Please don't make in an achievement, please don't make in an achievement, please don't make in an achievement..
It's purely my own issue but I always feel obliged to attempt achievements like that when they come along and often at the expense of my own enjoyment as I repeatedly restart to ensure that perfect run.
Stupid of me, I know, but that's how I am and I hope they don't make it an achievement for that reason.

The thing I'm worried about is the fact that they're saying this as if it is something to be hyped up and excited about.
Yes it is very nice to see Thief allow a no kill run. But the fact somebody had the need to come out and say this seems to imply that this person believed other people thought Thief wouldn't turn out this way, which is weird.
I understand that you killed people in the Thief games (The Trickster (maybe), Karras (sort of maybe, again), and Gamal (I guess, sort of maybe.)
Okay, so the above paragraph... structure. If it can be called that. Seems sort of weak. But what I want to say boils down to this: Why are they revealing this as if it is something new? Yes, I understand that mainstream games have all the killing in the world. But Thief was not expected to be a mainstream game. I don't know anybody that was worried about the Thief games forcing you to kill somebody and I don't understand why the developers felt the need to explicitly state that. Maybe they were just a little worried that people would think that Thief wasn't going very well and simply said that reassure people and it is as innocent as it sounds.
On the other hand, saying that Thief would have no killing sort of sounds like one of those scenes in a cartoon where a character says something like: "Yep, ABSOLUUUUUTELY nothing happening over here! The sink definitely did not explode!" And you can tell they're lying or hiding something.
So seeing the developers go: "Yep! Thief 4 totally allows a no kill playthrough!" I can't help but think: "WHAT DID YOU DOOOO?"

So what the devs are saying are they will allow Lethe style play which you could do in all the previous titles and they are announcing this as if its some never before seen feature to wow people? As a veteran thief player I have to say of this announcement that my jimmies are so far unrustled about this new thief game.
Meh I don't much like the 'kill nobody' trophy/achievement.
I got 3/4 the way through Deus Ex: HR without killing anybody but it just got boring and I never went back to finish it. Plus I MAY have accidentally killed someone...when I knocked him out his body fell off the edge of the building does that count as a murder? I think it does.

You took the words right out my mouth. This statement its so obvious to ANY Thief fan, that makes you wonder if the develoeprs actually played the original game to being with.MrCalavera said:
