A night stroll (2nd mission of the Lord Ashton campaign) has a brothel-hotel, with its special part, the basement. :p

You know, I've been wanting to re-interpret the House of Blossoms from Thief 4 in TG, make it non-sucky and more tasteful when it comes to how the courtesans are portrayed while making it super gritty in terms of aesthetics, grittier than my usual missions at least. And with a Hammerite catacomb system beneath it rather than a Keeper thing.

I'd be all in for playing that mission. :D
Great to see you, Ali! Don't be a stranger.

I thought of another one with a brothel: Book of Prophecy part 2: The Hidden City. You can't enter but you can hear what's going on inside.

Thanks guys, it's good to be remembered!
Pestis Cruenta burned me out bad.

Hi Ali! Sorry to hear that, but it's nice to see you here, even if you aren't Dromeding at the moment. I hope you'll continue to drop in from time to time.

Haplo, you already have a great set of FMs, so you will always have that. If you get the patience to do another, I bet it would/will be great - and very weird! :ebil:
Very off topic, but it was your suggestion to try the Acid Trip again after I had given up in frustration, that made me start playing most FMs on the highest level and with more skill. I learned a lot of techniques from playing that game.
And thanks again everyone for your suggestions in this thread. With those and along with suggestions from the "must play" threads, I've been going through many old FMs. Interesting how some of these are only 5 to 20 MB, yet are really big. New Dark missions sam to be very bloated as compared to their contents. Then again, many have movies and special objects that are huge - making the zip turn into 300MB monsters. Not complaining… just an observation. Cheers.

Apparently high-res textures and high-res lightmaps are bloat now.
BTW, it is impossible to sign off a post with "Cheers" without sounding like a douche. Many have tried. All have failed.

Glad to hear it. Looking back, The Acid Trip was a bit too tough. It was supposed to be a god putting Garrett under serious test after all!
And never judge a FM by the size of its archive. If I remember correctly, the original Ominous Bequest was not much bigger than 10MB.
Cheers.
