Logical mission locations

[temnix]

When a contact sends you to a warehouse and the mission takes place in a warehouse, the only thing standing between the two is the gabled porch of a nice manor house... There is no shortage of industrial buildings on the maps, missions should be placed at intelligent locations. And how about an interior set for a private house, for that manner? If it turns out to be an immense mansion with stairways and floors and hallways, I won't be surprised. After all, endless depots can hide inside modest buildings and miles-long sand warrens and crystal caves sprawl below city sidewalks.

 

I'm actually quite fed up with warehouses. It's like I'm some kind of industrial facilities inspector.

There are a couple disconnects like that, though sometimes it's that you sneak into an office that has access to the part of the sewer (or visa versa)

The Graves villain missions go through an instance that has a nice natural wood mansion interior... I wonder if those assets could be used to make some more 'house' maps.  I'd like that!

I know the Dollface mansion map is reused in one of Trilogy's missions, just without the big portrait and with a different final room. Then there's Manticore's mansion seen in the Twinshot arcs, which uses similar assets but in much better condition. Both of these maps are just so nice that I wish we had generic "Mansion" and "Abandoned Mansion" maps using their tilesets.

Play Gold Side.

Uh... How does that relate? I know goldside has a nice (if repetitive) high-tech lab tileset, a genuinely snazzy palette swap of the office tileset and a rather boring underground tunnels tileset, all of which are typically keyed to doors which make sense, but that doesn't help blueside and redside much.

A lot of the mission locations are a situation where you head to a certain building, and the building actually is what the mission says on the tin.
