V 1.1

Same problem here as Sagittal reported. I've tried also playing on other difficulties - same result. I can hurry, take all the equipment and the key and unlock the exit door - but then, the mission ends.

I played this mission yesterday (version 1.0) and it started very promising with top quality graphics and gameplay elements. I liked the small quarter of the city around the warehouse. That was fun to explore. All was ok until i reached the sewers in the second part of the mission (after we met the pagan woman) after this i was expected to quickly find my way out and finish the mission but instead i found a maze of sewer tunnels in which the way forward was in places very hard to find. In other places we need to do very difficult jumps or we need to carry boulders to reach some ladder. Many parts of the sewers felt unnecesarry and i think if these parts are cut the flow of the mission will be much better. In the sewers part my pacience was tested heavily and the experience of playing becomes very frustrating.
Overall not a bad mission but it could be much better if the last part was way shorter than it is. I rated it 6/10 but it could have been a 9/10 if the ending part was shorter.

Nope. Please read the changelog and the gameplay changes sections in the readme since this is your replay.

Thanks Kubrick, issue resolved - the mission no longer ends after collecting equipment at the Lady of the Woods hideout and I can proceed as intended (playing on Expert) :thumb:

mission complete on expert version 1.3, 4.7k+ loot,, 2/5 secrets a bit under 2 hours game time, also i only found 1 rope arrow i could have sworn there was a second one on lower roof with dead guy?, i found on in very top roof attic/pagan marking place

felt a bit harder then first version and the camera in sewer was gone

great job, are you going to continue the storyline into a series or go into a new direction

I'm already working on a sequel, and all this dromed business started because I have a big plan for what would be the third FM in the campaign. And those won't even touch the events that were set up in this one. So we're in for the long haul.

there was one in the museum behind a grate, one in the sewer you could only reach if you had the first one, and the one you mentioned in the attic.

I've noticed a few changes, like replacing the basement key with a second lockpick. not having it earlier made the doors next to the forge a looong hold.
Now I can verify that the last secret is not found by bringing the dolls to the rat in the tunnel but I'm not sure they aren't involved somehow. I'm not a master thief, but I feel like we've looked pretty comprehensively so it must be found by an action - right?
I'll go back in tomorrow

Those dolls are only there because the Lady of the Woods had a child, no gameplay involved.
