13 months well spent my friend. This mission is fantastic, and though i'm not quite done with it I can say that it is very fun, a great looking mission and its massive! The way you built this is really impressive, there are multiple ways in and out of most places along with the feeling that you truly are in an underground city. Its very different, and refreshing.

This mission was challenging in all the right ways and never frustrating. Very well done on the difficulty balanced with fun!

When I read the part about an underground city I figured it would be small, but wow was I wrong! Also, the story and readable are very well done, and I found myself reading everything I could get my hands on to further the story for myself. A few shocking scenes along with some great story twists and turns. Very well done, and could be a contender for best mission of 2009!

Even the sewers are well built and interestingly designed!

Twice now I've crashed after picking up a body (and not the same one). In fact, I tested it on the same person first, and the second time it didn't crash on the same person. But a few minutes later, I picked up a different body, and it crashed again.

Any ideas?

Definitely a fun mission, and big! Not done yet. I feel I have much more to explore.

Little earlier SneakyJack to say best mission of 2009. ;) That should be reserved towards the end of the year when all is said and done. This mission is a start!

A fine mission. Challenging without being abusive. I've already finished (once I start a mission, I have difficulty stopping...for anything), but I think I'll take another crack at it as it seems I missed half (!) the loot.

This problem should be solved during beta, but it seems it isn´t. Which bodies caused the problem? Can you see the bodies when you pick them up or is there nothing?

Downloading now and great screenshots SneakyJack :thumb:

It does the same thing to me to....as soon as I knock out and try to pick up the first guard...crash city. Oh well. Ill try again and just leave him there.

Just trying to let ya know what is going on. BTW...nice mission so far except for the crash. :thumb:

So far anyone else I KO dont make the game crash when I pick up the bodies. Just the very first guard I encounter. (the one to my left after I press the button to open the door.)

I'll keep ya updated if there is any more problems. :)

OK...last update unless I have more trouble. I reloaded another save just before I opened the door with the button and KOed the guy and picked him up W/O the crash....just a fluke I guess.
