Eh, you are mistaking what being a Master Thief is about. Garrett wouldn't put such unecessary constraints as he doesn't know what he will encounter and therefore what he shall need to complete a mission. I think being an expert includes knowledge on how to use tools to the best of his ability. Think about rope arrows, how would Garrett scale a surface without one? If you had a choice between risking death for a title and carrying a few extra items, which would you choose? Especially when nobody is going to be judging you, except yourself?

The Keepers were quite skilled in predicting the future. The old woman is the Interpreter, who was in charge of translating the ancient texts. She apparently speaks the language and the words are translated by the girl. The scene was foreshadowing the dawn of the Metal Age. She is speaking of various alloys that are used in machinery, talking about how they personify the new age and lead to sadness. Who might have sadness and be a person turned to machine? She is probably talking about the Servants and the fate of the city. The earth rejects this new age and its children, as seen with Vicktoria and her connection to nature. Iron trees seem to have a connection to the book that is ingrained in my head from Thief 1 due to believing it had a connection with the Keystone Tree. The Hammerites believed trees to be towers that withered and died. So basically we have giant towers in the place of trees (death of the trees through rust gas).

Hmm... the end of the prophecy seems the most interesting. Garrett was a regenade of the Keepers yet is still connected to them. His destiny is woven in all that happens above. Karras is referred to as a spider, his home will be a trap for the unwary (Soulforge). As for the sanguine metal dawn, do you remember the color of the moon in Masks? Yeah, it is definately better to go back and listen to the stuff after you have played it to get a full sense of the prophecy.

Thief II Gold? We do have released files from anonymous people. They are rather incomplete and empty though, I don't believe guards even exist in the maps! A project was underway to redux it, yet it closed down without releasing anything due to being a chaotic team.

EDIT: MOTS... hmm, I can't seem to figure out how to escape the prison cell. I wonder if it is just a waiting game or rattling the door 10000 times...

One problem. When in an extremely small area, I tend to get impatient quicker. So I am stopping for today with no progress! I hope the answer isn't one of the two mentioned above.

Between this and Dark Forces, you can see I am the worse prison escape artist. Hey, at least this time there is no chance of me missing my gear!

EDITX2: Today isn't my day. Iron Thiefing the next level, The Lost City, becomes a lot worse when you add in the factor of rope bugs. Such a simplistic level made harder by ropes!
