[Fan Mission: Volta and the Stone by Kingsal (05/26/2016) V1.3]

Great mission! It took me almost 3 hours to finish. Wandered around trying to find all the loot etc, but was still 400 shy and found only 1 secret. All the small details worked very well and the story was easy to follow.

What I especially liked compared to other missions was that the layout was realistic and with my very poor orienteering skills I never got lost and could actually plan my navigation around the map.

Regarding the end part of map.

Spoiler

As some already mentioned, I was also a bit disappointed that in the very end there was no big fight against some monster, but one could just walk out of the tower.

One loot that can't be picked up:

Spoiler

The bag in the mailbox. I was even able to get it out of the maibox with some item on my hand, but still when it was on the floor couldn't pick it up.

I already started the next Volta and I'm hoping it proves to be on the same level!

Great mission!

I liked that the mission took place in rather compact area. Amount of running around wasn't that big and distances were small. The mission itself was long, it took me 2 h 45 minutes to finish. I had troubles in few occasions and and it took me quite a long time to figure out how to proceed. I also 99 % ghosted it which makes it always a bit slower.

Spoiler

After playing for a while got stuck. Hadn't found either of the numeric codes for locks, nor found the key that was carried by the guy reading the book in the candle light outside. I also somehow missed the entrance to cellar. Missed one of the windows totally until like fifth time going around the mansion and trying out all of them one by one...

All in all the puzzles were good and with bit more patience I could have solved them myself without having the need to use walkthoughs/tips.

Spoiler

I found the rope arrow from attic right in the end of mission (stumbled across in youtube walkthrough video) so wasn't able to use it for anything real. Might come handy if I play the mission again some day.

I had few glitches/jams. I tried to kill spiders by opening the hatch but they never dropped there, just floated in the air. Something wrong there.

I also got stuck few times. Not sure if it is a habit of reporting these incidents but I'll anyways do it here.

1) Garbage dumpster. I jumped inside and got stuck every time.

Spoiler

The one where you are supposed to take of of the bad guys

2) One of the rooms in 2 or 3 floor. I think it was some sort of quarter for soldiers. I jumped on the upper bed, opened window and tried to go outside. Got stuck between window/bed

3) The rock right to the dumpster mentioned earlier. I was just running over the rock and got stuck. Didn't try it again so not sure if it happens every time.

Good mission, quite different from the others. I too felt that some of the places were too spacious (manor especially) but generally this was very enjoyable mission. It was hard, but not too hard on hardest difficulty. I actually didn't use almost any equipment, since I was afraid I would run out of something.  I played this mission in about 1 month time span (took 4 hours in total), so I had some issues remembering all the details and tips. Needed to use walk through in two occasions,

 

Spoiler

one of the keys in bank and the case with 3 stone things that you were supposed to rotate around to get the door open. Was there some clue how those should be placed? I either didn't find it or forgot it totally.

I got stuck several times but can't remember the places, sorry. I use quick save often, so for me it wasn't a problem.

I'm waiting for the next mission anxiously!
