First off...let me just say I have not played newThief. I don't know anything about the game.
Second...I find Thief Deadly Shadows a flawed but still engaging part of the Thief universe.
While I don't have the technical or artistry skills necessary to create a Thief Fan Mission...I always find myself thinking about what direction the Thief universe would have taken following DS.
I do think it makes sense that The City following the Metal Age would have, for a moment, fallen under the sway of the Hammerite Order and taken almost a step backwards with the fear of technology that Karras probably would have created. In this sense it makes sense that the city in DS feels more like Dark Project than moving on from MA.
But newThief seemed a reworking of the original game or am I wrong?
To me, after Gamall ran amok in the city...the Alderman/City Wardens would probably reevaluate Mechanist technology (which they probably still had access to) and would take the city in a more Industrial direction. Gamall would be a wake-up call that there was no going back and all these mystical forces represented a threat that the Hammerite Order and (inadvertently the unknown Keeper Order) could no longer contain.
I could see Garrett's next antagonist in a canon Thief 4 being a more secular opponent...one more focused on solidifying political control than controlling the cosmos.
It would have been interesting to see an older out of touch Garret (voiced by Stephen Russell of course) squaring off against a villain that had similarities to him when it came to poverty orphanage etc...but worked his/her way up from the coal shoot to the board room like a lot of robber barons did.
Sorry for these ramblings but sometimes I feel the need to share.

keepers have no glyphs anymore
pagan got there jacknaws paw back but they so underground they not a threat
merlocks would be a great direction to head if there was a thief 4
hammers were over all small in the grand scheme of thief 3 so they aren't going to do much
undead were pretty much wiped out
no mages in thief 3 i dont remember if there were
i would guess the city folk would clean up the bodies and move on
i think if thief 4 was to happen its time for garrett to leave the city for good to find new adventure in new locals in the wider spectrum of the thief map never used
and most important of all does garrett train that girl in end cut scene in thief 3 or drop her off with keepers and move along
i also enjoy talking cannon
and yes thief reboot in a retelling of thief ,but suppose to take place in same universe just a couple hundred years later=it was a terrible idea in story from a cannon point of view of first 3 thief games
ofcourse i feel the golden child should be the main enemy of garrett in thief 4 but the story would have to not revel it till the very end

Not to be nit picky, but you would probably get more feedback if this were posted in the Thief Series General Discussion forum. ;) This forum is for fan missions in particular.
