I believe the reference was in the note in Beric's secret study. It's talking about the amulet and says something along the lines of "I heard about something similar in Rocksbourg".

Lol DrK, consider yourself a real taffer too. I had to scratch my head real hard to figure out how the hell you went up there. :laff:
Concerning the reference to Rocksbourg, Estobiaz in Shadow Politics was indeed a reference, but in this one, it is in Beric's ledger in his study. The shrine is more of a coincidence since I designed it after Calendra's Legacy's Darkwatch main tower in the first place, but in a more narrow fashion. There is a hidden reward in the vicinity too, if you can find it.
Thanks everyone for your compliments, and wow The Mike, this comparison truly means a lot to me. :o

Shit, how could I miss it !? :o
Edit : Found it, and it was so freakin obvious ! That'll teach me to not read properly.
As english isn't my mothertongue, sometimes I skip a few lines in readables to only focus on eventual hints here and there...
Merci pour la reference :D
The reward, is it the gas arrow ?

Oh my god !
I have barely ever seen a more vertical mission then this one. :eek:
Although I am far away from the end, and days away from having explored all areas, let me say this:
Children of the future, praise the Dawn of the New Age !
Thou shalt never return to the OldDark. :D

Did not see the instructions above, the mission appeared as a Thief 2 game, and launched into "Running Interference".
Edited the darkloader.ini as described and launching into Thief 1, but now crashing to desktop before mission loads.

I tried , but there's no Darkwalls in my ini file :(

You need New Dark/Thief Gold patched to 1.19 in order to launch the mission, otherwise it will not work.
Azaran, you need to follow the steps exactly. You have to select the FM in Darkloader at least once, so it shows the T2 gear icon next to the title, and close Darkloader in order for darkwalls to appear at the end of the .ini file. Then just follow the next steps and it should work. You can always launch the FM from the built-in FMSel if that still doesn't work.
And yup, the
reward is the
gas arrow.

Thank you for a great mission. Like your first mission I ghosted it right from the beginning. And I was not disappointed. Not as challenging as your first mission but still satisfactory. I only needed one moss arrow to collect some gold. I am still missing 900 Bucks.
What I liked:
[spoiler] 1. The style and atmosphere of the mission was very Thief 1- like.
2. I love the Keepers. And I love the idea that in Thief there could be a keeper compound everythere.
3. The possible routes to the mansion were great. Reminded me of Dishonored.
4. Rope arrows are the greatest thing about thief. I like interacting with the world and there is no better interacting than using a rope arrow to reach higher points. And in your mission this was done perfectly. It´s so nice to be rewarded with some risky moves. Who needs Ezio Auditore? Using a bow has so much more style.
5. I liked the little story elements. The guy who wrote the love letter, the pagan who spied this guy etc.
[/spoiler]One request for your next missions: please make this mission as ghostable as your others. Many fm builders don´t care about this.
And a question: Any chance to break into the hammerite compound? Or is it only decoration?

My mind has been blank lately, i´m playing on normal mode for two hours and i can´t seem to complete the first goal, where is this precious item that i must aquire?
By the way the mission is beautiful, this is my favourite style of missions ;-)

I went to your (
http://www.skacky.net) website and am quite impressed with your range of mission-building using several different editors (Half-Life, Team Fortress, etc.) I don't know how you can keep track.
I'm just curious as to why you don't author T2 maps. :erg: Unless you're going for the gritty feel of TG.
