btw feast of pilgrims scared the shit out of me with the haunts in the crypt. i am NOT immune
#running away screaming arms flailing trying frantically to fire arrow them without also dying in the process#bc they are So fast and you ready the bow So slowly and the fire arrow has an aoe explosion#so theyre like 2 feet behind me rattling chains laughing in 10 different voices at once screaming at me hitting me with a sword#i kill us both i reload i do it again two more times until i remember i have mines in my inventory and instead lay those in their paths#then jump in place until they start running towards me. hide in a little alcove so i dont get hit by the explosion as well#Don't spend too much time dwelling on how ghosts are dying to mines much less how theyre even setting them off. dont worry about it.#rob the crypt leave climb back up into the chapel proper#get jumpscared by the va for the non-garrett player character in this fm#bc hes doing a sean connery impression that's mixed so much fucking louder than the rest of the audio for some reason#it was a good fm though. it was very good i love thieves highway missions#very much in the spirit of life of the party#reallly one of my few actual criticisms is that the audio mixing was kind of a mess#again conall's voice was way too loud#and the ambient noise tended to be on the quiet side esp music#and i do love hearing ambient soundscapes in these fms i think they add a lot#so id crank up ambient audio#but it would overpower the sound of footsteps and enemies talking and shit which is obv necessary#except if i turned up that audio it would also make conall even Louder#including the new mantling/pickup/sword swinging etc noises they recorded for him#so it was either hear the ambient audio but have conall blasting my eardrums#or put it so that the conall sounds were at a normal level but then everything else was a bit too quiet#that being said on the topic of the va#a lot of very good fm authors did some voices in this one#i think cardia did the voice of the character u hear in random ambient tracks getting into chases w the guards and shit#and it was so fucking funny he did great#like that man was just SCREAMING. tickled me pink#i find his fms with enemies a bit disjointed and confusing for me but his more ambient ones focused on architecture are very neat#so it was fun to hear his voice in this as a sort of easter egg lskdjfghsdgf#should have just started typing this in the actual post if i knew i was gonna go this long but. <3 whatever
