It's sad to say but due to all the copycats we've had over the years,
Geralt looks like "just another stealth character" based on those screenshots.

Also, it's Thief, not Thief 4 (or even Thi4f).

Is that first pic from Thief 3? Looks like a Dark Mod image.
Definitely Thief 3. Dark mod AI are a bit caricatured with the big boots & wonky heads (actually from Doom3) but not *that* bad. But Dark mod's AI will have new heads for 1.09 that are much much better looking.

Yeah, my mistake. My head said Garret, but my fingers typed Geralt. I've been reading those Witcher books a lot lately.

What does that even mean? Those two games were very different from each other. If there's a continuum between
Assassin's Creed and
Thief, I'd put
Dishonored considerably closer to the latter.
I meant combining the third person acrobatics, and rooftop platforming of Assassin's Creed with the stealth gameplay of Dishonored. Most gamers these days have been exposed to Ass creed, so using the "every shooter must be like Call of Duty" publisher mentality, then "every game with an acrobatic protagonist must be like Ass creed." That's how publishers think.

with the stealth gameplay of Dishonored.
So in other words the stealth gameplay of... Thief.
Ignore the powers and non-stealth combat; turn off some of "training wheel" HUD elements and Dishonoured's stealth gameplay pretty much is Thief. Hell, the context-sensitive stealth takedowns are more or less the analogues to blackjack knock-outs.

I don't remember, did Thief 3 have context-sensitive blackjacks, or was it like the first 2 games? I am not a fan of those, I like it more how Deus Ex and Thief: Gold did it, more freestyle.

Yes, IIRC Garrett raised the blackjack when he was in the right position to KO someone.
