I'm really psyched about the release of this game. I've played both Thief games and it's one of my favourite series ever.

A couple of previews:

Some new stuff includes being able to climb walls, frame innocent bystanders and the fact that they've recorded 200,000 words for the AI to use. It adds to the feeling when they don't say the same 4 phrases over and over again regardless of what's happening around them. For example, when Garett climbs a wall to escape a few guards, one of them looks up and says "I'll get you when you decide to come back down."

Excellent.
