Wow, that is some nice speed on the torrent, I'm hitting 350 kb/s! I'll seed this for as long as I can without effecting my usual downloads ;-) (It's AP week though, don't worry about me being too busy on my computer). Thanks a lot.

frobber, you held out on these episodes!?
The way he talks about them, they add up to essentially 1 episode, just broken into 5 parts...

My my, [SPOILER]Alisha is quite the knife fighter! :P Love the new motions.[/SPOILER]
Ok, I give up frobber. Can you please tell me...[SPOILER]where is Alisha in the Inheritance? I've wandered around for an hour and can't find her![/SPOILER]

Frobber, how long did this take you to produce this amazing story? What projects do you have planned for the future?

Wow. I just finished it, and ... wow. It is definitely on my replay list :D
Excellent work, Frobber !
I especially liked [SPOILER]The knife-wielding Alisha ! I'll bet Garrett never got her annoyed :) She even took out Francticious for me. [/SPOILER]

Easiest way to find Alisha in The Inheritance:
[spoiler]1. Get up to the roof. I mean the roof roof -- where the big sliding sunroof is.
2. Get down into the pool area directly below you.
3. Find the big conference room with the tight spiral stairway. This is the same room you rode the elevator up to in an earlier mission.
4. Up that spiral stairway, she's in the room to the left (I think it's left; it's somewhere very near there).[/spoiler]
Note: do some exploring and wandering around first... you won't get a chance later!
All these missions are ghostable except for episode 6, Reversing the Order -- which is absolutely not ghostable, so don't even think about it. But Ep 6 is, I think, the most tense and stressful Thief mission ever made! And very, very tough on Expert.
In fact, you actually will have to do some serious strategic thinking. But boy, is it worth it.

Yes indeed, I spent a couple of hours trying to beat Ep 6 on Expert, but gave up and did it on Normal. I'll try expert again when I have like a whole day to devote to it...geez!

It started over five years ago when I began building the Thief 1 version of The Enterprise. Spent about six months writing the story after that (a feature-length cinematic screenplay I'll be releasing with the 'campaign' version this summer) and built pretty continuously after that -- including a four month break to rebuild The Enterprise for Thief 2. Averaging 20 hours a week, it took roughly 4-5k hours.
[edit] to answer the second half of your question -- I plan to sleep for a week, lean on my testers to field questions when I'm not around (thank-you thank-you!), and get back to writing when I finally wake up. No plans to make mission mods for now.

Can I ask a "haven't played any of them yet" question? Main reason is, I'm coming through a 56k, so I don't have a lot of room for download error (especially when it's this big ;))
In my archive disks, I have the following:
KotP: The Enterprise
KotP: Hallucinations
KotP: The Insurrection
KotP: Oracle of the Prophets
I do NOT have KotP: Book 1, as I assumed that was a collection archive.
After getting this new 5-9 download, will I have them all? Just want to be sure before starting, and that I'm not missing something important with the 'Book 1' archive.
