NIGHT RAID - Impossible to useless

Gameplay
#1

Adding Night raid mission to the game is just stupid since it’s impossible to do. As a level designer for
The Dark Mod and lover of stealh games, you broke every rule by making it impossible. When you
get on the battlements, if you go left, to choke out or stealth kill either guard on the left of ladder,
the place is alerted. If you go right, you encounter 3 guards sequentially with torches walking toward you. The
first two can be taken down with an arrow, but not the 3rd, so again the place is alerted.

the door leading into The 1st floor of the keep, is not able to be opened. So the whole mission is really just
a waste of time, and designed to do nothing other than frustrate the player. Either it should be removed, or
to the left of ladder, the guard guarding the stairs, be removed so it’s at least possible. Otherwise, drop the alert level, where any attack on any guard results in everyone knowing you’re there. Completely bogus for a game that is going to hardcore realism.

The guard at the stairs will move he goes from the wall and back to the stairs. Wait until he’s walking to the stairs to make your move.

But yeah the raid seems like there should be more to it.

The mission isn’t impossible(meaning difficult) but it is supposed to fail

SPOILERS
What I mean is that I managed to pass the guards and reach the destination marker but then the guards were alerted and went after me(when you reach the destination you find that Radzig and Lady Stephanie aren’t there and then a cutscene is triggered and Lord Capon gets an arrow on the knee).After that, the mission says that you have to flee and when you do that the quest ends.I find it irritating that you can’t go further and search more for your father because the quest is supposed to fail :confused:

wants hardcore

wants difficulty decreased

pick one.

Exactly, it’s meant to fail, so why include it. It only serves to frustrate the player, and
has no other function. You could argue, that it might be tried to rescue the hostages,
but if realism is the go, then if you can sneak 5 guards in, then you can sneak them all in
and take over the castle. It’s a pointless mission.

It could be a great mission, if we were allowed to complete it, but then that would spoil the reason for sieging Talmburg. So again, Night Raid makes no sense. Get rid of it or fix it.

You can not enter the castle under any circumstance… The quest is designed to fail… their is no situation in which you aren’t discovered.
