"The Over Warden and Councilor Mercier have been abusing their power in the Baron's absence. They've tipped the balance, and by attacking the Keepers have threatened the only ones who can maintain it. I'm sure nobody would shed any tears if they were to ... have an accident. The Over Warden is meeting with Mercier at the Baron's castle estate. Getting in might be a challenge ... the castle was built to resist entire armies. Then again, maybe that's its weakness; I'm not exactly an army. It's easier for one person to sneak in than hundreds. All it takes is an open window, or a secret passage ... or a drainage system. Everyone thinks I'm dead, so that gives me an advantage, provided I'm not caught before finishing the job."

Known bugs: The courier sometimes stops following his route if it is being used by other AI. Hit him with a water arrow (being very careful that he doesn't see you) to make him resume or reload and try again.

Downloading...So happy!
Hmm, this mission started out looking nice, except for the limit on knockouts on all difficulty levels. Personally i hate that. Please make it optional on lower difficulties or not there at all.
But there are huge problems with the whole follow the courier sequence. To start with the courier won't even come out of the room he starts in. After a save/load he came out of the room, picked up the information and then just stood there! Again a save/load got him restarted. Then coming down the staircase he gets stuck on the door frame. This time it take several save/loads to get him going in the right direction.
Then everything goes smoothly until he opens a secret door that has no mechanism to be seen, so unless i'm all up in his a.. i'm locked out. Well another save/load and i manage to slip through the secret door after him.
Now comes the real major problem. Once he opens the door at the top of the stairs, with me still on the stairs, all hell breaks loose! I hear shouts like 'He's dead' and stuff like that and everyone in the room goes on high alert! Which off course means that the objective to follow the courier fails and i'm screwed.
I have tried this about 10 times now, starting from a save just before i deliver the information and ring the bell for the courier. Every time it fails. Oh and i haven't killed or knocked out a single person in the Baron's Estate.
So what am i supposed to do now? I don't really won't to start the entire Baron's Estate part over from scratch not knowing if it will actually change anything.
Did the courier objective actually fail when all hell broke loose? It should have been completed after he entered the secret room. If so, you've found a bug that didn't show up in Beta testing and I need more information.
The secret room is cannot be opened until the courier opens it, otherwise you could just rush into the Estate, kill Mercier and the Over-Warden and rush back out. Not much of a game. However, once the courier opens the door the first time, there is a button to open it in a cupboard in the throne room.
When Judith wrote that part 4 will come soon I never expected it to be so soon !!!!
@Elusive
Are you using the right version of T3Main.exe? you will have weird issue with T3 FM's if you using the one that came with the game. You need to use the one that comes with Garretloader.
Yes the courier objective fails. I'm standing on the staircase and can hear the courier enter the room and close the door behind him. Then the shouting starts and shortly after the objective fails. Sometimes the courier comes running out of the room together with a guard or two.Originally Posted by nomad of the pacific
Fair enough about the secret door, it was just easier to reload
It sounds like an objective problem, then. Please confirm that you're using the right T3Main.exe as edudrekib suggested. Also, you might want to hide in the hall and watch the courier deliver the note. It's fun watching the reaction of the Over-Warden.
Honestly i can't remember. I keep a backup copy of the entire Thief 3 + GarrettLoader directory and after a reinstall i just overwrite the entire installed directories with the backups to ensure that everything works. And i haven't had any weird issues with other missions and i have played them all so i would presume that it's the correct T3Main.exe.
Do your objectives show up properly? Are other objectives getting completed? I'll look at my scripts to see if it could be a timing issue, but that shouldn't be a problem. What are your system specs?
Another thought, when all hell breaks loose, does a message flash on the screen?

hint where is the Sargent of the guard so I can open the cells...
Biker he is patrolling down in dungeon
Nomad! The final installment was FANTASTIC!!
He's the one with the fancy uniform.
I'm glad you enjoyed it, plw.
heh, i wasnt able to tell thay all looked the same to me...
On a different note I didnt manage to find the Baron's secret room or find the holy relic the builder had hidden - was it in the crypt, if so how do i get in there..
Yes the objectives show up properly and other objectives are getting completed just fine.
System specs:
Core I7 940 2,93 GHz
6 GB RAM
NVidia GTX280 with 266.58 drivers
Vista 64-bit
Thief3 and Garrettloader installed into folders under C:\Games
No messages flash on the screen until the Objective failed message.
"When thou art thrice cleansed, then shalt the face of the Builder shine down upon Saint Brecket."
Look where the light shines from the Builders face after you use the three fonts.
Are you referring to the precursor artifact mentioned in the Notes? Search through Mercier's room to find a key. If you've already done that and seen the artifact, you have to shatter the glass dome before you can pick it up! Whack it with your mace!

I checked the scripts and it should be impossible for the guards to start fighting until the courier quest is complete, so something else is going on. Could you please follow the courier and keep the door open after him? See if he actually delivers the note or if fighting starts before he gets to the table. Also, see if the fighting is directed at just one person (The courier, Mercier or the Over-Warden?) or if all the guards start fighting each other.
BTW, I envy you for your computer. I've got a lousy LG laptop. (Does LG stand for Less Goodness or Lousy Garbage?)
The courier doesn't deliver the note. Almost immediately after he opens the door and enters the room everyone goes on alert and if i'm close to the door they all just start fighting me. They're not fighting each other. Sometimes there are shouts of 'His dead'. This spooks the courier and he runs out so the objective fails. I tried running into the room right behind the courier but couldn't spot any dead bodies in the room.
But i tried something else which for some reason allowed me get past that point. There's a torch at the top of the stairs which i put out with a water arrow when the courier is near the door. This alerted the courier who then started searching and entered the room while searching. Everyone still went on alert but they just started searching. I stayed out of the way and waited. At some point the courier calmed down and delivered the note, at which point the guards start fighting each other finishing the objectives.
