Oh my heart.... I can't take this.....oh fuck.... it's pure rage....
Appeal to the console market by turning Thief into an Action Game!? You already tried that. You FAILED at it. It was the WORST, most linear thief game of them all and sold the poorest. No... I don't want this. You already partially fucked up Deus Ex. It was still a good game but it was nowhere near what it should have been had you not beaten it with a hammer until it went stupid.
Why must you do this? If you don't want to make a fucking Thief game why make a fucking Thief game. The people on console won't know what thief is because it was before most of them were 2 years old at the time. So the name has no brand value, the only people that are guaranteed to notice are people who have played thief and those are the people that will call bullshit on what I suspect will be Dishonoured with Thieves.
What is with the "to" Gothic bullshit to? This is the MOST Gothic he has ever looked. He always looked more like a shabby thief, because he was a shabby thief. Why does he have two eyes? Him being one eyed was a part of the mythos. The one eyed thief was his nickname.
Here is how he looked in concept art.
Where do the devs see black nails and mascara? He looks like he breaks into buildings for a living and will shank you if you cross him. That is how he is supposed to look! This guy? He looks like he's going to a goth concert and has a cold so he's wearing a scarf over his face. These people have never played the original games have they?
This is so gonna blow chunks.
