okay, so. i've been hanging out on gengaming for most of the year, but like i do every year i plan on starting a thief marathon. (after bioshock, of course. ;) )
this is a very lengthy marathon, really, and it boils down to what's ultimately about 5 games' worth. the three original games, T2X, and enough FMs for a whole 'nother game, though not all in one block. here's what i've got so far:
(C+P'd from a textfile that i keep)
Thief: The Dark Project (gold, of course)
Lorgan's Web
Bloodstone Prison
Geller's Pride
Shunned
Cult of the Resurrection
The Inverted Manse
Wickerman
Mountain Monastary
Gathering at the Inn
From Beneath the Sands
Into The Maelstrom
Hightowne Museum
The Cistern
Breaking and Entering
The Curse
Saints and Thieves (my favourite FM ever, btw.)
Thief: Shadows of the Metal Age
Equilibrium
A Pirate's Downfall
Thief: The Metal Age
A Debt Repaid
The Bridge
Thief: Deadly Shadows
these have been thorougly examined so that the FMs do not outright break canon (there's a few that do, which means i don't include them.)
there have been a few older entries i've dropped, despite how much i like them. for example, the lord edmund series seems to have never been finished last i checked, so i dropped lord edmund entertains! and the vigil.
so here's a question: are there any new FMs out there that i can/should include in this little collection? say, perhaps, a conclusion to 7th crystal (i wish, hope, pray?)
[PS] i haven't seen any new threads on thief gold crashing on bafford's, but i've managed a work-around. it works fine on the training level and every other level as far as i can tell, it just crashes on bafford's if you start a new game and skip training. the workaround consists of going through training (or just loading it up and then using the skip mission cheat), at which point bafford's loads up fine. a savegame at the start of the mission will allow you to just jump in later. however, restarting the mission will cause a crash.
