i dont like ghosting myself and i will kill haunts when they are isolated enough so I'm not caught in a melee with a whole garrison of them.
I consider myself a blackjack maniac, but i wouldn't reccomend blackjacking a haunt :erm:

For some reason I didn't have ghosting in mind while creating this, I was just trying to create something cool. I didn't lay all my options on the table before starting but I think it came out to be what I wanted it to be, minus the objective bug in which I have no idea why it does that to some and not others. I never encountered the problem during development and neither did my beta testers.
DromEd is evil :mad:

Where is the gear for the vault on the first floor?
I have looked back and found that it is in the lord's bedroom. Where is this? Is this the heavilty guarded turreted double door room with a guards? How do you get through that?
BTW, I've given up ghosting here.

Damn, found the switch. Nevermind. Sorry.

I too have been unable to complete the game because the Objective to find the scientist and find out what caused the undead to appear will not tick off.
I have opened and entered the secret chamber in the [SPOILER]music room[/SPOILER], got the Observatory key, opened every page of the book on the desk, (I think there may also be a scroll on the desk - if there is, I got it and read it), nabbed the loot item on the bookshelf, and used [SPOILER]the lever that opens the secret[/SPOILER]. All to no avail. I also tried picking up the scientist and dumping him outside in the main room, but the Objective still won't complete. I've finished everything else - found all the secrets, killed the flame head guy and got the evidence, but the game won't finish. Which is a shame, because otherwise it is excellent.
One specific question - when I open the chamber, the scientist can be heard falling down. Is he supposed to be dead when you find him or still just alive?
I have Thief 2 patched to version 1.18, and DarkLoader v4.1. I'm playing on Hard, so this doesn't just affect those playing on Expert. I've had a similar problem with Calendra's Legacy. I have never used Dromed, but there seems to be a problem aligning Objectives as they are communicated to the player with how the game itself regards them; which can seriously retard the enjoyment of otherwise excellent FMs.
Any help would be gratefully received.

I'm replaying this golden oldie by HipBreaker, although I'm not sure if you can call this oldie yet? Anyway, a great mission, thanks HipBreaker! I really like the music and lighting -- creepy :eek:
It's interesting how some of the things you remember doing quite easily back when you first played this now seem troublesome (of course the opposite is true as well!). For example, back then I found the key to the chests quite easily but now I had to search for a hint...:o
Anyway, I just did something I didn't dare to do the first time round: [SPOILER]I killed the scarecrow[/SPOILER] :ebil:

I just started playing and can't find anyway into the Mansion. Help, and be specific please. I am playing on expert.

There's a sewer hatch in the street. I'm pretty sure that's the way in.
Lynx67 on 28/7/2008 at 22:47
Hi Nightwalker. The sewer only leads to the graveyard unless I am missing something.
Nightwalker on 29/7/2008 at 01:31
When you get to the graveyard there's a haunt standing with his back to you. He's wearing the Sewer key. Take it, go back down the stairs and back past the ladder you used to get into the sewers originally. Beyond the ladder, go through the doorway on the left into a room patrolled by an apparition. Leave through the other door that leads to another part of the sewer which gets you past the gear that blocks the passageway. There's another room here with 3 zombies on the floor. The door at the far side unlocks with the key you just found and gets you into the house. :)
