I had the same thought actually. Then it occurred to me "How cool would that be to be sneaking around a rooftop during a rainstorm and, leaning over to have a look, inadvertently ceased the stream of rain on a guard underneath and he became suspicious?" Though it is highly likely that will not be happening in this reboot, or any game for quite a while, it was a cool thought. I've never played the Thief series (I plan on it), but I loved Dishonored. I hope this game can wow me -- launch titles have done it before and the next generation seems promising.VladG said:And the raindrops... sigh. It's a neat little piece of tech, sure, but for the love of god, focus on stuff that ACTUALLY MATTERS! Rain drop simulation is NOT what I'm looking for in a game.
I'm getting a Dishonored vibe too, and not just from the generic action trailer (Dishonored isn't even the first to do the window dive thing). I think devs realised that a lot of people playing thief:TDP like to blackjack or hack anyone they come across, in spite of it being a game built around sneaking. They might as well accommodate that very unthieflike gameplay as well. If the resulting gameplay is anything like Dishonored's multi-approach style, I'll be happy.CrossLOPER said:snip

Okay, this isn't a thief game, then. The stuff you overheard the guards saying and how detailed and interesting a sense of culture it built was what made Thief go beyond just good and into the realm of excellent.omicron1 said:Rock paper shotgun indicated that the taffers may have done away with Thief's verbal tics altogether.synobal said:Was the word Taffer ever used though.

Actually, it looks like a short bow in teh trailer. I think he was just confused.00Jack00 said:Two notes to Mr. Wehner:
Peak = pinnacle
Peek = view surreptitiously
There has never been a crossbow in Thief. It's a regular short bow.
