That's it! My nightmare. They'll replace Dewdrop with Hello Kitty!! And then you must dress it up to gain points.
See, now this IS a nightmare. I never had to imagine a naked Hello Kitty until I read this post. :(

For T4, my greatest nightmare is that people will judge it without trying it, and work to create a lot of FUD, like this thread.

Trying means buying, borrowing, pirating, and not everyone needs to play to know if they like it or not. Some people know how to research and save themselves the trouble. I will know from what the common complaints are, and what the common praises are, from people I trust who go ahead and try it. I will know from adding those observations to watching gameplay videos. Knowing myself, I will know if the game and I are compatible. Since I will not be able to play it anyway, due to lack of a proper system, I will have no choice but to observe carefully, and may purchase it just to have it when I finally get a system I can play it on. If EM makes a great Thief game, I will purchase it to reward their efforts. Other than all that, I have no compulsion to buy any game, especially if it says "Thief" on the label but the soul is missing or mutated too far from the heart.
Now if the story resonates with me, and/or other aspects besides playability issues are intriguing enough, I will probably buy it for those reasons. Playing TDS is a chore for me, but the things I like, and the fact that it was the LGS devs who worked for Ion's last Thiefy gasp, it was worth my money.

Precisely! I'm not going to buy it just to have it. And if there is any indication of ridiculous little mini-games, a bad story line, excessive violence just to have excessive violence, or an utter deviation from the feel that made Thief what it is, then, regardless of how big a fan I am, I'll give the new title a miss and go buy a good book.

Well now, I googled it.
I think my face has permanently frozen into this look of sheer terror :(

Feels like needing a rape kit afterwards.

That'd be pretty bad. Howz about this fellow - nightmare or improvement?

Some raving genius decides to emulate Alien vs Predator (two great tastes that taste great together?), and combine game franchises - thus...
Thief and StarCraft --> ThiefCraft (Garrett against everyone. Humans - no big deal. Zerg - gas arrows? Protoss - water arrows short out shields?)
Thief and World of Warcraft --> World of Thief (lotsa Garretts skulking and robbing everything in sight...kinda like politicians, but with better manners ;) )
OR...
Thief and NFL Madden --> Thief 2009 (every year Thief is re-released with minor tweaks...except it's basically the same game each time, just with a different cast each year)

What has been seen cannot be unseen! :eek:
Why, oh why, did I have to say, "It couldn't be THAT bad, could it?"
