Garrett fakes his own death

Sxerks on 6/3/2009 at 19:29

There is an unused (http://thief.wikia.com/wiki/TDS_resources_in_game_objectives) object in the T3 files that states:
"Fake your own death to get keeper assassins off your back. Potion in apothecary in Auldale."

I wonder how they would have implemented that and where?

Maybe as part of Day 9?

This went with it, too:

[INDENT]SMapothecarynote: "Chet- I'll be out making house calls today. There's a lot of the gout going around. You'll do fine without me, just measure carefully, and write everything down. If it's not too busy, you could put out some more health potions. We can't seem to keep enough of those in stock lately. Doc Waverly"[/INDENT]

I wonder if the building is there, but inaccessible or altered.

There seems to be nothing obvious in the map and neither have I found anything related to that in the scripts. There are a couple of old ones like about Drept's workshop, killing Mobster & going to Shalebridge... and the presence of the map names Auldale1 and Auldale3 suggests that there has been at least another map, but what we have left isn't so much. :erg:

There's a set of trigger scripts for a potion shop under SM2, about a shop keeper and a stolen potion, around Day 4 or 5, or is that a character I forgot about?:erm:

The keeper assassins show up on (http://thief.wikia.com/wiki/Thief:_Deadly_Shadows#Missions, Briefings and Cutscenes) Day 6, and Gamall defeats them on Day 8 when she is revealed.

I thought so. Hmmm....

Under all the AULdales in the trigger scripts, I find no remnant, neither do I find one in the DELTED or OLD folders. I think I remember a dev mentioning that little subplot.

Given their apparent "intelligence" and "elegance" in handling the search for Garrett, I highly doubt that they would have found out about your "death".
Hell, the way they keep on butchering the people of the city, I don't think they would have been bright enough to notice if they actually had managed to kill Garrett. :joke:

No, you got that whole thread purpose wrong. Or ignored it. :p

The potion scripts reveal nothing except that there are three potions to steal and the shop keeper vanishes after it. However, I cannot remember quite now how much of this armory job still exists in the game. If it refers to the golden dagger, I always got it in the Citadel... some way or another. :erg:

The Cothron Armory is where the Orincross Dagger is being kept in a safe, and is where the hyperactive thug is rooting around in. If you startle him, and he doesn't find you, he runs out into the streets and goes on a killing rampage.:wot:

Anyway, faking his death would screw up the established story, and I also would expect the Enforcers to take Garrett's body back to the Keeper Compound.

Well... not completely ignored. The original seems settled to me - there obviously was something more planned but except for some remnants in the files that's it.

This part of the thread purpose clearly puts my answer right on topic again. :cheeky:
Since- if we see how "well" the Keeper Assassins were handled- one simply has to wonder about their intelligence. :laff:
