Drept(sounding like he's about to have a heart attack)- the hag doth wear death about her as a cloak.Some who met her doth vanish. Others perish with bloody work upon their bodies. there are hints of creatures made of stone, and a hag, a bent, old woman. Ever old but growing no older, in a span that hath taken be from my boyhodd to mine own age!
Garret- Can you tell me where to find her?
Drept(nearly dead of fear)- She doth seek her victims now in Auldale, but twas in shalebrige that her murders didst begin. Seekest thou there upon her trail. Tis the only place I hath spied her for certain but i dare never go there.
Garret- Thats a good place to start looking, i have no interest in being the latest in her string of murders...
(Garret becomes invisible upon entering the shadows as he takes his leave)
WARNING: IF YOU ARE FAINT OF HEART HAVE A DEFIBULATOR HANDY UPON ENTERING THE SHALEBRIGE CRADLE.

In the tradition of abusing the amazon review system, I give thief 3 five stars, though I have not played it.
What a shame

Reviewer: Hardee from England
Thief Deadly Shadows has been in production for four years. As a fan of the original Thief games, I have been looking forward to this for a very long time. The Internet community were amazed at the stylish graphics and the apparent "old style" voices and characteristics. The final product couldn't have been further from the truth.
I downloaded let's say an "early" version of the game. I seriously doubt the next month until release is going to change anything gameplay wise. I was incredibly disappointed to find that all of the appealing features of the original games have been dumbed down for the likes of the Xbox kiddies. Yes that's right folks, instead of rope arrows you now have "climbing gloves". Which means you can climb pretty much any surface to escape guards, that is unless they use arrows. This is annoying because as soon as you see a threat, you can simply climb a wall and watch the guard taunt you with three .wav files of "taffer" insults until he forgets you're there. A new addition to the game - guards can and will, rarely, climb or ascend ladders - though it doesn't matter anyway. One because there are pretty much no ladders - hell, there aren't even many stairs in the game, because that would mean the Xbox would have to load a level bigger than a front room. Two, they take so long getting off a ladder you can stab them with the dagger before they even find their feet.
Yes you heard me correctly, of the game I've played, there are virtually no floors in the mansions with the exception of the training mission. Remember the huge, four-floored mansions in Thief 2? You'll be lucky to get two floors in Deadly Shadows. Remember the huge amount of secrets and hidden bits in the levels? There are practically none, a lot like the recent debacle of the Deus Ex sequel. That's gaming evolution for you. If there are huge buildings to venture through, these are accompanied by lovely two to three minute loading times, which make you forget you're even in the same building. Even the outside sections have loading times, and it sent me insane.
One of the earlier "levels" consists almost entirely of zombies which are so low and lumbering you can just speed past them. Stealthy. At least this mission didn't have the atmosphere of a public toilet like the first two did.
I really haven't played this game for that long, but I felt I had to write a review of it, and am finding it increasingly hard to try to like this game. Looks like Ion Storm killed the Thief series at this moment, and it shall be interesting to see what other people think.
Good
Training mission excellent
FMV's are in the style of the old games
Graphics look quite nice
Bad
Looks like Splinter Cell (third-person view is default)
Every mission is a mansion/castle
Loot received message takes up half the damn screen
Needs Windows XP to run
Be careful

Make sure to check the req. I know I didn't.
Who would of thought a game would only work for windows 2000? I personally have stuck with 98,and well, thief doesnt work with any other OS.
the pictures are looking great and the new stuff are amazing

I used a $10 Amazon gift certificate, so the game came to me free. I agree with the other reviews about this game, so I won't bother to expand on what they say; they've covered it all.
Great game!

I have recently played theif 3 at my neighbors house for xbox and noticed that it is optional to use a 3rd person view as well as 1st person view i would like to know if this is the same for pc. Also the 3 stars is because i liked it on xbox but havent tried it for pc so i gave an average score.
disappointed not supported for joystick

I previously played Thief The Dark Project with a CD from Sold Out, which was joystick supported. I spent hours with a tingling back. It was so much easier playing with the joystick. Unfortunately, Deadly Shadows does not support joysticks. This is a BIG issue with me, otherwise the graphics & look with the 3rd person is unique and I still like it, but hate using a keyboard.
