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.
