I visited "Schwarzwald" ("Black forest"), a region in the South-West of Germany,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Forest
And found some nice places for you, for some inspiration:

baden-baden - kurpark and trinkkalle:

Karls ruhe

Rasstat - the pink mansion

Strasbourg - Petite France, France

1211_Zaandam_004.JPGPeople posted some nice houses in this topic.

It seems that we in the Netherlands, can stack up old-dutch-traditional-houses

I always wished for a Thief 2 fan mission campaign which takes place after the original one. With a resurrected Karras by blood magic. A more creepy story featuring a combination of undead steampunk enemies.

Since this did never happen, I would be also happy with a few more thief 2 mechanist-like units in TDM, so please take this inspirational picture. 😁 I always loved the interesting gameplay mechanics that were introduced with Karras' units. I know that new NPCs are always unlikely to happen, since it's modeling, rigging, animating, sound,... I know, I know - but never say never. Hopefully there's another Karras enthusiast out there seeing this and starting to work on humanoid robots for The Dark Mod 😅

I always wondered about Karras's helmet in T2. Is there an in-game explanation for why it has such an elongated cranium? Is he supposed to be a mutant with a big brain, or is it just hubris? Did he steal his helmet from the "Precursors" of the Lost City and it serves as an oblique reference to skull-binding practiced in several real life ancient cultures?

Sorry if this is off-topic.

Tbh for me it always felt like a design decision with not too much of an afterthought. I really like your way of thinking - that it was some kind of artifact or replica of the precursors. That's really interesting and blew my mind while reading. I wish there were more information about this!

There are a lot of text2image tools, but this one is a step away, it's text to 3D image

Nice page which may serve as inspiration of new maps. It's a historic World Atlas, which shows the istoric aspects of the different countries and cities

      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).
