About 5 years after its initial release it's time for an updated version of Ominous Bequest. Since Broken Triad will continue where Ominous Bequest ended, Yandros suggested to me to re-release the mission with improved visuals. So here's an excuse to replay the prequel if you don't remember the story too well. :D
You can download it from Southquarter, The Circle & The Keep. Thanks to redface, Digital Nightfall & Komag for hosting the file:

Edit: 2 more mirrors added. Thanks to flying_hope & pavlovscat!
Note that this is mainly an optical update, although I also adjusted a few gameplay issues, like the annoying amount of self-closing doors and a couple of mandatory switches that were too well hidden. I also managed to finally include the Spanish version of the map which had been sitting on my HD for several years now (apologies to Gabriel). The puzzles and the story remain the same, so you won't miss anything really new if you skip this updated version.
Many of the Thief standard textures used in the original mission were remade and their resolutions doubled, where possible. I also replaced some of the objects with improved versions, but Nameless Voice's EP should work without a problem, too.
Here are a few comparison shots (left original, right updated). Click on the images to see larger versions:

Yay! :D
I actually saw you were logged in and thought this might be why. Congrats on the updated version! Will play as soon as possible.

Thank you, Eshaktaar :thumb: Downloading NOW.

Thank you for uploading the mission, Digital Nightfall! :D

Congrats, Eshaktaar! This should set people up beautifully to fully appreciate BT. I encourage everyone who hasn't played OB recently (in the last 6 months) to enjoy the Gold version and refresh your memory on the details of the story, before he releases BT. It will make BT much more enjoyable as you'll notice all the subtle continuity of story and gameplay between them.
