Thank you for your hard work! It was sincere joy to play through the FM once again.
Really loving the changes, Jim Jim side-quest was hilarious and one of my favorite parts.
Overall, both missions are astounding with the details and overall atmosphere is marvelous. The winter building is certainly something to remember!
Currently, I need help with the chess pieces hunting. I've found almost all pieces, except one pawn, the most right one (either #8 or #1). Would appreciate atleast a tiny clue on whereabouts.

>>Changelog
>- Removed AI ability to see through transparent windows
Why? It doesn't actually look like improvement...

Well done Pukey Brunster and Tannar. I'm playing Mission 1 on normal difficulty and think it's excellent and fiendishly constructed. After each minor achievement, with hindsight I think <i>Ah! The clues were there all along.</i> Lots of imaginative stuff, some which I no doubt missed in last year's version when I was just trying to get to the other end so I'm not sure which are new additions. This time I did more and a couple of times stood in wonderment for longer than was healthy. Unfortunately the beings concerned didn't reciprocate my appreciation but my sense of achievement in getting into the Mill was quite something. (I <i>do know</i> that last year I got in a window). I haven't achieved all optional quests/secrets, but I followed up Marbrien's post and delivered Poor Wee Markus and also managed to get an unconscious Mr Lash to burp several times. So all good. I later found Garrett can drink from the bottle in his room but as I'd already used the Oblivion potion I wasn't able to experiment, and having swallowed the FairyFly stuff earlier it seemed best not to find out. I'm 257 short on loot and I think I've peaked. :D
But any hint on where to look for a Lucky Penny would be appreciated. As would how to get those Passion, Charm and Hair Growth potions. (For a friend. Willing to pay.) ;)
An early post mentioning Mister Jim Jim in Mission 2 is intriguing (I had wondered if that might get developed) but like some others I need to build my strength before venturing on.

Very glad you're enjoying the update! For the chess pieces,
did you read the book on the chair by the chessboard? That has clues for each one. But here are two hints:
If it's Pawn 1:
Check the Observatory carefully.If it's Pawn 8:
Check the second floor of the Gallery.

It wasn't fair that AI could see the player from a distance through a window when the player didn't even know the AI was there. It was a detraction from gameplay having to reload all the time because of being spotted by AI you couldn't see.

Congrats on the update! Finished both missions on Normal. Found all the Chess pieces in the 2nd one too. Gonna have to go back and take some screenshots of all the lovely vistas.
I do have one question though: Is there any way into the chapel bell tower in Mission 1? Those open windows up top are taunting me.
EDIT: Found it. No wonder the novice didn't want to stay there haha

You earned that sense of achievement, lol. Regarding Lash,
if you use the potion on the bottle before knocking him out you will get the actual bonus quest complete, and might enjoy the show a bit more : ) That's the only place to use the potion, though, btw. As for the
Lucky Coin, take a look on the
middle floor of the tall narrow building in town, the lighting shop. If you need a more direct hint, let us know.

After finding all the chess pieces, did you
find the hidden location that opened?

Awesome update to the mission! :thumb:
I've got a couple things I'm trying to find in mission 1 (Normal difficulty):
I found 2 of the idols, one along the river on the way to town, one in a ancient area off a mine on the way to the mill. Where's the third?
Also, I haven't yet found a lucky coin.

Thank you!
The third Jade Idol is located behind the waterfall in the forest. Look for a place to jump down near the bridge.
You can find the lucky coin in the lighting shop in town. Full on spoiler: look for a hidden switch under a table on the second floor.

That worked, thank you! - prjames
