Thank you RippedPhreak yet again for an excellent mission. The level design was really really good and believable. Only grip I have with the mission
was the forced ghosting on expert, maybe next time if it is technically possible then could the ghosting be an optional mission so that failing it would not
fail the whole FM? I mean even the forced ghosting was also fine for me (I detest ghosting :D) the missed loot in the mansion makes me so sad...
I managed to miss the apotechary safe even though I did get the key somewhere during the three hours of my gameplay.
I also missed the "last" medallion near the statue but overall the mission design was excellent. Loot limit was reasonable, even when I missed nearly half of it :D

Well, after about a month or more on and off playing, i finally managed to finish the mission. In my opinion this is the best FM of the year so far.
The high definition graphics, the colors, the ambiance, the verticality, the bonus objectives, the insane amount of total loot (I only managed to find about half of it or a bit more). I will surely revisit this mission some day and try to find more hidden stuff, but it's like GTA San Andreas was: every time you think you found everything, the game shows you someting new.
RippedPhreak, you are a very talented mission author. I hope I can play many more of your future FMs ;) .

Only part way through but I wanted drop some praise here.
The city buildings are impressive. The interiors are beautiful. The care with details is very high. The climbing is not always obvious, and the effort is usually rewarded.
A lot of hard work went into this one and it shows in a good way.
Now, back to thieving!
Farther along.
I just can't praise this mission enough for its look and its immersiveness.
The opera house is simply beautiful inside. Even the opera guards are wearing really sharp uniforms. A simple thing like the sign holders for the "Closed for the season" signs are elaborate and elegant.
There is a place near the opera house where you can see two statues on either side of a peaked roof. One of them is whole. The other is broken. I'm pretty sure they are well out of reach, but just the fact that they differ is indicative of ATTENTION TO DETAIL.
The interiors of Theo's mansion are works of art.
Tip:If you see a place that seems likely to hide loot, particularly if it is hard to reach, more often than not you will be rewarded. I LOVE that!
