Frobber,
I have to say, all of those missions were awesome except Oracle of the Prophets and Reversing the Order. I skipped the Oracle level, and now I simply give up on the Reversing level. This level is so frustrating and impossible that it made me want to punch a hole in my moniter. I don't know HOW you expect players to complete such an impossible mission. I keep on restaring the level, but Alisha keeps getting killed and I can't lead Fran to the fireworks area. There are TOO MANY GUARDS!
I'm sorry, but I give up on your missions. :(

Thanks. I guess I will try both missions again sometime. :erg:

Really good mission series...talk about an emotional ending. I am really curious, though, who is Jenny (if you don't mind me asking)?

To my knowledge no one other than beta testers have ever asked. Perhaps the best way to answer is to say how Judy (the doll Garrett carries throughout most of the campaign) was modeled on Jenny's inseparable Cabbage Patch doll.
Years before, while Jenny slept, Judy would travel on all sorts of adventures, first to the North Pole on Christmas night and then many more places for further bedtime story-telling material. By morning Judy had returned and that evening she recounted her grand adventures in a tiny voice I can still make, but haven't for a long time.
Just before I began playing Thief, Jenny was killed in an ice storm as she and her mother assisted at an accident scene. Thereafter Judy sat on a shelf -- until I decided to send her on this one last grand adventure.

And what a grand adventure it was!

I can't believe I let this one lying in my folder for so long. I hardly saw it recommended, though after finishing it tonight I think this is one of the best things I've ever seen in the FM world. A story full of twists and different areas, beautiful architecture, so much interesting ideas and philosophical thoughts. You took Thief to a deeper level, frobber.
Though I'm not really reviewing anymore, I'll make an exception for this one. Looking at the posts in this forum I don't think everyone has played it, at least there is not as much posted about it as it deserves. I hope a review will change that, this is a must-play campaign. I'm afraid I won't be playing much Thief in the next week - after playing this everything else just seem a bit less right now.
Thanks for making Keeper of the Prophecies.

trigger the convo between Alisha and Cavador before throughly exploring and looting the cathedral?
Wait just one bloomin minute here! When I got back I was still poisoned! (The Other Side of Time) Had to keep taking health pots - NOW it says I was sent back BEFORE I was poisoned!
It is the same night! WHAT? :confused:
Well I think that text at the start was baloney! Sure looks like I am still poisoned! Not to mention the still LARGE # of health pots all around! :p
(and my coughing and the health shields going down every so often!)
Got a gameplay question: (sure hope it gets answered soon!!!:erg:)
How are you supposed to check out anything else (such as the safe house, weapons caches, etc.) if you gotta tail Alisha and be her guardian angel? :confused:
HUH? This is all messed up , I never saw Alisha enter the pub "just before 10 o clock", but I did see two guards come running out a coupla mins later, CHASING NO ONE! And no Alisha coming back to the pub!
(did she become the new Sue Richards???)
Frobber - Not only did you not have Alisha actually there as I said above, and not only did you have that contradiction over the poisoning, but gee, you did'nt even have Franticious labeled AS Franticious!
You did'nt make those kind of mistakes earlier so I am guessing that you must have been getting very tired of this campaign by the time you got around to Rev. the Order!

Reversing the Order is a very tricky mission. The sequence of events varies with Difficulty and once the AI are on the move it is impossible to predict what will happen, which is why I didn't write a walkthrough. For example, there are two possible exits from the pub that Alisha may take. I would recommend you get in there just before 10, hide in a corner and watch and wait. I use a lot of saves and quicksaves when playing this one. Every time is different.
Check (
