    Thief fan missions and campaigns

    For what it's worth, I think I liked Between These Dark Walls and Shadow Politics better than latter Skacky's missions like Chalice of Souls, Sound of a Burrick or Endless Rain. But, as a Thief fm beginner, I'm probably biased toward "simpler" maps. As you say, too much of a good thing...

    Thief fan missions and campaigns

    I'm lucky enough that skimming this thread and reading all your past fms reviews (plus the ratings given on Thief Guild, which are often more than fair) is more than enough to get a good impression of which fms to play and which ones to avoid, so thanks a lot for your work ! I was a bit afraid...

    Thief fan missions and campaigns

    Into the Odd is such a lovely mission, I think it's my favorite videogamey thing of the recent years. Such a good contrast between underground and aboveground sides of the mission, with a really great sense of attention to details and atmosphere. The second dive into darkness (the lockpicks one)...

    Thief fan missions and campaigns

    Okay, got it ! I see that T2fix does it throught T2FMDML, while dml fixes seems to be core in TFix. Tested it with the fmsel version of Thief2X and according to AngelLoader fixes are installed. I need to remember running the patch everytime I install a new buggy FM, and to do the same test with...

    Thief fan missions and campaigns

    Thanks a lot for the link ! Didn't know scripting could get that sensitive (I've been lucky with the fms I've played so far - apparently The Tower was bugged but luckily I kept the noble woman alive), thread looks like a goldmine. ...damn, now I have to check every mission I've downloaded...

    Thief fan missions and campaigns

    Hello fellow purloiners and pilferers, I wanted to ask you a question : should I play Autumn in Lampfire Hills original or remastered ? TG screenshot of the original seems to have more soul, but maybe the remastered version fixed some bugs or something... ? (I'm a tourist who rediscovered Thied...

    Old Monster Hunter vs New Monster Hunter

    MHFU on PSP was my first MH game too - I spent months playing it, even if I wasn't particulary good at it at first (it took several weeks to kill my first Tigrex), and it still my favorite game of the series. I also enjoyed Portable 3rd (loved the ronin outfit), 4G (solid entry), Gen (Ahtal-Ka...

    Book of Hours (Cultist Sim for Newfags and Normies)

    I especially hope AK let go of the grind as a major gameplay mechanics one day. It's criminal to have such a good writing with a gameplay that boring. In the meantime, I finally caved and asked for a copy of The Lady Afterward for Christmas. Can't wait to put my hands on it !

    Six Ages 2: Lights Going Out - Ragnarok comes to Glorantha

    Witnessing old KoDP/RLTW "rules"/gameplay mechanisms failing was probably my favorite part of the game. I will always be a sucker for clever integration of narrative with gameplay. I feel I missed out on the "what to do with old traditions" theme in my playthrought, especially regarding...

    Unity reveals plans to charge developers per game install - plans modified and CEO fired, lol

    Excel is Turing complete. The pertinent criteria when choosing a language is how relevant it is for the task at hand.

    Book of Hours (Cultist Sim for Newfags and Normies)

    That's exactly where I was for 40 hours, and what I meant by "comfy" : there is no sense of progression into an occult world of secrets like there was for CS, but I wanted to keep playing because reading books while cultivating a garden and rehabiliting an old, mysterious mansion is more or less...

    Unity reveals plans to charge developers per game install - plans modified and CEO fired, lol

    I'm a developper, just not a Unity dev (too much self esteem to work in that industry). You make a good point, but it also applies to every programming language and framework I know of. If your education was any good, the best and first skill they taught you is being able to learn new things. I...

    Stop noticing patterns, level of challenge : impossible.

    Unity reveals plans to charge developers per game install - plans modified and CEO fired, lol

    I'm fascinated to see all those indie devs crying over their lost "skills". These people seems structurally unable to learn new languages, new techniques once they have acquired a degree.
