Thief 4 is trash.

I guess the lead writer really liked Granny Rags, huh?

 

Well, I guess the team really liked Dishonored in general.

queen of beggars looks like a mirror image of Erin, the noses look the same but mirrored.

 

there's always the thing that if garrett caught the portal as it was closing then maybe time stood still for him for a year, while Erin went through the portal and was sent back in time to a point unknown at this time.

If Erin did get sent back through time, to even before The City was as prominent as it was, and before Garrett was the master thief, then what the hell was her train of thought at the time?

I really hope she isn't the Queen of Beggars. I already hate the character as she is a spitting image of Granny Rags. Also, it begs (no pun intended) the question of why the hell she was silent about this, and didn't tell Garrett about what actually happened during the Channeling of the Primal, too prevent this from ever happening to the young Erin, and instead only spouts pointless and overly dramatic lines of mystic nonsense.

 

You know, here's an idea. How about... Erin dies, and... nothing. She's dead. There's no big twist. She dies on the job, and it's an event that Garrett has to live with due to the fact he didn't raise her right; didn't give her the chances he had, and give her the upbringing she needed. Personally, that speaks to me much better.

Erin looks like Dana Scully, does she not?

[stumpy]

it might just be like other games where its a general face with added features for each female character. They started off with the same shape and got tweaked to look different. the black around the eye's and mouth would just be makeup, or whatever would be at hand, eg coal soot and some type of oil, eg like you can replace plaster with mashed potato for filling in cracks in the wall.

I'm calling it now! Erin is the queen's daughter! The Queen of Beggars is out to get you but you don't know why until the end when the big reveal happens.

Do you think that medallion was something made by the Keepers or might it have been made by someone trying to uncover the secrets of the Keepers? I don't remember the Keepers as having to rely on things like that help them with glyphs, and I don't recall them being much into inventing or constructing devices.

Yeah, I guess they constructed more than I thought. The Keeper wands could also be included, I suppose. I'd like to see a picture of that medallion unactivated. It just seems stylistically not very Keeperish to me(other than the glyphs, obviously.)

Well this is a reboot remember so who knows.. maybe they reconstructed the old factions to suit their new Thief style.

 

Also.. welcome to the forums!

I floated a theory over on that Eidos forums that maybe there's going to be some Mechanist involvement in this Thief. Not actual Mechanists but maybe some things left over from their time in the("the" is the wrong word, I should have said "a")Thief world.

I was thinking perhaps the book the Brothers of the Awakened were using in that ritual contains knowledge/power from Karath-din that the Mechanists dug up and transcribed into it. And the Keepers might have sealed it. Hehe, it's probably nothing like that, but I enjoy speculating.

Well, the book has something that at least looks like a gear on the front of it.

 

And the Lost City was plagued by earthquakes(probably buried by an earthquake.) Doesn't the Awakened fooling with the book cause an earthquake that breaks the glass causing Erin to fall?

Could be a polished crystal at the center of that medallion, too.

it might not be a book, it might be a case containing something, and they let it out. the rectangular panel under the gear is set into the face like its a box with a lid that slides out and the metal bar is keeping the box shut.
