Considered 3rd person view? Why, on the first place? Thief 1,2 and 3 were 1st! 3rd person doesn´t work for me on FPS games! RPGs ok, FPS no! And i really hate when original games that worked in 1st suddenly have their sequels transformed in 3rd because some smartass thought it would be cute. I just hope they don´t ruin this like they did with Duke Nukem! Good decision here.

@SavoyPrime Join the club! If developers are smart, they will allow us to choose our approach, otherwise i will simply put the game aside as i have done with others.

Killing is part of the fun. Both with sneaky attacks or full frontal combat. I liked to hide in the shadows and then shoot enemies with arrows or club them and then hide the bodies. Above all, i want to be able to choose my approach. Hate games that force us to do things their way instead of allowing us to decide. I am not interested in achievements and awards. So i hope they do not ruin this and keep faithful to the original games.
