Hi, great FM so far! I was really impressed by the first half of it, very cool exploration based gameplay![SPOILER]The head of the hammerite priest that chases you around had me dieing laughing, I can't believe no one mentioned it so far! HAHA, hilarious![/SPOILER]
Anyway, I'm on the second mission now. I just talked to that guy outside (after the room heavily guarded by turrets) and now I'm wondering around in the futuristic building. I cleared out the storage rooms of everything that was valuable...searched everywhere..still walking in the guest rooms does nothing! What am I missing that will allow it to go to Day 2!? Any help would be appreciated, as I'm really enjoying these FMs.

Just finished on Expert, the night before I get Thief III (all hail our local Fry's who's advertised having it in tomorrow morning, and on sale!)!
The only question I have for Belboz:
[SPOILER]Is there a way to not die at the end? I removed the curse, then fell onto the ice. The first time, I survived the fall but the objective didn't tick off until fell down the second shaft and I received a skull and crossbones instead of a mission completed. The second time (I reloaded), I died in the first fall, but this time I received mission completed at the end.[/SPOILER]
Not a huge deal, just curious :)
I just adored the story here, and I'm usually not a fan of the undead unless I have a super holy sword that lets me squish the zombies. My husband always knows because I'm constantly muttering, "stupid zombies." :)
The only thing that became wearisome was the huge amount of running back and forth in the second mission, but it was worth it for the story.
Oh - just in case this is a bug - I never got the messages about Garrett being sleepy..
One other note:
[SPOILER]If you're a doofus-head like me, you'll charge up the crystals and forget that you need to take 'em with you. Happily, I'd saved just before going through the teleporter! I don't know if it's possible to prevent the player from going through without the charged up crystals in his or her inventory, but it's something you might consider as it's a one way street![/SPOILER]
Thank you again!

[SPOILER]Have you been to the power room? If so, have you been down the hall with the combat 'bot?[/SPOILER]

Thanks for the help! [SPOILER]I was hoping I didn't have to go back through that turret room...ah well.[/SPOILER]

TheMike - [SPOILER] You should have been able to shut the turrets off by now so going back through isn't a problem [/SPOILER]
I finished the second mission, with a few nudges from the posts here. Thanks for these marvellous missions, Belboz! Of the two, I enjoyed the first one the most but the second one was fun too. There was a bit too much running back and forth through long corridors, but other than that, it was great. I think I'll play the second one again before I move on to anything else. :)

I'll have to get down to playing this! I'm slightly puzzled though, I seem to remember that you gave up work on this series of missions at some point, Belboz; after a hard drive failure or something? Was that someone else or have you made a timely return? In a way it doesn't matter though, I'm very glad you're back with what is without doubt going to be another fun mission.

What a mission, what a gameplay, what a wicked imagination you have. How do you sleep nights?
You mentioned in your briefing that this would be a dark mission, and it is!! I had to go buy a darkblue blackout curtain to be able to play this during the day.
What I do like the most is your map. It's awesome. For once a map I can use for directions. Way to go Belboz.

I seem to be missing the air key..
I've got three plaques where they belong, just to give a pointer as to where I've been and what I've done so far :sweat:
Looks like I'm the only one that's missing this part, as I haven't found any other posting regarding missing air keys :weird:

(slightly off-topic) B*stard teases. Husband went down to the Fry's only to be informed that the product had delayed delivery for a week. I *knew* it was too good to be true! :weird:
Cheers!
