i am of course refering to Garrett, the main character of Thief: The Dark Project, and Thief II: The Metal Age..
..sneaking into castles, sticking to the shadows, knocking out guards with blackjacks, or killing them with your sword or arrow, then hiding the bodies and looking for stuff to steal or pickpocket...*drool*
both are among my favourite games ever... they have a totally unique atmosphere and gameplay
they're from the same group who made System Shock 1 & 2 and Deus Ex, some of the most critically acclaimed games ever
ANYWAYS: Thief 3 is coming out soon!!! its being made simultaneously with Deus Ex 2, and the development teams are sharing some members
the first screenshots of Thief III are now available: yyyoink and yyyyyoink
looks great!!!!
Thief news can be found here
and deus ex 2 (which ALSo looks really cool) info can be found here
they say Thief III will share the same very open-ended approach to the missions as Deus Ex.. and this is from an Eidos press release w/ descriptions of the games they'll show at E3:
"The stealthy character is rarely seen, never caught, a master of the ambush and capable of breaking into the most ingeniously secured places. Garrett steals from the wealthy and gives to himself, making his living in the dark and foreboding City. Although Garrett would prefer to be left alone to ply his trade, the prophecies of an impending Dark Age dictate a different plan for the thief. Thief pioneered the concept of stealth action on the PC, and gives gamers the opportunity to truly play a thief. Take advantage of Ion Storm's groundbreaking dynamic lighting and shadow systems -- every character and object, including Garrett, cast realistic, movable shadows that effect stealth ga

I'll be getting Angel of Darkness when it comes out, despite the sloppy name. I'm not big on games other than the Tomb Raiders, though. *shrug*

Deus ex invisible war was dissapointingly similar to deus ex. The A.I. was even worse, it was buggy, demanded a monster p.c. to run it on, it was frustratingly easy, super short and not open ended at all. What else?
