Hello all
My 6 monthly play-through of the Thief series has come around and yes my curiosity has got the better of me...
1. In the cutscene for "Lord Bafford's manor",we see a keeper scribe whose face has been disfigured.Is this because of the corrupting influenece of the Glyphs,or does he just have a bad skin disease?.
2. In the final cutscene of Thief 2 after "Sabotage at soulforge",What is the signfigance of the figure in the red(right after garret has closed Soulforges doors)?.
3. In the mission "Strange Bedfellows" on expert, when garret meets the hammerite through the alcove why does his voice change when he speaks of the Builders chisel?.Maybe someone is cotrolling him like a vetriloquists dummy?!.I half expect to hear "Gottle of geer,Gottle of geer"!.
Thanks for looking.

1. The guy is old. Those are dry skin with wrinkles. :)
2. It's one of the servants being activated inside the Soulforge, causing a massive chain reaction fueled by Viktoria's remains. The red is the rust gas.
3. It was probably an extra objective added later in the development of the level and they used a different voice actor for it, maybe intentionally, maybe not.

1. Because it looked it cool.
2. Red is traditionally symbolic of blood, love, courage, sacrifice, anger and resentment. In short, it's symbolic of any strong emotion. But in this case, it was a misconstrued homage to M. Knight Shyamalan's, The Sixth Sense, in highlighting the day-to-day trials and tribulations of a thief. Simply put, Garrett sees in-debt people.
3. He's actually Batman.
