If Deadly Shadows was your first Thief title... - by Goldmoon Dawn

The point of this thread, ZylonBane was to discover if the "new fans" were mindless console freaks, or if they truly understood Thief based upon the extremely limited offering that was Deadly Shadows.
It almost looks like Warren may have pulled it off after all.
:p

Warren? It would be best if he retired long time ago. Both DX:IW and TDS became what they are under his direction. Ion Storm went down under his direction (but it's kinda good thing anyway, sorry for a few good folks). For example, this "faction system" laghable parody is a great idea of Great Warren, AFAIK. Of course he can tell everybody fantasy stories about how he "worked on Thief: Dark Project", but all he got was 'special thanks' in credits.

Ha!
Thief wasn't the best thing Warren worked on, you know...
In his earlier more hands-on days, he helped craft Ultima VI and System Shock.
Keep in mind that both of these titles are classics on par with Thief and better. Warren is one of the best out there. It would appear that he got a little full of his own hype towards the end there, but he appears to be starting fresh. After his earlier days, he deserves a second chance, I think.
EDIT ~ Don't know why I forgot to mention Underworld. Another classic! How many guys out there have this many classics under their belts!

I know it, and enjoy Underworlds and SS. Father of Ultimas 6-7 is Garriot, not Spector.
SS and UU were great, that's why it would be best if he retired long time ago. His last 'masterpieces' is a pile of trash and idiotic design decisions compared to Origin games. Thanks God he didn't work in Irrational. Imagine box of SS2 - "UNIQUE faction system: kill hybrids with your dagger and monkeys will like you!!! Toss your elemental grenades in a horns-looking-thingie and hybrids will die protecting you!!! Unbelievable!!!" :nono:
Second chance? "Another million down the drain..." (c)Deus Ex :joke:
Btw, what company Mr. Spector offered his unique ideas last time?

I think he's set up his own company and is doing some consulting work. He's doing something with Valve at the moment. Deus Ex was a great game, and IW was good. Pity that the scope of the first one wasn't advanced upon.
