I have recently replayed this short fan campaign. These missions are great! Thanks for adding subtitles to important dialogues, it was helpful for understanding the plot. Also the custom textures in the catacombs and in the Mechanist Temple were beautiful. I really liked the art gallery in the first mission. In my opinion, the first mission was better than the second. The second mission had a great touch of the Lost City, but had several too dark sections. The Style of the second mission changed rapidly after entering the mine. From then on it was a surreal/pizarre maze mission. I wasn´t bad at all, but confusing. Just stick to one concept. :angel:
In the end, Garrett was given a choice. I really liked this!
I literally wrecked the world, but took the gold and lived happily ever after. Maybe Garrett was forced to eat these spiders in the treasury to fight against the beginning starvation... :ebil:

I have to say that I disagree with this. The design principle of this mission pack is no different from any Thief campaign, or any other FPS game for that matter. What would T1 be without the Maw of Chaos and T2 without Soulforge? Different atmospheres for different parts of the story.

Congrats Nightshifter! I love this one so far, about 60% through.

This is embarrassing, but somehow I've missed the beads, and finding High Priestess Arielle for the key of Oriduin. Any ideas?
NV: I found both switches for the key & beads. I have also opened the Mouth of Odinruin, but what do I do there? I have tried the rosary beads as well as tossed out the spear of destiny, but nothing happens. I can fall to my death over and over but nothing happens. All objectives are done!

That gate you opened isn't the mouth of orodruin;)
It is the way to the mouth. (There is act. Hanging a picture of the mouth of orodruin on the wall in Arielles room;))
There is a readable and music hinting you what to do there.
you have to hop down 7 steps, keeping as much to the middle as possible. After the 7th step, turn around and you will see the way to go

Several items or places I cannot seem to locate...
* I have found the mentalist's office, but I have no idea where his private chambers are.
*
* I found the secret switch in Flynn's office (the head librarian), but not the other one; if it's in the mentalist's chambers, that might be why I can't find it :confused: . However, I cannot even find what the switch is supposed to do!
*
* I got into the penthouse very early in the game; I scaled the tower and just walked right in. Did I break the game?

the mentalist private chamers are one floor up from his office, you can take the elevator up
the secret switch in the librarians office: there is a readable in this office lying on his desk ( from the mentalist) using both switches will open the secret passage to their secret temple. the other switch is located somewhere in the librarymore spoiler:
in the prison area, there is a room with bunkbeds, there is a readable with a picture instructing the workers wich switch has to be rewired.outright spoiler:
it is the lightswitch next to the door leading from the library to the kitchen on the same floor. the lightswitch will get "rewired" when you used the switch in the librarians office, so it won't switch the light anymore but controls the secret door. I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean by " I scaled the tower and justwalked in" but getting to the penthouse early doesn't matter.
what happens there is that you will get your final objective, what to do once you completed all the other objectives
