Does the new Thief actually have Anything to Do with Thievery?

The new Thief Launch trailer does a good job of setting the scene but not so much informing the player of what to expect in terms of thievery

Does the new Thief actually have Anything to Do with Thievery?

Let’s take the game’s launch trailer as an example.

Garret asks a boat man if he believes in ghosts before going on to admit he’s ‘been a ghost all his life’. Maybe he’s literally a ghost! Couple this with the fact he’s dressed like a sodding ninja (worth stressing) and quite boastfully carries a bow and quiver full of arrows and I’m pretty convinced the man’s a phantom assassin.Also Garret has amnesia. He’s lost a year of his life or events from a year ago seem hazy or whatever. Basically, the dude’s memory is f*cked. So if he don’t know what he is, then how am I supposed to put it together?! AND NOW THERE’S MAGIC! You’ve got your druids, you’ve got your chanting, you’ve got your mystical lights. To clarify, I gots no beef with magical druids. But unless their robes are lined with diamonds, why should a Master Thief care what voodoo they’re cooking.
