My compliments to all whom worked on this fan mission... This was great. A lot of shalebridge cradle-ish in this one.:cool:

But I wonder why I just can leave the house, and not wait for Sarah at the clock, as the objective says? :confused:

After burning her stuff and she telling you to wait, the screen will fade to black. When the scene fades in again, it's 2 O'Clock (see the big clock) as I didn't want the player to actually wait until 2 O'Clock in the game :p

EDIT

A note to all having a problem with the maze:
Please check what version of Thief you're playing at.
I received savegames from two people having the problem and it turned out that they were still playing with version 1.07 of the game.
This old version will not work with this FM!

Please download and install the proper patch for Thief 2: (http://thief-thecircle.com/download.asp?fid=423)

I did burn both items. And I got the "Objective complete".
But I didn't have all the loot needed - so that objective just got the red sign.
Could this be the reason?
My game version is 1.18.

That is the reason.. Sarah will appear beside the furnace to escort you to the clock which is automatic...

I'm trying to make sense of this but I don't really understand what you are saying. Are you saying that you burn the dress and diary but are NOT teleported to the clock in the great hall? Or have you been there already? Either way, the loot objective has nothing to do with this.

I just played it, it was awesome. Great remake of the OM, pretty well done technically and artisticaly. Liked the atmosphere, enjoyed the conversations, interesting and surprising story. I had a little trouble to find things like the key to the rooftop or the garden, but it's ok.

However, I expected it to be scarier, it was more like a thriller to me.
The flying vase in my face got me good though.
Also the lightnings almost gave me a headacke, quite epileptic...

But overall, great stuff :thumb:

Oh god, I never expected players would still play with version 1.07 nowadays !
It might be a clue to my infamous "book of names" bug in Rocksbourg 3, which I never solved because it seemed random and I never had this bug myself. That's something I never even imagined, I may have to check this out sometime...

I think in Europe the default release of T2 was already version 1.18 (at least with my games).

Just tried with the loot OK (after having a little look at the loot list ;)). No change! Still nothing.

Can you go back to earlier save and try again to burn both items?

There are at least 2 different versions of the german version (!) of Thief 2, both requiring different patches AFAIK. I also remember something about an broken/not working patch for Thief 2, but I might be mistaken here.

Ok I need some help. I've managed to find and do everything and read the [SPOILER]secret book behind the painting in the office[/SPOILER] and there are some obvious hints in there. However, I have a problem: [SPOILER]How can I get into the garden and why are there some spots different than others (storeroom, plumbing room) and I have found the pick axe and shovel but I can't seem to do anything with it.[/SPOILER] Help is appreciated!

Playing at normal difficulty:

The garden key was right next to the secret book behind the painting in the office. You'll get to do the other things after you've explored the garden .
