I believe that I have encountered a bug in Curiosity. On the opposite side of the river there is a play being performed (very nice, btw) and I cannot enter or go around the stage area. I can see clearly that there is a major area beyond this invisible wall I have encountered, but cannot get there. When I use my sword against this invisible wall it sounds as if I am successfully breaking down a wooden door, but I still cannot pass. Is this a bug? And can I still find the secret entrance without going that way?

It's a feature, not a bug.
The open-air theatre is my favorite part of this mission, but it is purely decorative. Just keep walking.

Thanks, telliamed. There is a lot of interesting visuals in this mission, but I think the open air theatre is the best. I was actually hoping this was a bug, though, becuase I've been everywhere else. Except for a small square that appears to be a door (but I can't find what opens it) in the factory near one of the docks, I have no idea where the entrance could be.

I've been back into this mission twice and I just can't figure it out -- where is the secret entrance?
Telliamed on 29/7/2002 at 04:49
Like I said, just keep walking. And when you've walked as far as you can go down that street...
[spoiler]... There's a frobbable torch on the wall at the end of the alley.[/spoiler]
It would have been cool if the radio station was functional, though. I was kinda disappointed that there wasn't anything interesting to listen too. I guess the RIAA exists in the City too. :p

Thanks again, telliamed. I think that I have gotten a buggy version of this mission -- I had already looked at that torch, and was unfrobbable; I went back in to take a second look, and it was still unfrobbable, so I restarted completely and it was frobbable, but the door (which I made out after cranked up the gamma) would not open; I restarted again, and had the same experience. I've also noticed issues with the bridge across the river -- sometimes it was there, sometimes it was not, even when the lever was in the correct position.
So, is there anything interesting that happens after the door opens? If there is, I'll download it again and give it another try.
Even still, this is one of the most pleasing missions I've played in a long time: I thought the hospital with the wounded guard was ingenious, and the guards waiting for their comrade was actually touching. Demonreaver did an excellent job -- with the hospital, outdoor theatre, and destroyed Mechanist center -- of adding a human element to this FM that I hope other builders will learn from.

Thank guys, I really apprieciate this! I'm sorry for putting so many places inaccessible.
But most of those blocked off areas were there to protect the polycount. The observatory eats the frame rate.
Basically the rule is, if it is unfrobbable, you don't need to try to get in there.
I actually found a neat little piece of music to play from the Thief 2 demo. It had a guard singing, "I Shot the Sherriff." but I think that I will release another version when I release my very first FM Leviathan (if that ever happens) that will let you go into more of these areas. Maybe I will release that after I get my next series done.

I just finished Curiosity by Demonreaver, as much as I could anyway. On expert, the mission requires 2800 loot. I've got 2364, and can't find the rest. Is there a loot list anywhere, or is there any I'm likely to have missed?
taffedinthehead on 29/7/2005 at 09:56
Just played it and found the same problem - when you grab your first loot, the objective checks off - and furthermore, there is a TON of loot that you can't pick frob! Given the huge amount of bugs in this mission, I'd guess you are supposed to be able to frob these other loot items, but the author screwed it up - I'm marking mine as finished and moving on.

I'm kinda stuck in this FM, that's the link to it, anyway I [SPOILER]can't find the secret entrance to the keeper hub, I nabbed everything that wasn't bolted down, I robbed the pirate ship but I really don't know where the keepers might be hidden. [/SPOILER] Help?
