also in video there is one part a ex employee says "the city and location of thief has never been discovered" then he says that is a credit to looking glass.
i wonder now if there was a real city thief 1/2 were based on?
also the guy who ends up sitting on the left was the guy who made the thief 2 demo,the life of the party one

Strange, I just watched this recently too, I don't remember the thing about the location of The City though. Do you remember where that part was in the vid?
Bit shocking to see Emil over there on the left - he's lost a ton of weight since his LGS and Fallout 3 days - (

And ya know, Austin Grossman is just kind of a weird dude. But he's interesting to listen to.

At 19:26, and the quote is "to this day i think it is a miracle that the city has never been named, or located. it's a great credit to the people at looking glass."
I think he is refering to within the game world, that people haven't named it or the world in which it resides, it is the entire game universe.

i believe his quote can be taken many ways,i happen to believe thief is based of a city at a certain time in history but as he said no one outside of company figured it out
if i had to guess i would say it must have taken place somewhere in Spain in the past as that country at one time was massive enough to have a thief type locations,as far as the different parts of thief 1/2 also it will not be exact and creators of game would have taken some liberty's in design to suit the player in games for the emurtion.
it was due to the queen of Spain America was founded,not discovered for those who would try to think that i though Chris Columbus found it,as we all know,recent finds show vikings were here first,not counting indigenous people,who in fact themselves are not from America.
i think the time would be at the end of the bronze age and entering the iron age maybe a bit of Victorian/steam punk added for lighting effects as in gas lamps/etc
but would be cool to find out what city it was based off of ,the time era is pretty obvious with twist of other times.
