you know at the end of thief 3 when the last glyph was activated they pulled out of the city and you saw the lit up area of the glyph through the streets of thief 3
my idea is to take the shape of that glyph and have missions made using that layout of that shape
does that make sense
and what do you think about that idea?

I like this idea. Kind of makes me wonder if someone has done this already in a FM. Maybe I'll try something like that in another FM that I have on the side...

OK, but why? What would that accomplish? Would the player even know?
We've been here before. You need to provide more information on some of your "i deas." You're not giving us much to go on here.

Not at the moment.

What Brethren said.
Do you dream about these "i deas" and forget half of the details, or what? This whole thing does not make any sense. It has been said that if you want to provide ideas, then do it properly. This is just a big nothing.

I have a great' i dea' too :D
Why not simply use dromed to make your ideas come true instead of begging other to do it for you?
You seem to be full of them and new fan missions are always a plus :cool:

The only existing FM that comes to mind here is The Joker by Telliamed. Part of the map spells the word "JOKER" when you look at it in Top View in Dromed. But, that's more of an easter egg type of thing since most players don't do Dromed, and it isn't readily apparent when playing the mission (although I'm sure you might work it out if it occurred to you, but what are the chances?)

I don't remember all the details of the Thief 3 ending (or even any details, to be perfectly honest), but my spontaneous thought is to build the city, and then let the final glyph cut through it - as in physically cut through houses, roads, rivers, and effectively flooding basements and any other cavities beneath the city (depending on how deep the glyph was buried), creating waterfalls through the ruins, opening up new passages, and everyone would be effected: poor and rich alike. This may have nothing to do with the Thief 3 ending (call it an alternative interpretation if you will :cool: ), but it could possibly be interesting to play. A lot of details would have to be filled in, of course, if you want a story that makes enough sense to be passable (I guess it could be hard to explain a few things...).
I think this has been discussed before, by the way, as in "What would a world without glyphs look like?" and "What is, really, the role of Garrett now as the 'one true Keeper'?" etc... I'm not familiar with all the lore around it, but a good start is probably to read up on that to get a feeling of what a mission based on the final glyph would be like.

the layout to map was idea, as far what is done i would think doing a map on what happens after thief 3 would be cool idea, to see everyone's interpretation of what comes next
i just though it would be a good idea as that is the final glyph in the series
some idea's could be garrett finally retires,or garrett find a girl to marry,or garrett passes on his legacy to the next thief,the possibilities are pretty endless
he could figure out a way to bring viktoria back to life as without her there would have been no way garrett could have stopped karras let alone get into that room he was locked in
and ofcourse thank you to all the people who trash my idea,using the classic "e is just coming up with idea so others can make them,as having a idea on this board seems to be a bad thing
well hope you all having a great day as i am :)
and on the question would someone even know that they in a map that is a shape= map would self appear as you been over an area=you should have though of that one :P
and qolelis you have a great idea for back story,that would be one thing that would be cool to see,great idea
also i feel its fart over due that post thief 3 story should be explored more,that is why i figured map idea was a good start
and there is always someone who pulls the classic open dromed and make it yourself line on me,and to that i say ,if me having a idea and posting it on this board,which i seen countless people do and not have a issue but when ever a person who never made a fan mission post a idea,they are trolled about it=putting it nicely
