Yuck Thief 4? The Thief series would fall victim to to much of a good thing. Fan missions satisfy the need for new challanges, a new Thief with a new canon plot would leave the other three games seeming tacky, as the first 3 all rounded together so well.
Thief 4: OH WAIT! GARRET HAS GOT ONE MORE ADVENTURE, AFTER HIS TALE CAME FULL CIRCLE!!1!
As for another charachter, I don't think the official Thief games would be the same without Garret

Well, what I ended up doing in the past day or so is getting Garrettloader and downloading a couple of FMs, which I have never done. I'm working on "Cult of the Resurrection" right now, and it seems very impressive so far, although I have yet to find any cult members. The basement also seems elusive ...
I've had TII floating around in my CD piles for a few years now without loading it (I tried on an older computer, but it wouldn't work), and I suppose I'll have to rummage for it.
I'm in grad school right now, and I've gotta say that Thief has put a dent in my productivity on my thesis. Somehow, though, I don't really mind. :angel:

Considering there are like 700 FMs now, you may never finish that thesis! <img width=24 height=24 src="http://www.ttlg.com/forums/images/smilies/teeth.gif">
I wimped out and just took the comp exam when I got my Master's degree. <img width=12 height=12 src="http://www.ttlg.com/forums/images/smilies/redface.gif">

Imagine a new Thief game with that orphan girl at the end of Thief DS. :joke:

True, I can honestly reason with that - but, in all fairness, T2X proved that an addition can be just as "Thief" even with a completely different main character. It's all a matter of how involving the storyline is, how enveloping the missions are, and how engaging the overall product is.
IF there was ever to be a T4, it would defi end up needing a new character, as I think using Garrett again would be stretching it . . . but, to make up for this shortcoming, the story would have to be on par with TDP, the mission design would have to be on par with TMA, and graphically it would have to be better than TMA/TDS. It would be a massive undertaking for a software company, if they really wanted a hit. Y'know, I think the Dark Mod looks like it would be capable of being the perfect engine for a T4.
IMO, I was honestly surprised at how great T2X turned out to be, and I really thought it was better than TDS.
But, TDS was still good - I just have a lot of gripes with the playability of it compared to the older installments . . .
