If you must, delete the snd/mus/ folder. That will also eliminate all the music during the intros and cutscenes. The music was all very carefully selected to coincide with the story and scenes, though, so I would humbly submit that you won't enjoy this nearly as much without it, even if you usually don't like music in a FM.

Thank you very much for creating this mission! It was a pleasure to complete (slowly in order to savour it).
In addition to everything else which has been pointed out: cutscenes, polished and well balanced graphics, long/dark story, careful map design, voice acting, background music, outstanding read-ables ..... there is something else I loved about this mission: the snow.
One thing that makes thief so immersive and mysterious and tense is the fact that almost everything happens at night, often in dark or in shadow.
In your missions, you added another element: snow, which gives me a warm, cozy feeling especially this time of year.
The snow inspired me to make some screenshots.
I wont show a screen shot of "The Ritual" (possibly the best scene ever in a Thief FM) because I dont want to spoil it for anyone.
But here's some outdoor screenshots including snow.

What a wonderful campaign! Thank you so much, Yandros.
I am constantly amazed by the quality -- and fun -- of the fan missions. My friends (and kids!) are always asking me what games I'm playing. They snicker when I say Thief 2 FMs. If they only knew what they were missing!
Kudos again.

It's was very funny to stumble upon cross references like Deckard Cain, or the hammerite guard's manual for "Proper Speech" - I had to laugh very loud at that one. Who knows into what else I'll run during my current, comprehensive play. A "Ready to serve, my lord" or "Your soundcard works perfectly" hidden gem, perhaps?

Thanks everyone for all the comments. It means a lot!
There are plenty of things in this which are references, although not many which will be as broadly known as the Diablo ones. In fact little in the project was actually made up. There is a document I need to finish and publish which goes into detail about where most of the names came from, and little "did you notice?" things throughout the campaign, as well as explanations for some things that you may have missed unless you've played it multiple times and connected all the dots.
