Yeah, but the poll isn't targeted toward "the general market"--it's for Thief fans.
I just assumed - and perhaps this is naive of me, I don't know - that fans of Thief would also like other games that share its ideas. And since new games following in Looking Glass' footsteps aren't exactly a dime a dozen, it doesn't seem unusual to me that people would be interested in a new Thief game even if it didn't star Garrett.

I wonder how many others are voting "yes" and feel the same way as you do. Frankly, I'm surprised by the number of "yes" votes.
For shizzle. If the poll had asked "would you like to reprise the roll of Garrett in T4?" I think you'd have got a very different result. The question was really pretty dumb - it gives us the choice of boycotting the game on the basis of no information at all, or say 'yes, I'll buy' because that's the only alternative. The only conclusion you can draw here is that people are prepared to consider an alternative protagonist, which seems fair enough.

I don't know, I see your point about how the question was put, but I imagine most people interpreted it as "
Would you buy Thi4f if there were no Garret?", with the implicit allowance for other factors. At least that's how I read it. I voted
Yes, but if the game turned out to be shit as a general thing I wouldn't buy it even if the protagonist were Kate Beckinsale,
naked.

I know how to make everyone - the hardcore taffers
and the console tards - happy...
Give Garrett some tits.
Et voilà!
Yandros waits for redface to come along and provide a visual....
And I'd certainly buy it if the protagonist were Kate Beckinsale naked...

Hahaha, a good idea, taffer. Let's make a poll: male or female character. I hope that Eidos Montreal has already decided what it's gonna be.

As far as I know, Garrett's story is finished. He left the Keepers, fulfilled the prophecies, and now that the glyphs are gone, he returned. There are no more prophecies, no more ways to know if he is tied to the fate of the city. I think that this would be an OK place for Garrett to exit stage.
That said, I would like it if Garrett were involved in T4, if not the main character. Maybe he would be to the player like Artemus was to us: A mentor or teacher figure.

But of course! ;) I know for a fact you're not a pubescent with a mammary gland fixation. :cheeky:
