Underated Missions


The Dark One

Recommended Posts

As the title says, what are your personal underrated Dark Mod (and Thief fan missions in general if you want) missions? Missions that are good/great/fun that never got a lot of attention or have otherwise faded away, in essence.

 

Personally, I'll give a nod to Briarwood Cathedral by buck28. Not the best mission, and some of your goals can be obtuse, but it somehow hit this vein of pure *fun* that I can't articulate well. The same with his first mission, Lockton Manor.

 

I'll also give a nod to Lords and Legacy by Kvorning. A fun, complex city/mansion mission that the author dropped on us all and then vanished without a trace. It's very fun and I'm tempted to give it another go one of these days, and it's a shame that I don't see it mentioned more often.

Because in mystery novels, the first suspect is almost certainly never the murderer. No matter how much unmovable evidence there is, it will all be smashed in pieces by the wrath of the remaining number of pages of the story.

Good question... as far as i'm concerned, most of the good missions are also well known. As you mentioned Lords & Legacy, that was a good one. I don't have the feeling that it went under the radar, though.

 

Maybe some of the more unusual missions, like The Gatehouse, or A House of Locked Secrets. Those were really excellent, and, would be a shame if people pass on those, just because they're not the regular menu.

You have a point, it helps that there's less missions in The Dark mod so it's harder for missions to slip under the radar. I mainly brought up Lords and Legacy since I don't see it talked about much at all, as opposed to something like Requiem, which I still see brought up. Unusual missions might slip under as well.

      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).

      Well then, it's been about a week since I released my first FM and I must say that I was very pleasantly surprised by its reception. I had expected half as much interest in my short little FM as I received and even less when it came to positive feedback, but I am glad that the aspects of my mission that I put the most heart into were often the most appreciated. It was also delightful to read plenty of honest criticism and helpful feedback, as I've already been given plenty of useful pointers on improving my brushwork, level design, and gameplay difficulty.
      I've gotten back into the groove of chipping away at my reading and game list, as well as the endless FM catalogue here, but I may very well try my hand at the 15th anniversary contest should it materialize. That is assuming my eyes are ready for a few more months of Dark Radiant's bright interface while burning the midnight oil, of course!
