Just finished on hard:
+ nice Rowena homage/music
+ great idea of having multiple gears/items to build from in m1 instead of having to hunt down one specific
+ overall great guiding/helplines, like in the "labyrinth" or hinting at hidden switches
+ overall very good flow, only time I got stuck was before Cavalls quarters. Perhaps it was me but Arielle's writing was kinda misleading, making me believe Cavall was carrying his key with himself, so I tried to climb to him/search the area around the spear way too often. If anyone else has the problem finding the key:
[SPOILER]climb the huge crates :p[/SPOILER]
- I did not like the music in the mouth, also I don't get if going down the floating steps was supposed to be a puzzle or not, I just went down and everything fit.
+++ LOVED the [SPOILER]Dewdrop "shrine"[/SPOILER] - probably my favorite easteregg, absolutely fantastic :D *sings*
Btw.: Cavall really needs to work on his negotiating skills, telling Garrett that he never has to go on the thieve's highway out again *Heavens no! :eek:* and calling him a pitiful little thief - *I traveled dimensions and defeated gods you douche! :grr: Down the well it goes*.
-> So all in all great set of missions, thank you very much :D

Me too, that was the only part I found myself wandering around aimlessly.
I'd already been in the sealed off area and didn't associate it with Cavall, but with old Hammerite spooks, as was noted in a couple of texts.And I also didn't like the mouth music and couldn't work out what was going on (and I always find those kind of steps very stressful :eek:) so I flew down in Dromed and looked around.nightshifter on 29/9/2016 at 07:25
yeah, the stepps:rolleyes:
believe me, I never intended that to be a puzzle. From when I first played thief I was fascinated by those stepps in "lost space" ( I think in T1, getting the sword?? )
I just wanted the player to have that same " oops, carefull" feelling there.
But to my suprise a lot of my testers were complaining they get lost there ( and believe me, I was blessed to have the best testers aboard:cool:)
so we placed the plaque next to the gate ( thanks ffox and smithpd!) and I decided to place the music there. ( I didn't really like that music there too, that is. I do love "take 6" but it was a bit out of place)
but it was a too good hint that one had to take only 7 steps;)

so I'm done everything in the 1st mission, except the hidden loot in the guarded area objective. I looked all over the catacombs, even found the Horn, but that's it...
Azaran on 1/10/2016 at 17:44
Thanks! Is there a way of actually getting the loot? I can't find a switch to open the iron bars
nightshifter on 1/10/2016 at 18:30
no. you can't reach it....yet
but you did need to see it to make a certain choice in part 2:D
Azaran on 1/10/2016 at 19:45
Alright, thanks!

Just got around to playing this one last night-well done. Good story and I love the dark Mechansit/Art Deco/Lost City imagery! :thumb:
