Ah, yes. Thanks. That ought to do it, Night. Thank you yet again.

Wow.
I finished.
That's how it ends?
I must be missing something. I run up to the gate and it ends? After all that?
It's a mission which has new ideas, and those new ideas are without parallel. But that ending stopped so short my teeth almost came out of my mouth. Only complaint, though, on a really cool mission. Must've taken forever to build all the other specialties into it. Perhaps the creator just got tired and put out the mission.
Thanks for the game!

Theef-
You should see an endgame cinematic, although sometimes they don't work. That or, you downloaded the no movies version. If you did get the movie version, just unzip the inverted manse zip file (don't extract it, just look in the file), and watch the movie CS18.AVI.

in the final cutscene in Inverted Manse it seems like there will be a follow up mission,
the way Garrett talks.
Is this correct and if so, is that mission out already?

I doubt if we'll ever see it. Sledge was hired by Ion Storm and is currently working on Thief 3, so I wouldn't think he'd have time. It would be nice, though, wouldn't it? :)

apologies if all this has been asked, but ive got to go to work soon...
i was a thief 2 fan and im new to the FMs. inverted manse looked cool so ive down loaded.
the zombies seem easy to kill but can i kill the skeletal blokes? some have maces, some swords.
are these haunts?
im playing cutpurse and ive ended up on the 3rd(i think) floor of some roundish building, and ive sneaked behind a haunt(?) and in a room with a parchment and a book on a pedestal. the other doors locked and i didnt find any other way forward before this bit. theres a door in the basement but it was locked. any ideas on where i should go?
any recomendations for a kinda house/bank break-in FM? has anyone else developed new weapons like sledge?
again, sorry for my ignorence. and thx to sledge for what seems to be an outstanding piece of work. im glad his efforts have not gone unrewarded.

Welcome to the forum, Halloween Jack! You picked a good mission to start with, but you've got loads of fun ahead of you with the other missions.
You can kill the skeletal looking guys (haunts) in several different ways. You can use some of the "special" arrows in this mission, like the explosive one, for example. The easiest way is to backstab them with your sword. It's a little tricky with it lighting up, but if you time it right, you can do it. In other missions, you can kill them with flash bombs, holy water, fire arrows or in regular combat, but that's really difficult because they're so quick.
As for where you're stuck, you need to post which difficulty level you are playing on. This mission changes a great deal on each setting, so it's hard to know what you're missing. If you're on the easiest setting, which it sounds like you might be, you need to find the "church" key in one of the offices in the factory, then go back to the church, upstairs and unlock a door you couldn't get into before. In there you'll find the factory basement key, I believe.
If that's not what the problem is just post your difficulty level and maybe a few more details and someone will try to help. :)
As for other missions, there are tons that fit your description. My favourite is "The Art of Thievery", which entails breaking into a huge mansion that is absolutely gorgeous. You could also try Saturio Returns and Sammy Pays his Dues. They're both mainly mansion missions. Have fun!

thx nightwalker, ill download "the art of thievery" when i leave, it sounds good.
im playing the cutpurse level (is that the right word? its the 1st level). sounds like i missed the factory, didnt find another entrance, ill have another go.
the FMs sound good, its good to be playing thief again.
thx again mate,
quiz you later...
Nightwalker on 19/3/2002 at 17:36
I have a better idea of where you are now, I think. It sounds like you're still in the church. You need to go and keep looking for the factory, like you said. When you locate the church key, come back to the locked door you found in the church. :)
