Loads of other people are, so I thought I share my comments about Thief 3.
The Clint Eastwood:
It's a thief game, and has kept pretty true to the originals. I had massive
fears after playing Deus Ex: IW. But Now I see that they were unfounded.
They've kept the atmosphere and not dumbed things down.
The voice Acting, they've got Stephen Russell back. Wouldn't have been the
same without him.
A lot of the changes they have made are good. I like the city idea, I would
have like to have seen it expanded on a bit more though. I.e. a bit more
interaction with the occupants, the odd chat to pick up a bit of
information.(maybe in Thief 4 should there be one)
All in all I'm loving it.
The Lee Van Cleef:
The most annoying thing is this new trend games seem to have of saving game
setting and save games to your My Documents folder. I've got My Documents
set up the way I like it,and the game has it's own folds on an entirely
different hard drive, it should save to it.
I don't like the way Garret looks. I was hoping for him to look like he did
in the cut-scenes in T1&T2, i.e. black hooded cape. Ok, you could argue that
it would be realistic for a thief to go on jobs dressed like that, but you
could also argue that it's not too realistic to find a ship filled with
zombies. Of course the lack of a cape could be down to the limitations of
the engine.
Where's Garret's Sword gone? I never used the sword much in the first two
games bit it came in handy from time to time.
The Eli Wallach:
Garret shouldn't have a scare that size on his face. For us who know how he
lost his eye(most of this group) we know that he would have received an
injury that would cause a scar like that.
