Dia, calm down, please. Just breathe.
Thiaf is going to take place in the 70's in NYC. So the girl should be dead long ago. Don't worry about her. :sly:

The girl is a small enough part that EM could simply "forget" to add her in without offending people. She is hardly the uber-important figure that some of you make her out to be. Let her simply vanish into the shadows from wince she came.

Well a couple of days later after seeing Garrett she went to the bonehoard to find some cash, and was eaten by a mutant burrick.
She died on the way back to her home planet.

Everything unique that has been introduced in the very end doesn't mean a teaser for something in the sequel. Let's see... Thief 1 "introduced" those blue, war-tattooed craybeasts in the last level and we never saw them again. Thief 2 "introduced" sawblade-spitting spider bots in the last level and we never saw them again. Deadly shadows "introduced" a girl with 1 line in the "full-circle storytelling insert*" in the end.
*A "full circle storytelling insert" is a storytelling technique, where an additional scene, that has little to do with recent scenes, is added to the very end. This scene usually has some of these characteristics: 1. The main character returns to his usual lifestyle, but something has that has happened, has changed it slightly. 2. The main character has adopted his new lifestyle because of recent events. 3. An event that brings to mind a similar, former event, thus representing the main character's story coming to full circle.
The insert means that the events leading to that point have resolved any lose ends and there is nothing significant left that could lead to a potential sequel. This is something that storytellers use if the're not sure that sequel will ever be made, so if one is made eventually, they can have a clean start without having to over-abuse continuity.
P.S Thief 1 also "introduced" snow in the very end but we never saw any of that again.

Ohoo, that full circle truely means that Garrett is done. In Thief 4 there is going to be a new protagonist. I am sure.

Not.

The girl cannot be ignored. She's already a part of the story.
Only if you consider TDS part of the story.
Highlander and The Matrix never got any sequels, either.

Hahaha, you don't like TDS, right? But the storyline of TDS is great. Now the keepers don't have glyphs. There are no more magic, books, secrets.
That story whether you like it or not is there. I don't like the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki but I cannot change the history. So you cannot change the events that have already taken part in TDS so accept them.
That covering of your ears only speaks of your ignorance and impossibility to accept the NEW. The innovations keep us people alive and those who desire to live again the past will perish.
You don't like 3rd view of TDS, right? OK, that's why there is 1st view also. You don't like the loot glint, right? Hahaha, that minor problem is a question of personal preferences. There are so many tweaks now that every one can change the game to match his likings. What? You don't like that Garrett can blackjack only from the back, right? This is making the game too hard for you, uh? Well, for me that makes it more complex and make me think of strategies.
Wake up, guys. The story, the game cannot mark time. The game and the story will evolve. As I said before, I think that you want 15-20 new missions for TMA with better graphics. Well, there are 1000 FM for TMA. Play them and call them Thief 4 if you like. I want to play something new. I want to steal and kill and sneak and hide in shadows no matter whether Garrett or some girl is talking.
PS: Dia :p
