Mystery Man rocks! From one taffer to another, you all must play this fm!! It's wonderful. And foofies...you have to play it too...just because I said so. There's plenty of challenges for ya, some of the coolest puzzles ever and good atmosphere and a creepy ending for all to enjoy! And some really trippy technical effects. Doaal is really good when it comes to technical magic like S&R. Deffinitely worth your time. So whatta ya doing reading this? Go play! Nuf said.

Whee! I download every FM, regardless. Thanks for another addition.

I did a pre-beta quite a while ago and was very impressed by Doaal's ingenuity with S+R's. He's really doing some great stuff. I look forward to playing it now that it has been officially released.

Need a hint bad..

Where can I find the Fire talisman on Expert? I've loooked EVERYWHERE, and its not in the same place as on Normal. I have the other 3 and every other objective complete except the gem.

[Goldmoon Dawn]

I'm already well into the mission on expert. Yet, I sure could use some advice! After discovering the real reason why I was hunted, I just can't face down the two nasties that appear to welcome me. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!


EDIT ~ btw, this level so far is simply amazing. Very fun. I haven't had this kind of fun since the first time I played The Sword (OM). Good Job.

I beta-tested this and I have to say it is a really amazing level. Very secret orientated. And very cool and enjoyable a masterpiece some brilliant parts of this level really

[Zaphod]

I dl'd this FM this morning, and am enjoying the heck out of it. I'm in a similar place to Goldmoon Dawn, but only because I haven't found a cheap or easy way to avoid fighting them.

Good level design, good use of AI, plot is a little obtuse in places, but a very good FM.

I just have to add that I have real_oRGy's Thief Gold Upgrade Patches running on this FM, and it looks amazing!!!!!!!!!!! I've already pulled some very cool screenshots for my "FM Screenshot archive". Basically, I've played almost all of the FM's all the way through, and have kept a screenshot journal. Very fun, and cool to look through. Keep up the great work you Dromeders!

[Masterthief30]

Can someone send me a copy of mission 15? Both things for it.

Where the hell do you get off naming your mission "Miss15" Doaal? It overwrites the T2 mission 15!! How about naming it something esle like "MM" or something? Not only that, but by naming it Miss15 it doesn't show up in DarkLoader!

[Wynne]

Ahhh... Masterthief30... "Mystery Man" is a T1 mission.

Furthermore, a damn good one! I beta-tested too. Very clever challenges for people who like to get all the loot. Doaal's mind is about as twisted as madgod's, so if you like his missions, you'll probably like "Mystery Man".

[doaal]

Umm the FM is for Thief 1 Masterthief 30

The fire talisman and Nina's heart are in different places on expert. Try searching the small library near the dining room.

Drat!

I am slow on those replies.

Sorry that was uncalled for.

[Masterthief30]

My aplogizes Doaal. I did end up having to re-install T2, back up my mission files so they wouldn't go along with DromEd, re-configure the user.cfg and a few other minor things. But at least it all worked out. I think I will try your mission in T1 though.

This level is VERY FUN!

[Sharga]

Yes yes, its really good isn't it? Commands I high price...say four silver hammers? Possibly more? Good to see people appreciating a well done mission.

Just wait till you get to the ending sequence...ohhh boy!

Don't mind me, continue on.

[Lancer]

I must have played through it 5 or 6 times on various difficulties duringthe beta, spent as much as 3 hours in a single game, and have tet to find all the loot. This is one great mission.
Great job Doall on an extremely well done mission.

Your FM is most excellent doaal; one of the best.

Spoiler maybe?

I thought I'd been everywhere but I was short on finding all the loot almost 4000. How do you open the 2 walls underneath the stairs in the main foyer?
