========================================================================================= 1st August 2007 ========================================================================================= Campaign : Dancing with the Dead Mission Titles : A Rift in the Loot, Deep Analysis Filename : DancingWithTheDeadV1.zip Author : Gregorius (Grzegorz Lukawski) Contact info : grzesia@gmail.com Homepage : greg.100webspace.net Date of release : 1.08.2007 Version : 1.0 Description: Two-mission campaign, formerly known as "The Evil Beneath". Important notice: The stand-alone version of my first mission 'Dancing with the Dead Episode 1: A Rift in the Loot', released in March 2005 (dwd1_ariftintheloot.zip) had a few bugs. These have been fixed in the latest version, which is the first mission in this pack. WARNING: These missions contain pictures of violence. They are not recommended for children! ========================================================================================= Briefing: A kid came to my house this evening: - Mister Garrett? I've got a message for you: "Come to St. Orbis cemetery before sunrise. You won't regret it." - Who told you that? - I was curious. - Mr Grim. And... he told me you would give me a coin... - What? Take this and go to your mother! Interesting? Who is this 'Grim'? I think I've heard this name recently. I have nothing to do now... I'm going to take a look. ========================================================================================= * Play Information * Game : Thief 2: The Metal Age Level Names : A Rift in the Loot, Deep Analysis File names : miss21.mis, miss22.mis Difficulty Settings : Yes Equipment store : No Map/Automap : Yes/No New graphics : Yes New sounds : Yes New conversations : Yes New models : Yes EAX Support : No Multi language support : No Language : English Briefing : Yes * Difficulty levels * EXPERT: all enemies, few resources, all objectives appearing in-game, no killing of humans.
