Fan Mission: Thief's Den Re-release by Fidcal(2010/07/04)

Another old but very fun little mission, one I always enjoy replaying, and that it forms a sort of a prelude to the whole Thief's Den series is a nice bonus in itself.

This time I challenged myself to a semi-ghost playthough: no dousing of lights, get all the loot, don't clobberize anyone, and don't get caught! But using inventory items is OK, and no need to put boxes, keys etc back where I found them.

The guard patrols are tight enough to be challenging but regular enough to be predictable with observation, just how it should be.

Even for such an early mission there's good use of ambients and atmospheric sound. And the familiar Bridgeport city skyline, with surrounding buildings!

Finished with 1189/1189 loot and a stealth score of 2. I didn't make the two guards inside so much as murmur so it must have been

Spoiler

when I used a broadhead to knock the gold vase off the windowsill. I waited until the watchman was around the corner and the patrolling thug was inside, but anyway.

 

If this mission ever requires an update, there is a Z-fighting ceiling beam: the one furthest to your right when you climb up the ladder to the attic. I think that whole beam has been duplicated.

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).
