Thief 1 / Gold Fan Mission

By: Alan Miles (Rugball)
Plot Description: Footsteps approach, you hear a futile plea for help and a brutal murder occurs just a heartbeat away.
Thus begins your adventure in the Thieves Quarter, a decidedly bad neighborhood.
The slain man has information about the Mage's Medallion that was stolen from Ramirez.
The thief responsible has been taken into custody by the Sheriff whose rise to power can be
traced to his relationship to Ramirez. You must locate the medallion and take it the owner of
the Laughing Skull Tavern, Bartok, twin brother of Farkus, your supplier.
You will be rewarded for your trouble but another favor will be asked -- recover the
Builder's Chisel. You, of course, cannot allow Ramirez to use his influence to run this part of
town. Teach him a lesson by helping yourself to the contents of his treasury...

Comments by David Riegel:
Pros: Strong design with intelligent texture choices and extremely reasonable poly counts, great atmosphere, a few unique surprises, and an interesting premise.
Cons: A lack of hints and story development in places, a few unfair gotcha traps, gameplay which forces violence due to its AI placement and constant teleportation of new enemies, a bug which may cause the Thief to crash while loading saved games.
Bottom Line: A solid first effort from Rugball, this mission delivers in terms of atmosphere and intrigue. As it stands, The Thieves Quarter is a good mission that, with some tweaks to gameplay and tech, could be a very strong one.
