A Thief 2 Fan Mission Campaign
by Ricebug
Release date: 29 Oct 2013

NOTE

You must play this mission under New Dark 1.21. Failure to do so may cause some features to become unstable.

Thin Story Line

Certain interests have discovered an island, long abandoned by a mysterious group named the Sidhe. In the ensuing destruction, the Mechanists, Hammerites, and a host of greedy others are exploiting the archeological find. Hearing about the potential wealth, you climb aboard the Rose Cottage and decide to get in on the action.

Welcome to Heretic, a Thief 2 mod based on the original game.

Heretic was a fantasy first-person shooter video game created by Raven Software, published by id Software, and distributed by GT Interactive in 1994. It was made available on Steam on August 3, 2007. (Wikipedia)

Of the 45 levels, I’ve selected 3. Most of the levels (and I toured all 45 twice) are wide open spaces with long site distances. They were obviously designed for death match and team type game play, and therefore unsuitable for translation into the Thief universe.

Spit & Polish

Nameless Voice, R Soul, Haplo, Sensut, John9818a, ffox, darthslair, Independent Thief, Yandros, and few other taffers at TTLG I may have missed.
