Perhaps I'm doing things in the "wrong" order. :cheeky:

Anyway, I found a sword. Actually I found two. Ouch! :nono:

I found poor Nils but not his key. And there's a shop I haven't gotten into yet, the Clockmaker. Got almost all of the objectives done, though. And now I have lots of Holy Water. I think I'll take another cruise through the streets and look for plague victims.

This is so much fun.

Edit....Uh, oh. I wasn't sure where I would find a fourth plague victim, but I was certain I knew where three were: Basso's neighbour upstairs, the man standing down near the canal where there's a secret, and the woman in the doctor's house. The woman has gotten out, and I think the guards outside killed her. I saw a few more behind barred doors as I went through the level, but later I found them all lying dead in the streets. Now I don't know where I'll find two more.

Take a look at the Police Station, go up, where the archer is and explore the roof nearby.

BTW, be careful with the plagued, also on Night Two. If too many of them die, then the mission will fail. :sweat: I reccomend to save often, in a different slot. :)

Hi Lady Rowena,

I just wanted to say that in my german version of Thief II, Seven Sisters crashes to desktop with the "thief2.exe had to be closed" message at the point when there are those green pagan monsters with scissorhands (looks like it). Maybe it's because of missing sound files or so, I just wanted to say/ask that so maybe someone who has experienced this problem, too can say me what caused this. It also only happened only twice, but, as I said, only when I came to the area with those pagan monsters. But now, let me say this: The Seven Sisters is by far the best city mission I played because it's so immersive, all is full circle. Keep up this work, it is fascinating, the details, the writing (which is not so long, I hate long readables ;-) ), the athmosphere and all the different characters! Everyone has a name, it's so realistic and one can feel that you put a lot of effort and heart in this mission. What are you working on right now, by the way? I hope it's a city mission, I love them, the setting with the infected people gave it a special flavour, I usually don't enjoy undead missions that much, but in this case, it is so limited that even I don't mind about it, just the perfect mix! I hope it contains a big and open-world city like in Seven Sisters with all the details. The splitting into nights, in my opinion, rocked it all because of the areas becoming accessable with each night. You are curious about what's behind that door or in this tower, you'll find it out next night! It stretches gameplay and makes the Thief-fan happy because he can listen to new dialogues, see changes and things that are different and knock out more guards ;-) The only thing I didn't like was that some buildings were NEVER accessable which made it a bit unrealistic because all others were. Also, I would have done it other way with the doors accessable in night one but not in night two so that you can't pick them with the lockpick anymore instead of disabling the frob highlight, so that every door which is/was accessable, whether in night 1 or 2, would be frobabble in any of the two nights. But nevertheless, this missions are gorgeous! Thank you for making this masterpiece, keep up the good work :thumb: . By the way, it is awesome that an engine which is 10 years old is still active and kept alive by projects such as DDfix and I also hope that the open source projects are succesful so the opendarkengine can be improved with bump mapping, etc.
I hope I'm not in the wrong thread for striking out so much, but I wanted to share my thoughts with you, community, who keep this great game living and updated, thank you all.

Thanks,
Hang

Well, you already saw my "top o' the world" pics from Night 1 posted under Night 2...hehe...don't have any more of those to add really, but I have several questions:

Concerning the pair of very pretty and elaborate windows located at one end of the Archway Walk: Are/were these accessible (rather I should say frobbable) in Night 1? With a reachable room holding the one and the same oroborus?

Also, I was never able to make use or sense of the two frobbable dolls (red and blue) in Rowena's bedroom. Were we supposed to apply any "placeable" objects to those dolls or something? Don't think those rooms were reachable in Night 2. Boy, won't those parents be glad they gave birth to that child when they hear where she's a-run off to and done...! :)

And: Anything useful up on that balcony between the Mech Compound and the Mayor's House? I suppose that's true for both nights 1 & 2...

Thanks, and what a blast to play, 'twas! :thumb:

Nothing Freudian there... :) I think you know whose room I meant, anyway; she had such a black heart...

Nope, not me, didn't get up to those windows (Night 1), and hardly even noticed them as a potential climbing place. Only went back to get the loot from there (Night 2) after reading in the threads that there was something to be gained there. Heck, I got in the window at the other end of Archway Walk, and didn't even think to go to the end we speak of... :wot:

Well, for the balcony: Hearken back to the pictures I posted, and you see a shot of the square where the Mech Compound and Mayor's House are -- Garrett's standing on the roof of the building that contains the balcony, which doesn't jut out or anything, just flush... I suppose he could hardly fit in there without crouching. Too bad you didn't distribute tons of frobbable crates all over the town... :joke:

Yup, done with the entire mission...fab!
