Number of missions in Thief 3

I can't find the answer to this anywhere, not even on the game case itself. It's driving me bonkers.

How many missions are in Thief 3?

Thanks in advance.

Oh - those only willing to offer up blind jokes need not respond.

There are 10 official missions, but there are also things to do in-between the missions.

There are 21 differnet "maps" (not including splits), a list is at the (http://thief.wikia.com/wiki/Thief:_Deadly_Shadows) WIKI

It might also add up differently if you count briefings (15?) (http://thief.wikia.com/wiki/Briefings_and_Cutscenes) Briefings_and_Cutscenes

I counted 18

In the "Books" folder for T3:

16 Briefings
14 Debriefings
14 Movie Subtitles

So yeah, 15 is a good guess.

Now, counting plot-specific Objectives is not gonna be easy.

T3 is not so much about number of missions, but the 9 days during which the events take place.

Technically all the "official" missions are the ones where you have a text explaining the mission and Garrett´s voice reading it for you. It´s where you can also alter the mission objectives such as amount of loot needed, depending on witch difficulty you choose.

There are some "in-between missions" that you must complete to finish the game. There are some objectives on these places but they don´t include Garrett reading a text for you or a minimum amount of loot needed.
