I think the problem is "How did Garrett lose his eye?" as a thread title is a spoiler to people who have never played the sequels or finished the first. An easy solution would be to rename it to something generic.

Edit: Fixed typo because of Gingerbread's whining.

I can tell you how I lost my eye ;)
No really I am blind in my left eye. Not because I "lost it".

If you're really impatient, here's how I lost it:

[SPOILER]I lost my left eye Due to COATES Disease.[/SPOILER]

Ever since i was 7 years old. yup yup

DON'T READ IF YOU PLAN TO PLAY THIEF1 OR THIEF GOLD.


[SPOILER][Smoke drifts onto the screen from the left. The sound of something burning
fiercely is heard. The smoke drifts to the right, until the source is visible:
The Eye. It drifts through the air, towards a pair of hands, which close around
it. The view changes to show Constantine's face. His eyes turn towards you, and
he smiles. The sound of a door closing is heard.]

[The Scene: The Temple/Altar room in Constantine's mansion. The view changes to
show the room. The sound of boots walking on wood is heard. The view slowly
shifts towards the right, towards Constantine. A silhouette is shown to be the
source of the walking noises, moving towards Constantine.]

Constantine: I can't tell you how pleased I am with you, Mister Garrett. I
simply can't find the words.

[View changes to show Garrett, his face hidden in shadows, holding what appears
to be a sword in its scabbard.]

Constantine: But perhaps Viktoria can help me in that regard.

[View changes to show Garrett from behind, silhouetted, with Constantine
brightly lit in front and to the right.]

Constantine: She has such a way with them.

Viktoria (unseen): Yes, we are both so VERY pleased.

[Viktoria enters our view on the left. Garrett shifts to the right, blocking
our view of Constantine.]

Garrett: Viktoria?

[View changes to a close up of Garrett's face, only his mouth not covered in
shadow. In the background, we can see some sort of plant life growing as we
watch.]

Viktoria: Even though The Eye is...defective.

[View changes to show Garrett from behind, silhouetted, both Constantine and
Viktoria standing in front of him, brightly illuminated.]

Garrett: What?!?

Constantine: Viktoria is quite right, Mister Garrett. I don't mean to sound
ungrateful, but this eye is completely blind.

[As he speaks, a creaking noise is heard. Behind Garrett, more plantlife is
shown growing at an accelerated rate.]

Garrett: It's a rock. It's what you asked for.

[View shifts to a closeup of Viktoria's face, grimacing evily, an odd design on
her cheek.]

Garrett: Am I gonna get paid or not?

[Viktoria smiles evily. The view changes to a closeup of The Eye in
Constantine's hand. As Constantine speaks, the view shifts upwards, resting on
his chest.]

Constantine: Of course.

[Constantine's shirt stretches noticeably.]

Constantine: Viktoria, are you prepared to give Mister Garrett his....

[Smoke rises from his shirt, the buttons snap, the material falls away, and
bloody sigils appear to form on his bare chest.]

Constantine (in a very different voice): ...Compensation?

[The view pans up to Constantine's face. Horns sprout from his head, and a
familiar middle eye design appears in blood on his forehead. He smiles
wickedly.]

[View changes to Viktoria's chest, her clothes falling away to be replaced
quickly by rapidly growing vines.]

[View changes again, Viktoria from behind. Her clothes fall away, her
fingernails are now claws, and her skin is rapidly replaced with a wood-like
material. As she speaks the view moves up her body, more vines can be seen
growing to cover her body. The view settles on Garrett, seen over her
shoulder.]

Viktoria: Bow to the Woodsie Lord, and offer up your flesheye so that his Eye
of Stone may see, Manfool!

[She flings her arm towards Garrett, thick vines and creepers shooting out,
growing.]

[View changes to a side view, showing Garrett thrown against a pillar, the
vines and creepers pinning him against it. Plant growth continues to be seen on
Viktoria's body.]

[View changes to a closeup of Garrett's face, eyes widening in fear, vines
growing around him.]

Viktoria: Bids he then the spruces to singer him an anthems! And the Woodsie
Lord binders them fleshes to stone!

[View changes to a closeup of Viktoria's free hand, moving slowly back,
fingernails growing as we watch. She flings her hand forward.]

[View changes to a closeup of Garrett's right eye. Reflected in it is Viktoria
hand coming closer. Garrett screams, then her claws are upon him, and plucks
his eye from its socket.]

[View changes again to show Viktoria standing silhouetted. Several creepers
withdraw back into her arm, and she holds both hands up, one holding Garrett's
eye.]

Trickster: Did you think those ancient phrases were mere words, Manfool? Look
at me!

[Viktoria blurs as the focus changes to a vine-covered Garrett falling to the
floor. Shortly, a hoof stamps on the ground, next to him.]

Trickster: *I* am The Woodsie Lord, The Trickster of legend!

[View changes to show Garrett's bloody eye in Viktoria's claws. She passes it
over to the Woodsie Lord's hand, dropping it in, then both hands withdraw.]

Trickster: If you be thirsty, fleshthing, drink of me.

[As he talks, the view shows The Eye close up, the prongs opening wide to
accept Garrett's eye, which is slowly placed into them by the Woodsie Lord. The
prongs grab it eagerly, and The Eye starts to glow orange.]

Trickster: If you be hungry, then feed for I am the honeymaker, and the
jacksberry!

[As he speaks, the view changes to a dead-on view of Garrett's eye within The
Eye, the orange light glowing through it. Blood appears to run down its sides,
and the prongs close around it.]

[Viktoria speaks, and the view changes to a fully-transformed Trickster,
holding up the completed Eye. He looks at it and smiles. Flies can be heard
buzzing nearby.]

Viktoria: He am the leaf that feeders on the fleshed ones.

[The Eye flashes, and the view changes to Garrett, trapped in vines, cowering
on the floor, only a hand and his remaining eye visible.]

Viktoria: Thems that calls themselves Builders and wielded up a hammers against
him!

[View changes to one from Garrett's viewpoint, looking up at the silhouette of
the Trickster, holding The Eye. As the Trickster speaks, Viktoria steps into
view, also fully transformed, eyes glowing.]

Trickster: My poor Mister Garrett, you will not live to SEE the sprawling glory
of it! Your sacrifice is not yet complete!

[View changes to a closeup of Garrett's eye and hand, shivering in fear. Vines
continue to grow, and the Trickster and Viktoria both walk past Garrett's
view.]

Trickster: Mine lilacs and mine thistleaids must feeds, and I?

[View changes to show The Trickster in profile, Viktoria walking up behind him.
The Trickster raises his hand as he speaks, and brings it down, cutting a swath
of light through the air, which grows brighter.]

Trickster: Stands He then in the greens and festered Maw and speeds He out his
judgements upon the weeps and writhing manfools!

[View changes to show Garrett's eye and hand again, shivering. Lights flash
around him. The view changes to a closeup of Garrett's remaining eye, and we
can hear his scared breathing as lights continue to flash. His eye rolls
upwards, as if he's fainted, as vines twine and grow over it.][/SPOILER]

Yep, I personally like the cutscene with the metal age prophecy from T2 or the final cutscene of T1 more.

I've had 99+1 other games on my mind.

Thief cutscenes may be the best of all time... for Thief fans only.
