    Okay, it's been mentioned time and time again on various Thief threads and boards that DarkLoader is outdated.

    It blows my mind how many people still think it's a good idea to use Darkloader.

    Use AngelLoader. It can even import your Darkloader data so you won't lose any of your comments and finished-checkmarks.

    The reason a few of the missions in the contest aren't seen by Darkloader is because they were released in .7z format, which the ancient and decrepit Darkloader does not recognize. Any of the modern loaders - FMSel, AngelLoader or NewDarkLoader - will recognize and install them just fine.

    Along these lines, some of us are planning to start promoting a forced obsolescence of Darkloader by urging authors to release all future missions as .7z files.

    Also, FMSel is the only sane way to play FMs on your Steam install and be able to take screenshots and track played time, as it's the same .exe.

    Finished The Ritual, an old T2 mission from 2000.

    Quite good, but frustrating at times, especially when it reminds you of why escort missions is cancer.

    Nice tomb robbing and puzzles, and it was fun to watch some big fights between bad guys and city guards or between bad guys and hammerites. Make sure you leave the door to the chapel open on your way down to the catacombs. It makes the return more fun.

    Completed Embrace the Enemy, another old T2 mission.

    Very good heist mission, with many scripted sequences and good use of the Z axis.
    I liked the use of moonlight to make sneaking outdoors harder.
    Quite unlinear for a supposedly linear mission. IOW you can break it if you try.
    Variably quality of the voice acting.
    AI was a bit wonky; guards would suddenly be in alert mode when reloading.
