In a recent blog post on the Eidos Montreal community page, staff member Adam Badke stated the following:

Players will have multiple ways to approach their objectives and each objective can be reached using Garretts various tools, by exploring and by playing with your environment.

Each path comes with a set of challenges, encounters and looting opportunities. Difficulty options allow the experience to be scaled for hardcore fans of the original series, but to also let newcomers have a lot of fun. And yes, you can complete the game without killing anybody Garrett is a Master Thief, not a killing machine!

 

the blog in question.

Day 1 unless they completely screw this up (like outsourcing boss fights again..).

No, REALLY? But I wanted a 4 hour linear COD fest with objective arrows everywhere topped of with a lame multiplayer suite.

Glowing collectables would be a nice touch as well.

That's great and all, but it means nothing if playing merciful is boring as hell. Dishonored suffered immensely from this: Sure, you could go through the game without killing a soul, but you had to choke them. EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. Forget using any of the fancy gadgets we gave you, or that badass knife.

You could complete the other games in the series the same way if memory serves. Unless you count killing zombies and udnead, which would make the games much, much tougher.

Great news. Many people aren't surprised by this. But hearing Thief 4 will be like previous thief games is great news in a time where so many series get dumbed down or become clones with their latest entries.

Soooooo ... what if you kill yourself ? :?

That's just you.

I'm the exact opposite. Dishonored is boring as hell if you go around killing everyone. It's much more fun to ghost through the game without killing anyone. My pacifist playthrough was the most fun and satisfying. I've never even killed anyone other than the main targets on any of my playthroughs. I tried doing a high chaos playthrough, and I got bored on the first level. Not everyone like guns blazing.

And the remark on having to "choke every single one". You obviously must not play stealth games, I maybe had to choke about 3 or 4 guys in the whole game.

I find it every hard to beileave that anybody would not get bored with sneaking to the end game.

News flash: that's exactly what the whole stealth genre is about.

Actually if you hit someone in the head and they go unconscious for over 5 minutes, chances are you did some serious brain damage and possibly killed them.

Just like Dishonored beat the game once by killing and then the next time not killing anyone.
