Plot Description: "All the mess has began when I escaped from the City to the HighRock
town. City's major has organized a big round-up, all my hideout were revealed and I barely
escaped his guards. All my stuff remained there, but this is not important for now, because
I'm just mad of what was happened recently...
I met another thief in Highrock one night. He was almost catched by local guard when I black-
jacked the second and such saved thief's freedom. His name was Switcher. He was very grateful
and offered his services. Soon I got the rich information about locals nobles and goldbags.
Switcher became my friend. I liked that fellow. He was honest and straight-forward guy. Of
course all this made bad thief from him....(more)

Comments by Andrew Dagilis:
Pros: A large, intricate town with elaborate architecture and dozens upon dozens of places you can enter; many technical innovations; several minor puzzles to solve; very good Thief-play in the urban part of the mission.
Cons: Many interiors don't match the brilliance of the exteriors; an unfair "gotcha!" trap; more unavoidable fencing with haunts; a hackneyed mano a mano slugfest with a pumped-up end-level boss in a game specifically designed to avoid such tired FPS clichés.
Bottom line: Events in Highrock is a large and ambitious level filled with intricate architecture and several technical innovations that offers players a rich setting for hours of exploration and thievery. Unfortunately, the mission's high overall quality drops by a few notches once you leave the town, becoming restrictively linear and filled with combat, little of which can be avoided.
