Well done sir. I'm working my way through it, currently about 15 hours in, 10 of which are probably City exploration and side quests. At this point I feel like the developers were able to retain the core of what makes Thief so enjoyable, but ditching the lore, factions, and Stephen Russell all kept it from being a truly great successor to the franchise.

Well that's unfortunate. I was really hoping that
Orion was going to resurrect the power of the Keepers (who I assumed had faded into legend) using the book you steal for him from the underground Library. Oh well :?

Right? I hear NPC's complaining about it, and I just could care less. They should just be thankful they don't have to deal with the rat plague :P
I made an error..it was actually 51 hours.. but pretty hefty either way. I have about 16 hours in the city. And yes, it would have been awesome to see the Keepers-stuff return in some way.

I own it and will be playing it, but I'm being forced to stay downtown away from home at the moment (due to my daughter's health) and won't be able to play more than the few hours I already have until probably mid-April. Or am I one of the 4?

It's on my list. I want to play Thief 1 & 2 first, and those are taking a back seat to Dark Souls 2, and then will probably take a back seat to the Diablo 3 expansion.

I am playing it!

I am 6 hours in, I just have not had a chance to play much as I started Uni as a mature age student 4 weeks ago and the work load is kicking my ass.

Hoping you put a few hours into it today, apparently the implementation of Mantle is better in Thief than it is in Battlefield 4.

Started it then got side tracked by Dark Soul 2. Plan to go back, thought it was a good game and the stealth so far has not been done to the extreme and is a little forgiving. Which is nice when you do not have all the time in the world to make a perfect playthrough of an area.

I wouldn't skip Deadly Shadows if you haven't played it.
