Mickyw33 - Did you see a notice that, despite the fact that there were guards outside the middle house, it looked strangely unlived in? Did you go upstairs into the big bedroom and read the note pinned on the doorjam? It says "Come back upstairs..."?? Aren't you already upstairs? Search that bedroom VERY carefully. :)
Francine, that was so funny! (So true, too! LOL!) :)

*Hits self on the head* Gotta think more while robbing people blind. Thanks.
This mission is truely amazing. Everything is so well laid out and highly detailed. I don't know a thing about DromEd (I couldn't even make Doom levels back in the day:p ) but I can't even begin to imagine the amount of long hours required to achieve such painstaking detail you guys give your FMs. Just simply amazing what you guys do. Bravo, bravo.:thumb:

Nope, those rope arrows where absolutely gone..
I had to start over again, but atleest now I knew the way :)
When I got to that underwater tunnell I probably spent ten minutes trying to find that hole to the crystal area again. In the end I was close to giving it up, but gamma adjusting helped me. Yeah, yeah, I know it was wrong but I wanted to finish the mission before 4 am! :p
This mission must have some of the finest architecture I've seen!
The mansion was truly amazing! I wanna live there, with that "swamp" pool in the garden. Yay!!

Hey Goldie, one thought occurred to me. Did you perhaps destroy your rope arrows without noticing the first time around? Sometimes I accidentally use a broadhead instead of a water arrow and attract all kinds of unwanted attention. If you inadvertently used the rope arrows to kill spiders, it would destroy them like regular arrows.
If anyone else runs into some problems seeing in the water tunnels, remember, that's why I included all the flares in the inventory at the beginning. It lights your way down there beautifully. (Yes, those things actually do serve a purpose! LOL!)
I'm glad everyone seems to be enjoying the mission. Thanks for all the compliments on the architecture everyone!:)

You are so compulsive you even placed the cheese wedges into cheese wheels? Your sickness, our gain!:thumb: What meticulous placement of objects and textures! Very beautiful! Once again a great story! Lachlan7, I think your interpretation of the collection room diary is correct. Not only does the story line definitely seem to point that way, but it appears uncadonego is hiding references like he did in KD. Old habits hard to break uncadonego?:cheeky: Anyway I think the character Delphos is pretty sure[SPOILER]Garrett's older brother. Philadelphia (the city) means "brotherly love", so I think uncadonego is using "Delphos" as a play on words to say "brother'.[/SPOILER] The usual sneaky stuff eh, uncadonego? So what are you saying, that somehow [SPOILER]The Trickster new the child would foil his plans in the future to bring back the world that was, so he tried to kill him as a child but failed. This is why he tried to kill Garrett after he got the eye?[/SPOILER] All super interesting stuff. I always like the reading part the best when people right good storyline. So is there a sequel?

Just started playing Two Fathers - and I see from reading other posts here that it's a really fab mission. But I'm stuck already! Got out of the sinkhole, but now have three guards the other side of the gate on constant alert (no matter how long I sit and wait in the dark for them to calm down), and can't see a way to get through the gate even if they weren't there to tear my internal organs out! Somebody please help!
lonzboy on 28/3/2003 at 17:36
Kimberly, are you sure you're at the sinhole? There's only one sleeping guard there. Have you made your way through the caves yet? It sounds like you have run into the thieves to me, though I could be wrong. I walked right up to that sleeping guard and he never had a clue!
Kimberley on 28/3/2003 at 17:42
Thanks for your message Lonzboy. I'm right at the very beginning of the mission, playing on Expert. I've rope arrowed up from the sewers where you start off. Haven't seen any caves yet.
lonzboy on 28/3/2003 at 17:50
You're going the wrong direction. Once you fall, you don't go back up that way. Fall, then go in the sewers to another ladder. Be careful, stay in the dark. Those thieves are waiting. I don't think uncadonego intended for people to be able to rope arrow up that way! I'm going to try that! He!He!:cheeky:
Nightwalker on 28/3/2003 at 17:51
I'm a bit confused. Three guards on the other side of a gate?? You start the mission by dropping down into a sewer, then you go through the sewer, up a ladder and you're in the abandonned mine buildings. There is a gate on the right, but it doesn't open and there shouldn't be 3 guards out there. There are some thieves (how many depends on what difficulty setting you're playing on) in the same section that you are in. You need to get into the building across the street, get your equipment, then go around behind the building and into a hole in the wall. That's where you get into the tunnels and caves that were mentioned earlier.
If it's the thieves that are alerted, you must have made some noise getting up here (there's a ladder, you don't need to use a rope arrow). Since you're very near the beginning, why not just restart and try again.
