Nods, there is definitely a massive gap there for most people here. Some are relatively unreliable with technology. Being on the cusp of technology means you get varying skill levels.

All the highly praised stuff for Thief is like that and is one of the more bothersome things about them. Nobody can imitate the main character's voice, so why try making him have conversations at all? Actually, scratch that, why do we have long drawn out conversations? The original game barely had the player interacting with others and you always remained in control, yet now all these mods require you to sit and watch a literal cutscene. You know, while exploiting glitches and calling it "challenge" because you save-scummed every 5 seconds. Ghosting in Thief is one of the worst challenges out there and yet if you are serious about the game that is what people expect you to do. There is a reason there are no Iron Man ghosts, because they are impossible, all you really are doing is save-scumming to get the best possible outcome each time and calling that skill.

These people are just recording their voices. This means you often end up with hissing, noise, or other artifacts. So even when you don't do something too bad, it ends up being too jarring.

But off my rant, yes, custom stuff usually starts getting gimmicky. ESPECIALLY as you get further away from the original year. People want to push the engine, so that means seeing how many complicated scripted scenes you can get in there, as opposed to actual good gameplay.

Oh goodie, we definitely don't need people trying to mix the canon of this new thing with the original game. Well, at least there was little problem with Episode 5, so hopefully this will go over as smoothly.
