[Fan Mission: Crown of Penitence by Jesps (2009/10/17)]

Finished this right now. Short and sweet, I just *love* robbery missions.

 

A few things:

 

The safe cannot be closed, so apparently the alarm will always be "called". Does it affect my Stealth Score at all? I ended up knocking the guy unconscious just to prevent that. Either way I was going to lose my ghost, so I choose the most silent method.

 

The beginning seriously scared me. When I opened the door to the cellar I found 2 servants and a guard all looking toward me. I thought, what the hell, if this is the beginning this mission is going to be a nightmare!! So I also knocked down the first servant. Now that I know how the mission plays, I wouldn't do that again, but still.

 

 

I ended up finding all the loot after the first successful complete. This never happened to me before! I'm kinda happy about it.

 

Still, I regret knocking down that servant...

Just played this mission, great fun. I appreciate the (relative) complexity in the lights + guards pattern, this is indeed a mission that someone that is familiar with ghosting thought for fellow ghosters.

 

I ended up with a stealth score of 10, in a hurried re-play this afternoon. Saved three times, never reloaded - could do better but don't have too much free time those days.

 

As others said the only "choke point" for me was the initial passage from the kitchen to the main mansion - after that, everything was trivial until the infamous "crown swap". Tried that one for the first time, so I saved before - went smooth at first try.

 

Two questions:

-if I use a Noisemaker, does it affects my stealth score?

-if the guards see the missing crown or a badly placed fake one, does this affects my stealth score?

 

Thanks, and GREAT work! Have you created any other FM's for either Dark Mod or Thief 2?
