another thing to consider is in Life of the Party, when Garrett comes across those guys robbing a house he remarks to himself "Housbreakers.....how quiant" (sarcasm obviously) but the way he says it is very hostile
So it appears that Garrett is opposed to breaking into the average innocent citezens home and stealing from them. He only steals from rich corrupt nobles and the like :ebil:
and of course the dead

I think he saw them more as the competition.

Thats the feeling I got. Competition. . .and perhaps some contempt that they were being so amateur.

I sometimes feel bad if I kill a guard since they are just doing their jobs. Never really felt bad about killing the hammer guys since they are a bunch of evil fanatics as far as I concerned.

I find Thief more thrilling by trying not to be seen period and if I do blow my cover, I run to a nearby hiding spot. I just always felt knocking people out or killing them eliminated the risk and suspense playing through the rest of the level. As far as loot goes, if I can't get to it without being seen, I leave it. And morals? Well, I do admit to feeling bad about stealing from characters who seem to need their treasures, which is why I like to sift through scrolls and books nearby in an effort to gain some perspective. Thinking about earning enough gold for the next mission to buy more equipment doesn't interest me. The less equipment, the more the challenge.
That's right, call me nuts, but it's all part of the narrative of Thief.

I also sometimes feel bad if I kill a burrick. I think it's because of the whimpering noise they make

I don't have any problem stealing from people. I mean, just think about how stupid the citizens of the City are.
Imagine you're a nobleman's servant in a badly-lit mansion, and all round you the torches are going out... one by one. And somehow you fail to notice that the guard who was patrolling outside hasn't been there for the last fifteen minutes. Suddenly there's the sound of a door creaking open. You can't see anything, but you hear what might be very, very soft footsteps somewhere behind you. What do you do? Shrug your shoulders and go "Hmm, must have been rats"? Really?
Anyone dumb enough to behave this way does not deserve to own anything. They'd probably get swindled out of it anyway. Better that I look after it.
