at the end, but then I couldn't find my way into the manager's office. So I reloaded an earlier save and simply completed the mission right then and there without triggering the hidden objective.
I thought this was a little better than Hell's Motel Part 1. The mission objectives are clearly laid out. At no point in the mission did I feel irritated. The mission even made me laugh one time when it played the eerie "Ahhhh, come here!" sample when I entered a ladies' bathroom on the ground floor. I hope that was intentional.
At the same time, Hell's Motel Part 2 is a good example of how not to design a Thief mission: The layout of the hotel is both huge and not interesting to explore. After a long, boring trek along the outer walls, you finally enter the hotel and find it to be composed of long, boring corridors. To meet the loot goal, you have to search for valuables in many guest rooms. amievil? tried to spice things up by putting different wallpapers in them, but this does not conceal they are virtually the same room over and over again: a rectangular block with a bed and very basic furniture like a wardrobe, a shelf or a table. The opposite of an engaging environment. This mission would have been much better if the size of the hotel and the number of guest rooms were reduced by at least 50% and if more emphasis would have been put on rooms like the casino, the opera, the steam baths or the childrens' playroom.

Hello everyone. I know I' m too late, but I discovered thief FMs lately, and so for me it's all new.
Since I wasn't able to find anywhere online a walkthrough of this FM, I decided to attempt to make myself one.
I'm an absolute amateur in this, so please be lenient.
It's in 2 parts, I tried to ghost it, and I've got all loot.

Also in the description I've added this link of uploaded images of the detailet loot:

I noticed that there are more threads for this FM but I'm not going to spam.
Thank you all. My very first post in the forum. My english isn't obviously good enough (I'm Greek).
I've done the same to the first part of Hell's motel too, but I'm gone take to its separate thread.

I checked out your YouTube channel, TasosLad. It is good to see some footage from some of these lesser played and discussed missions. I played through all T1 missions that were released up until that point not too long ago, but my memory of them can sometimes get a bit foggy. Your footage is welcome refresher.

Thank you both. Also I thank fortuni for adding my walkthroughs to his thread, which, I have to admit, I discovered later, after my post. And, of course, it's excellent and extremely usefull.
