What do you think? Reskinning some AI meshes = Christians. Reskinning a hammer = cross! Crusaders in thief, I like the idea... also Cathedrals with icons?
I think I have idea for a Christian story in Thief...
It seems that my broken english make people misunderstand me.
So, I apologise to everybody being offended.
By saying Fighting christians in thief, I meant crusaders with swords. As some of you may know, they were not Christians exactly.
Actually, this is offensive in some way, too.
I just wanted to make Thief more Earth-like.

Could be cool. Harder than reskinning textures though would be putting in appropriate voice-acting. God wasn't a vengeful, hammer-wielding smiter of sinners, was he? Oh wait...

Not a good idea - it will offend someone. :tsktsk:

It's like that Christian Slater dude. You're like "Christians? Later, dude."

A few FMs have had Christian images in them, e.g., Mansion of Chaos (iirc), I saw some in the screenshots for Horns of Canzo 2 ... and a few times this provoked discussion. So I recommend you search for and read these discussions out there if you want to get an honest / accurate idea how such an FM would be received. I think the main issues weren't from the Christian side, but more from the Thief side, that real world (alien from its pov) icnonography just doesn't mesh well into *its* world, but if it's explicitly on this theme then maybe it will be received differently, a little more sympathetically. Also, the FMs coming out these days (what is this, 7th / 8th generation?) are breaking out more and more, so may be worth a shot.

Aren't they Angry Atheists?
As in "Get that Christianity out of my face!!"

Well, in some way I agree with freddy fox. It will offend some people. So, I'm not going to develop such missions. On the other side, it will make Thief more natural.

:p You sissy. I originally thought that was a kickass idea - I mean, how could an idea resulting in people offended not be kickass ? And now you are chickening out ?
I
demand my christian / muslim / jew conversion !
I just want to kick some dogmatized ass.
