You are correct in that assessment, though the Trickster of course did not think of it as such. He saw what was being lost and so desired, like you said, to obtain it all instead of share it with the Builder. Perhaps if neither side acted than a natural balance could have been reached.

The Metal Age was the product of the people complaining about the combat levels in Thief 1. Most people enjoyed stuff like Assassins and hated the final few levels. Thief 2 was taking the idea of being a thief and applying it in numerous creative ways, trying to make it fully based on stealth.

I think that is the point of Thief based on what the Keepers say at various points. Whether or not the Keepers' beliefs are true or not is arguable, but it definitely is true that they believe the future to have already been written and that you cannot run from it. You will see this a lot more in Thief 2, their patience with Garrett when he tries to run away from his fate shows their understanding for him to be compelled to act.

You are exactly right with that as well. Many people say that Karras sounds like Droopy. You always hear villains with some evil, powerful voice. Here, we get an imitation of a cartoon dog. But it isn't his voice that is needed, even if he has such an ego with his voice that he throws it into all of his children. You are probably right that Karras would be a nerd in today's society, he was genius of an immense scale who fell in love with himself. It isn't his voice that makes him intimidating, unlike what was done with the Trickster, but his words and his general insanity. Everyone knew what the Trickster was about. Nobody knew what Karras was about even though his image was plastered everywhere.

I was thinking the same thing. Dominus hasn't even played Thief 2 and is trying to squeeze into the conversation by talking about Thief 3, the game we recognize as probably being inferior. Vork on the other hand hasn't even touched Thief. You do realize Dominus we are saying that you are part of the Assassins Creed class? Or perhaps you could have a Thief 3/Nu Thief discussion over there. Ion Storm was the death of LGS, I don't forgive them very easily for Dakitana.

And lo, Vork said the pathetic words that would eventually cause his destruction, hmm. Vorknkx couldn't keep up with my mind, my thoughts, my intellectual capacity! Try and play Thief Vorknxk, because we are READY for your attempt. I fear thee not and soon you will just be another speck of dust to clean off the cathedral floors. Look around Vork, look at my impressive knowledge of the world and the ability to comprehend things that nobody else could understand......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................besides Raadec.
