I give up punching numbers into Dromed. What FM has the best-looking fog, in your opinion?

I can't think of many off the top of my head, but I did enjoy Mirror of Return's blue fog, it gives a really sinister ambiance to the mission

Black Frog mission 3 sticks out in my mind.
Tannar on 3/1/2015 at 02:44
That was my first thought as well. There's also Sturmdrang Peak.

There is no "best" fog. There is fog that suits the individual mission. Decide what you want for your mission, then tweak the fog to look like that. There are only two variables after all-- color and density. Not exactly mind-bending. Just go into game mode and use the console to view the fog setting changes in realtime.

If you're trying to get a certain look and get all the other stuff looking right (like sky, moon, distant art) with the fog, email me Terry. I've got different fog and sky settings in nearly every mission in DCE and can probably help you get the look you're looking for.
If you're just looking for foggy missions to look at the settings, I can name a few of my own to check out. The Drymian Codex has two different fog areas; the haunted crypt has a fairly dense bluish fog, and the non-haunted crypt has a lighter, yellow-orange fog. Dance With The Dead has a light, slightly blue fog. As for the prettiest, it's not actually fog at all, but the ground fog in Hazelshade Cemetery would get my vote (even though it's just several layers of conveyor belts using a fog texture).
Edit
ZB: There's more to consider with fog besides its color and distance, like whether or not to fog the sky, clouds, moon, and distant art, and what ambient light settings to use in the fog areas.

Russ, don't try and school ZB. With his long history of classic FM's there's nothing you can possibly tell him that he doesn't already know...just ask him.

None.
It must be because I've always had ATI for graphics and never liked how fog is represented.
So, I can't pick a mission in particular.
Life of the Party, for example, is my favourite mission in Thief2 but I always play it without fog.
Someone with an ATI card agrees with me?
