Yeah, these are concept sketches at best, which means many things can change, and likely will. I'm just going by what seems to be the norm these days with female video game characters, that's all.
Edit: I guess there's a decent chance we'll play the girl from the end of TDS, and that way Garrett/Stephen Russell can still make a cameo or two as some type of elder mentor figure.
Or, Zaya? :laff:

No that's true, but I'd have thought if they were going down that route at all it would be evident to
some degree in these sketches.
But yeah, even if we do have a new protagonist, Garrett could still be around.
Though part of me does think, if I'm not playing Garrett, it won't feel like Thief...

I'm surprised everyone's jumping immediately to the 'that doesn't look like Garrett' conclusion. The moles, the baggy eyes, the dark nails... they could be indentifiers of Garrett as an old man as surely as they could be for a zombie or an emo kid.

It's also a little hard to believe that someone working for EM (whether as an employee or contractor) would so carelessly put unreleased Thief 4 materials out on the web for anyone to find - I have to think this was intentionally leaked for the fan community or just for PR in general. Of course, the blog is completely gone now, quite predictable.

I was wondering how long the hardly-necessary "Voice of Reason" would show up and who's voice it would be. I'm not surprised. Circle complete.

Who are you even talking to? Do you even have a focal point for your sardonic gibberish anymore?

They're just rough sketches. As usual, you're reading way, way too much into the art.
It looks cool. Maybe this means they'll be using the same style for their cutscenes as TDP and TMA did.

Cool? What are you drinking? Send me a case.

Much appreciated, Boxy!
:rolleyes:
There are still a couple of the usual parroting party-crashers coming to keep bumping the thread. Nothing like a flock of Chuckling Macaw-hahas to raise the spirits!

I don't want to read too much into this, but I think the concept of that room there is pretty neat in general. Seems like something that one could find in the City. Like the widow's mansion, I can picture it being a strange house full of oddities.
The steam coming out of the safe, I dunno man. Unless there's dinosaur DNA in there it seems a little over the top :P
