Looking good so far

Looking forward to it, thanks for the screens!

The circle's frontpage was updated recently with a review by myself and inside that review are links to every fan mission released thus far with reviews and screens. The fan mission discussion megathread in the TTLG forums will have a new review with screens of each mission as it is released posted by myself and others. I don't navigate outside the fan mission forum on TTLG so I can't agree or disagree with your opinion of the people there. I do know that the Dark Mod has been covered extensively in the previously mentioned megathread - I know because I posted them myself, haha. So TTLG isnt as far behind on coverage as it may seem due to the frontpage not being updated - the fan mission forum has been buzzing with threads for the missions and discussion in our fan mission discussion thread aplenty. I see great things for TDM - at least I'm hoping.

I'm really a huge fan of difficulty levels being different in ways. I think it would be brilliant to have things like combat be much easier and frontal blackjacking on the 'normal' difficulty to satisfy players like myself and then when you ramp up the difficulty to hard and expert start removing ways to make things easier to give a much better challenge to ghosters and the hardcore. I'm sure this has been thought of and dismissed by this point already, but it would be an excellent way to make everyone have a pleasant experience with TDM. I'm definitely in support of TDM and like those who have worked on it, I just want to see it find the widest audience possible without needing to water down the experience, and I think that would be a great compromise if it is possible. Not all of us are "hide in the shadows for 10 minutes scouting the route of every guard" type players, as much as we'd like to be there sometimes just isnt time to be hardcore.

What a horrible troll attempt this was. Edit: Ahh, a grumpy member with a new name - that explains it.

- Operating System Windows Vista 64 Bit - CPU Quad Core 2.5 Ghz AMD Phenom 9850 Black Edition - System RAM 4 GB DDR2 - Video Card Radeon HD 4850 1 GB - Video Drivers Catalyst 9.10 - Experienced Performance Performance for the most part was great - the only problems I had were CTD's when playing the training mission (moving from the area with all the objects on the table into the room that had the trophy on the pillar you had to knock off with stones) and with one fan mission in particular - I cant remember what mission it was but I remember it crashing every time I entered a certain room. After extensively playing all the fan missions released for TDM Beta thus far - those were the only two crashes I had. I read somewhere on this forum that it was an ATI driver related problem, and sure enough after moving from the previous version to 9.10 my problems were solved and no more crashes.

Definitely! I've reviewed many (probably in the hundreds by now) fan missions for Thief 2 (And Soon Thief 1 and Gold) and also for every Dark Mod mission up to this point, and I'll continue to do so into the foreseeable future. Thank you for the kind words! There is an index on the first page of that review thread at TTLG that shows how many myself and others from that community have covered thus far - you are all more than welcome to add your own Thief or Darkmod reviews there. The more the merrier, as they say.

Thanks for the mention! You can visit the link posted above or you can find the main review (complete with logo and pictures) on the TTLG forums here. Individual mission reviews (with screens): The Outpost The Chalice Of Kings The Crown Of Penitence Patently Dangerous The Thieves Too Late The Parcel Trapped! Living Expenses Sons Of Baltona Return To The City Business As Usual I'll be adding reviews and screens of each mission as they are released to the review thread at TTLG, and I can post links to those reviews in this thread as well as long as no one minds. Great stuff coming from The Dark Mod thus far, and I'm very much looking forward to the future!
