How about all of the above? I quite liked the evil Mechanists and their technology. This poll is funny, who voted for hammers but not the guards? :cheeky:

Presumably the guard who always has conversations with Benny
Yeah; if Benny & his buddy weren't there it just wouldn't feel like Thief. I'd like to hear Garrett acknowledge his long-time 'relationship' with Benny as well. You know, just maybe a line or two where he remembers with affection all the times he KO'd poor Benny.
*sigh* Sorry; sometimes I get too sentimental. :o

If pagans make a comeback i'd rather they be the extremely underground 'faction' that they were in TDP, uncovered mostly through their traces and notes rather than the overt 'sie'-ing hippies of TMA.

Don't you mean "overt 'sie'-ing hippies of TDS"? In TMA, the pagans were very much underground, as the City Watch and the Mechanists were actively hunting them down; IIRC, the only missions where you see any pagans are Trace The Courier, Trail of Blood and Precious Cargo (Lotus). In TDS, you had pagans camping out in the park and hanging out at the docks, seemingly quite undisturbed by the Hammers, which didn't feel appropriate.

It might be fun to see some crazy mechanists living off the ruins of Karras' former inventions and worshiping his talking children. Perhaps without Karras they no longer have the ingenuity to make new inventions or upkeep what they have.
You could have the Children of Karras patched together with scrap metal, and some hideous botched attempts at servants. Everything would be decayed and a shadow of the former glory.
this would be fun, as long as it was used similarly to the pagans in TMA (as Jah just described).
the Keepers were broken up at the end of TDS, so it would be nice to explore the fallout from that, seeing rival factions of former Keepers who each think
they know what's best for the City, and some who have tried to follow in Garrett's footsteps but gotten in over their heads...
and in the Keepers' peace-keeping absence, all kinds of rapscallions have made their presence felt the City (like thieves, smugglers, slavers(!), Wardens like Raputo) and need Garrett's attention

Mechanists, Hammerites, and Pagans.
Particularly Mechanists though.

All factions + new ones have to be present in T4.

How do guards get less than Hammerites?
I want them both, obviously, but would thief be thief without generic guards?
