I've been playing ths mission for ages and only yesterday realised that it doesn't use colored lighting :) Kind of a refreshing look for Thief 2, I haven't seen any other T2 FM that uses T1-like lights. Oh, except Bad Debts I guess :)

I am almost ashamed to say I didn't play this mission...until now. About 40 minutes in and it is so good I almost cannot take it.
Time to sleep now, but I can tell I have quite a bit to look forward to. :D

You'll be in for a treat, amazing mission!

Now you know that when I recommend a mission, you'll love it. :cheeky:

One of the absolute BEST missions. Eminently re-playable too.

Just finished and absolutely loved every minute of it! Classic Melan for sure. Although I love Bad Debts, this was definitely designed better. I especially liked the canal and how it breaks up the city with easily recognizable landmarks. In Bad Debts I got lost a lot more than here. Found all the loot except needed help with a couple of spice bags. My favorite places were the area surrounding the canal where the thief's apartment was with the secret attic, and also the sewer station with the keeper compound (can you get down there??). Lots of cool but cryptic readables that I'll delve into more on my second playthrough. My least favorite was actually the palace. Since it is the last place (likely) you'll visit, I expected more.

Could be a very tough ghost this, at least Supreme. I can see a few items that would be difficult, or downright impossible (skull gems, I'm thinking of you). Also a few sections of town that are heavily patrolled, but that might not have too easy of a thief's highway to employ. Will be interesting to see.

Thanks Melan! :cheeky:

Edit: Only found 3 out of 5 pickpockets though. What's that all about?

Yeah, skull gems make Perfect Supreme impossible, but both Supreme and Perfect Thief are on the table. The two extra pickpockets are a bug, they don't exist.

I don't have much to add that hasn't been already said about this mission. It's one of the very best vertical gameplay and rooftop missions built so far I think. Have played and finished it multiple times, without finding every single piece of loot by the way. Planning on replaying it at least by the end of this year. Don't want to put my head above the parapet but it's probably even better than "Endless Rain" by Skacky, which at least in my humble opinion is one of the best rooftop fan missions out there.

Quarantine made me pick a random fan mission, so I found this one 2 days ago and finished it yesterday, after spending more than 4 hours on it. Great mission with great design. Has a very Thief 1 feel to it. I noticed all the lights didn't have any color (just white) but I think that's a design choice and it worked well. Because it's so big it's easy to get lost and I think that has happened a little too much to me, but it was very enjoyable nonetheless. Finished with 3115/3500 loot.

Thanks, fellows!
