Op 3D ActionPlanet is een artikel geplaatst over 8 ideëen die niet in Thief 3 zouden moeten zitten. Zo kan je lezen dat het spel geen geweld zou moeten bevatten en dat ze de serie in een moderner jasje zouden moeten steken. Dus vaarwel zwaard, welkom dubbele magnums 7. Make Thief 3 a Non-Violent Game

Why does Garrett always have to shoot people in the face with arrows? Why does he have to burn zombies with Flashbombs? Why does he whack servants in the back of the head with a sock full of pennies? In light of the millions lawsuits again game companies, it might seem like a good idea to curb violence in Thief 3.

So how about rather than frying the zombies, he leads them back to their graves, puts them back in their coffin, and buries them again? Wouldn't that be the considerate thing to do? How about rather than whack servants with the blackjack, he just taps them and hopes they catch the hint? How about spitballs instead of arrows? And if guards catch up to him, how about they talk out their problems instead of resorting to violence? Doesn't it sound more fun already?Het hele artikel moet je uiteraard met een korrel zout nemen De andere 7 punten vind je in het volledige artikel.
