The biggest problem, at least in my opinion, was that combat was viable at all. In the earlier games, getting caught was pretty much a guaranteed death sentence.
Who gives a fuck? Nerd.

If you ignore the plot, characters and generally overly grimdark setting it's a really solid and fun game. The overworld is a massive pain the ass though.
I'd say the original Thief was definitely pretty dark... spoopy even, at times
Is there a difference between just dark and grimdark?
it was like a poor man's dishonored instead of a thief game, and it didn't really do anything as well as dishonored did. all in all, it wasn't THAT bad. it was just bad if you went in expecting something like the originals.
Combat was entirely viable in the early games assuming you weren't a retard, you just didn't get the satisfaction of being able to slip around entirely unnoticed.
Thi4f was shit because the levels were even more linear than Deadly Shadows and there was this strange focus on Garret being some kind of "hero" when at most he supposed to be a taffer with bills to pay and a specific skill set.

I think it is just the overall tone of the game. It's like comparing 80's Warhammer to modern Warhammer.
>Dark
>Phantoms of clerics haunt ancient cathedrals where you have to sneak through to steal an artefact
>Grimdark
>Sneak through a brothel while prostitutes lament their sexual diseases and cockrings, everything is dirty and shitty and wet.
It's like a mix of striving for WOW SO REALISTIC ((but just edgy instead)) and WOW ADULT THEMES ((but not really))
To me what really ruined it was all the modern game/movie tropes...
>the main character becoming a hero, even gaining super powers
>main character has less experienced female sidekick who starts off as a little bitch, whom you follow in tutorial fashion during the first mission
>etc
It was perhaps poor wording on my part. Combat was viable in the earlier games, true. But there was quite a bit of effort involved to make that happen.
In the new game, you can get into prolonged fights with guards and come out on top, rather easily even.
Faggot e-celeb cock worshipers get the fuck out.
First one has humor.
Thi4f is just edgy.
>take out the stealth triple pack from the library
>play deus ex
>test out the other games
>thief is broken
>tell it to the librarian
>they put it on the repair shelf
>couple months later it's been removed altogether from the catalog
