had LGS still been around and Edios didn't stick there nose in, we might have had a real Thief 3 that would have had females more, Comments on the hammers gaining back into power etc.. TDS was a good game but well under par compared to the first two.

You might want to check who was involved with developing the story for TDS. While it is controversially divisive (some say simplistic), and there are always folks that are willing to say what was wrong with the game and it`s plot arc overall, the story was created by people who had been working on the setting since the beginning.

It wasn't really the story I was commenting on. Though I guess all the little written notes and stuff do come under 'story'. But the whole game just seam SOO toned down for a console release and to get new fans over old. While (of course) T2 had a training level, it was playing for old fans that remember Basso but you didn't need to know all this. But on the whole, the game expected you to have played T1 to really enjoy the game (in fact, so much of the story followed it on)
Where as for T:DS (another point about aiming more for new fans, note the lack of 'Thief 3') seamed to have little linking it to the past, apart from the Eye and even then, it's whole treatment seamed to pretty much say you really didn't need to know more as it told you all you needed.
But really, this isn't a 'Point out the problems with T:DS' thread ^_^;
Really, there shouldn't be Female Hammers in DS cause for them to then take them in, would be to be accepting some of the views of the hertics.

J. Nuvio is the Patient in the Cradle that painted portraits, and if the subject didn't hold still, he'd kill them. Lauryl sat very still for her portrait and survived, and it's his painting of her in the attic. The cropped screenshot of the woman's portrait was taken in an upper level. There are four such paintings on the tables up there, each with a red handprint over the face, and the eyes are covered with gems, eight in all.
Oh, and: (

Now I remember.
Well... The Cradle-folk certainly had bats in the belfry (both inmates and staff alike :p)...
