Dude, Thief started the sneaking genre. Your statement is basically analagous to "Doom? Never heard of it but I love Halo"

True, but MG's stealth vs. Thief's stealth isn't really a balanced comparison. MG was a shooter with some stealthy aspects to it. In Thief, you can literally play the entire series without ever killing anyone, or getting into combat at all. MG is still a combat game, whereas Thief definitely did define the stealth FPS genre, and give everything after it a basis to poach ideas from (like Deus Ex).

In that sense yes, it did originate the idea of not killing someone to make it through the game. I interpreted what he was saying as "Thief was the first game were you use stealth as a means to get around"

Since you were right about the Malazan books I suppose I'll have to take you up on this. Thief games are now on my list of games to play as soon as I finish far cry 2.

I remember seeing concept art for a cancelled Thief 4 a few years back that turned Garrett into an edgy parkour kid in a hoodie. Hopefully the studio that's doing it now (I think it's the same guys who are doing Deus Ex 3) leave that idea in the garbage.
