It's not because of the fireworks, it's because the engine isn't culling occluded geometry properly. Dark wasn't designed to handle big open spaces and large sightlines, so despite our best efforts to fix or mitigate the issue, the engine is simply rendering more than it should. We decided it was worth the trade-off, and would only become less problematic as computing power improved over the years.

All good, it gets better in closed spaces, I think I can live with it for this one.
Just came across
the synchronized dance, brilliant! :cheeky:

What a brilliant mission! I was cocky and chose Expert seeing there's no loot goal, and I felt like my soul left my body for a second when the objectives got updated with a whopping 2500 loot goal!! :rolleyes:
I really enjoyed the twisting and turning level layout and it felt like at this point in the campaign I got good enough to be able to properly ghost this.
I half expected that the mission wont be as easy as it seemed at the start so I completely ignored the small castle and went straight for the old castle.
I managed to get ~2400 loot by the time I got the main objective (I was really hoping there'd be some extra loot there), so I thought that's fine, I'll explore the small castle. I did comb the entire small castle back to back twice and I was still 10 gold short from 2500. I ended up finding some plate in an apartment finally, and finished the mission, thinking that the max loot might be around 2800. To my shock, it is 3800!!!! WHAT!! Where on earth is the other 1300 worth of loot?? Did I miss something big?

even the naughty people who lit a bonfire despite the rules.
How dare you to accuse them of being naughty. The Lord Mayor himself allowed the bonfire.:cheeky:
And like in all the missions before there is not one place with tons of loot. It is spread all over the mission and mostly in plain sight. I would guess that you missed a part of the castle 'cause I found ~ 3500 without any trouble.
I would guess you missed
the double doors on the lower courtyard next to the gatehouse.silvercup on 23/12/2023 at 19:48
I've been loving the mod and this mission. I have one question though. The two headed monster saw me and I ran under the small lift in a panic and when he followed me he died straight away. I reloaded to see if it happened again and it did. I didn't lower the elevator on top of him, he just followed me and immediately died. Is this intended? It felt a bit cheap but I wasn't complaining.

Another confusing place to navigate, fortunately I managed to send the basement creature to the bottom of the sea.
Loved the dancers and the fire-eater.

Hello, how can I open door with bloodstains near two guys talking? I'm curious what's inside :cheeky:
Atropos on 26/12/2023 at 20:36
This isn't blood, these are tomatoes (you will later find out why). The door can only be opened from the inside.
dovahkinia on 26/12/2023 at 20:45
Ohhh, okay, it looked sinister at first glance. How do I get in though? I finished my objectives, is there something I missed?
Edit: okay, turns out I missed the entire section, this mission is huge :cheeky:

Just wrapped this up in a quick and spritely ... 3 hours of game time.
I had a good laugh at Iarodo's draft letter to Fiennes, and I felt really bad for stealing from that servant whose mom sent them a letter. (I still raided their footlocker anyway. I have standards.)
Edit: I also really enjoyed "OBJECTIVE FAILED: Convince NPC to help you. NEW OBJECTIVE: steal all their stuff."
