I have to agree on the yellow highlighting; it reminds me of the blue highlighting in Thief 3. I think it was the third one at least.
That said, I do look forward to playing it. I am late to the party for the series. I already have the first one and have been meaning to play it. All the more excuse to do so.
The question is, should I get the second to catch up with the story or just read about what happens?
You can play the first one if you want, it's got the better story out of the first 2, but it can be pretty slow going at the start and the graphics are showing their age a bit. If that does put you off, you can play the 2nd, although the story isn't near as good, there's still some interesting interactions going on, and there's many avenues to explore each section through. I loved them both, regardless of what critics say. Been a while since I played either though.
I'm anticipating this quite a bit, so much in fact that I don't even want to know too much about it because I'm sure it'll blow my socks off in any case, and the less I know = greater effect (same approach I take to movies)
