Can anyone tell me where the "Gotcha" pranks happen with something appearing and a loud sound? I really don't want to have to go through that, argh, I can stand just undead, but wierd things that mess with your head are too much for me.

You can't avoid them so just take a deep breath and keep going! :cheeky:

Still playing and almost done (on expert), but just had to say that this mission is the ONE AND ONLY mission to ever actually, 100%, no-BS, really, REALLY SCARE ME!!! When
[SPOILER]I opened the door to the the catacombs area and the zombie came at me screaming, it literally sent shivers down my spine, and I actually JUMPED in my chair!!! [/SPOILER]
Believe it or not, that has never happened to me, and it was COOL beyond belief!!! I've played over 300 FMs, and this is new to me. That is saying ALOT! Tomi, you've created a masterpiece in my humble opinion. I also love the ever-expanding nature of the mission... just when you think you've seen it all, whoops... there's another area to explore!
Almost done, so if there are any other surprises, I'll post them here.
Again, fantastic job on an incredibly fun mission, Tomi!!!!! :) :)
Edit: Ok, just finished, and have to add one more thing. [SPOILER]The revival of AI on the way out of the academy made the ending much more enjoyable (as apposed to just backtracking to the entrance). Well done![/SPOILER]

Remember how there were two entrances to the catacombs? One way was through the library I think it was, but the switch was broken. The switch on the other side of the door (your side) isn't broken. If you keep searching, you should come across it. I don't remember finding it before I finished off the lead baddie, although I'm notoriously bad at finding my way. I wish I could be more specific, but I only played it once. :( (That won't last long, though. :ebil:) I seem to remember the way to the stairs which lead up to the library being guarded by a haunt, or at least some kind of baddie, behind a metal door, but my brain's notoriously shoddy these days. :)

Just finished the mission and its great :thumb:
Really professinal intro movie and like everyone said, the female ghosts (that took a potion of speed if you ask me :sly: ) really scared the hell out of me :ebil:
Probably there was no bathroom down in the catacombs :laff:
Its also cool to see the other guards fighting the undead. When I walked right in the arms of a group guards, I only had to let them follow me to my fleshie friends outside. I really enjoyed that.
I do have a question: what do you open when you pull a book in the small room on the first floor? I heared a noise but I'have no idea what opened and where it is.
And I noticed somes strange things: when I loaded a quick save game at the frontyard, all the zombies were frozen. Only when I walked right past them they came to life again. Is this unavoidable or some sort of bug?
And I found it a little strange that all the guards were slaughtered while all the hammerites still lived and were patrolling the upper floors. It would be cool to see them helping their friends in need.
But despite these small things there is nothing to complain. Its a really enjoyable mission, scary like the Fm The Inverted Manse, and a brilliant thief1-2 conversion (just as fun as the previous conversion I played: The Great Tree)
Well done, Tomi! I hope we can expect more fm's of you in the future.

Thanks everyone for your feedback - this community and all the great people here is the only thing that has kept me DromEditing during all these years... :) DromEd itself, as we all know, is a major pain in the youknowwhere, but it's more addictive than any drug in this world. :p
The Phantom -
[SPOILER]the book switch upstairs in the Library Keeper's room opens a little secret door behind the banner in the same room. There's just a golden goblet behind it (I think) so you didn't miss that much.[/SPOILER]

I believe that's a common bug in Thief 2. At least I couldn't fix it, sorry. That happens when you load your quicksave - all the zombies get up but they're still 'asleep'! If there's some kind of a fix for this, could someone let me know so that I can fix it for possible future FMs?
About the Hammerites and why they're attacking the player and not hostile at the undead... Well, I'm afraid you missed an important part of the story. But don't worry, I'm afraid that many other people were wondering the same! Heh... The whole thing was explained in Dacorault's diary if you ever found it. The Hammerites are
not meant to be your friends!
So did anyone actually understand why the Hammerites are there and allied with the 'bad guys'?
Anyway, thanks for all the comments and feedback, I really appreciate all that. Keep 'em coming! :thumb:
ps. there is no bathroom in the catacombs. :p

[snipped]
Well, hammers not assaulting undead is well and good, but I'da thunk the undead would be rather more indifferent as to whom does and does not pretend to be their allies...
