Is it impossible to perfectly ghost this mission? It seems to me that there's one guard who you have to sneak by in full light,

 

I didn't have any issues on my playthrough ghosting. I think I got a stealth score of 13. Yes some guards were difficult to pass but which one are you referring to?

Penny Dreadful is a fan mission series dealing with the exploits and misfortunes of Gerald Foxley, lowlife and common opportunist. To stick with the theme of lurid and disreputable pulp literature, th

Hey hey!   Finally got around some TDM playing time.   In short: this is a great mission. Very nice geometry. Interesting and merciful AI placement. We have learned from Dishonored, I see. I really li

That's very interesting. I looked at the situation with the room fully lit and the guard standing right in front of the door I needed to get through and decided, "nope, that's not going to work", and put the light out without much further thought. You're saying the poor guy has such tunnel vision that I can creep right up beside him in full light without me seeing?! I'll have to try... I'm pretty sure he never moves.

 

 

He's quite late on, guarding the doorway to the corridor which leads to the room with both our targets standing in front of each other in front of a fireplace. In front of him is a staircase leading up to a small group of rooms (including those nice rafters where you can get into one locked room). I can't see any way I'd be able to get up that staircase in full light, but I need to go back to that room again and take a more careful look.

I don't think that this was supposed to happen

Playing on expert with alert etc set to challenging

 

I entered the jail using the key and must have alerted the guard who wasn't wearing a helmet so the other guard ran past shouting I will help you and then they started fighting - and the guard with the helmet was killed

How does one confirm it is a TDM bug

Unfortunately I didn't keep the save game

Thinking about it the guard without the helmet was outside the cell with the prisoner in it when he heard me opening the door and the only thing he could see was the prisoner. Could it be that he tried to attack the prisoner and the other guard who ran in to help hit him by mistake then starting the fight

Would changing the cell door from solid to barred have caused the problem as the sound of the door opening could have appeared to come from the cell

I am stuck

Completed all the objectives on expert including the optional loot and also have the bailiff's journal but have no idea where to find the information about the grail

 

You will have walked straight by it when you completed the primary objective(s).

Hope that's helpful enough!

The armoury key:

 

it is hanging in the armoury window on Normal and Hard, and it is not available on Expert. All you are missing is some extra equipment.

Did you attempt to distract him?

If you want to get to the staircase, you should be able to hug the left side of the room and clamber across the pile of stuff that's there without being noticed - even with the light, IIRC. If you want to get into the room he's guarding... look for an alternate route.

There is only one alternate route that I know of.

 

But then Mr. Premier is a taffer, so who knows.

Isn't that a ghosting fail? Certainly it's an alert, anyhow, and for me it's as bad as putting out a light, so no, didn't try distraction.

 

I don't want to get in to a ghost discussion with you because I take the term pretty lightly. For me its, "They didn't see me" coupled with, "I didn't knock any of them out". So in essense, they never knew I was there. Castles have all kinds of odd sounds, wind blowing out torches, etc. so that is a bit strict for even my German upbringing. :)

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?
