Water levels in sewer are bugged for me. I have to quicksave to make the water level budge a bit.

It's been a while, but I forgot to mention that I have now returned the dryad's child. However, I still need to find the last relic. I have the bracelet and the crystal.

I give highest marks to all three parts of this fantastic mission!
Interesting architecture
Excellent town layout
fastidious attention to detail
Objectives which require thought and strategy to accomplish
Difficult at times, but there is always a way which seems natural
Truly formidable enemies
Great atmosphere
Thinking outside the norm
Much freedom of action by the player to proceed as he deems best
Technical innovations in item interaction (new to me; at least in Thief)
Virtuoso usage of the NewDark engine

I felt like I was playing a professional product of a major gaming house. It was that good. :thumb:

I totally agree with all the points above. Fantastic mission. :angel:

I have a problem with this FM. I can only play it on normal or hard difficulty. When I try to play it on expert difficulty, it kicks me out to the screen that you see when you finished a mission, just that all the objectives are unticked.
I already tried reinstalling it and a reboot. But nothing worked. Kinda weird that it only occurs on expert mode though.

Any idea what could occur this? I´m playing with patch 1.27d.

Just for kicks, I tried this too, and am getting similar results. When I play on expert, the mission fails about 5-7 seconds after starting, whether I move or not. I don't get this on any of the other difficulty levels.

No idea what would cause this, maybe one of the Dromed experts can help.

This issue results from using the DML for this mission included if you opted to install T2FMDML, which aimed to correct the kills count on the statistics screen. I am rather surprised this was not caught during DML testing. Until a new release is made available, replacing the existing 'T2FMDML\dbmods\miss_all\bts_miss18.mis.dml' or manually installed DML with (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Yycs1DxmlFx1n1hFv41JDq2Vy0RkHPp5/view) this file will prevent this. It will also suffice to simply disable the mod through the FM loader.

just replayed this series and wow,amazing,i even found dewdrop on mission 1

adding the dryad's was so great made me miss viktoria

and the optional way to complete valeria was very good,i did the non lethal

over all 9.5/10 near perfect

I just finished this on hard difficulty and I am pretty amazed too! The first mission is definitely one of my favourites! I loved the little puzzles like the one in the sewers or the one with the rats. Also the additional optional objectives were some nice candy. While I loved the second mission aswell, having to go through garretts memories, the third was not so much my cup of tea. I´m not a fan of having to sneak past the undead (since combat would be suicide anyway). But oh well, since it fit the story I can´t complain :D

This is now the 4. FM (without the undead) I play from you Hipbreaker and I loved all of them! :angel: thanks alot for your hard and amazing works!! :)

PS: Algerion was so freaking annoying that I wanted to kill him myself. No wonder everyone hates him! xD
