Thief: Deadly Shadows is the third game of the Thief series. It was developed by Ion Storm, with many Looking Glass employees moving there, and published in 2004 by Eidos Interactive. A new game didn't emerge until a decade later.Along with missions like in the first two games, you can now control Garrett through The City to go between areas and missions, pickpocket occasional passers-by and obtain additional sidequests. It also included perspective switches and the ability to stand against walls as a stealth mechanic.The same year also saw a mobile phone tie-in.The first game concentrated its storyline on the Hammerites and the Pagans, the second game on the Mechanists — essentially replacing the former, and Deadly Shadows finally shows more insight into the Keepers and the challenges they face. Though Garrett still insists on wanting no association with the order after he left them at a younger age, he's more willing to cooperate with them after the events of the second game. Slowly but surely, he's drawn into a growing string of mysteries from the Keepers' past... | |

Blamed for Being Railroaded | |
| Thief: Deadly Shadows (Video Game) / int_10fe7cc1 | comment |
Blamed for Being Railroaded: In one mission, you can meet a blind, delusional widow who owns the mansion you've broken into in search of a MacGuffin. You also find a note from her late husband explaining that the large bag of money in a nearby chest should allow her to live well without him. If you don't steal the money, a few levels later she sends you a letter and a gift. Unfortunately, on Expert difficulty, you have to take the money to meet the 90% loot requirement* (The game requires you to complete the main objective AND to steal a specific minimum of loot from the entire area to complete a mission)... which causes her to send an assassin after you instead. Notably, the Sneaky Upgrade community mod changes the loot list to allow the player to steal 100% of the loot in the Manor without taking the applicable item. | |

Villain Ball | |
| Thief: Deadly Shadows (Video Game) / int_1cc2ea8d | comment |
Villain Ball: Gamall gets an example of this in Deadly Shadows. She was smart enough to take the Glyph of Unbinding away from the Keepers, but she didn't destroy it or put it somewhere where nobody could find it. Instead, she took it to her lair. On top of this, she wrote a crazed rant about it in which she explained why Garret would want it (it destroys her stone guardians), how he can utilize it (bind it to his blackjack), and how to use it (smack the golem in the back of the head with it). Last but not least, she left this rant right next to the Glyph itself. | |

Ascended Fanboy | |
| Thief: Deadly Shadows (Video Game) / int_246c5b47 | comment |
Ascended Fanboy: By this time, Garrett seems to have a lot of admirers among co-workers as well as foes. One petty crook tries to pass himself off as Garrett to a possible customer (and fails). A female example that occurs is Marla Madison, a young fence that is basically Garrett's "greatest fangirl". Predictably, Garrett has a good laugh at the impostor's expense and is fairly annoyed by Marla's ditzy advances. | |

Frame-Up: Midway through the game, Garrett is taken into custody and put on trial for the murder of Caduca, to such an extent that he is functionally "restrained" to a chair imbued with a glyph at its perimeter that doesn't allow him to escape. He takes the first opportunity possible to slip his captors and escape, and for most of the remainder of the plot, he is pursued by Keeper "Enforcers" that will stalk him throughout the City. | |

Who Watches the Watchmen? | |
| Thief: Deadly Shadows (Video Game) / int_4503f7d4 | comment |
Who Watches the Watchmen?: In Deadly Shadows, it's clear that the Keepers have become this. While they obsessively watch and chronicle other factions and events in The City, they record very little of their own history. This is what allowed Gamall the ability to rise unchecked. One note in the game even asks the question: "Who keeps the Keepers?" | |

Vagueness Is Coming | |
| Thief: Deadly Shadows (Video Game) / int_45ad2569 | comment |
Vagueness Is Coming: The "Unwritten Times" where the Keepers' prophecies fail are foretold in some of their rarest tomes. There's precious little detail on what these Times actually involve or how to avert them. Garrett causes them because it's literally the only way to stop the Big Bad now that she's warded herself to invulnerability with glyph magic. | |

Big Fancy House: The Overlook Manor of the Moira family is the mansion mission of the game. The building somewhat subverts the trope by being spacious and cosy, but not all that opulent or luxurious. The whole dwelling looks as if it has seen better days. | |

Body Horror: Pretty much anything to do with The Hag. She does much worse than eat children alive. In fact, eating a child alive would be kind compared to what she does to at least one. Then there's her body, which is a vaguely humanoid mass of flesh studded with eyes and mouths, most of which do not appear to be under her control. | |

Friendly Enemy | |
| Thief: Deadly Shadows (Video Game) / int_5aa8d3d8 | comment |
Friendly Enemy: The Hammerites and Pagans, initially, hold this attitude towards Garrett once they write to him after stealing the Builder's Chalice and Jacknall's Paw (sacred items), respectively. Compare this to the previous games, where both factions were out-and-out enemies and would generally attack Garrett on sight. (The Pagans justify their changed stance by noting that Viktoria, who sacrificed herself in the final mission of the last game is the only reason why they haven't explicitly gone after him.) Do a few odd jobs for either of them (kill Iron Mites or shoot Moss Arrows into black cornerstones) and they'll warmly welcome you into their strongholds — even allowing Garrett to take one of their prized items in the final mission if you're on "Allied" terms with the Pagans. | |

Justified Tutorial: Pavelock Prison, in the event that Garrett is "killed" by the City Watch for the first time. You need to escape from prison, and the game will give you a refresher course (by necessity) on how to sneak, steal and escape — while also teaching the usage of Oil Flasks, which will come in handy during later missions. | |

| Thief: Deadly Shadows (Video Game) / int_69ed963a | comment |
Not So Omniscient After All: The Keepers love to play The Omniscient and their Omniscient Morality License for all it's worth, given they have a vast body of accurate (if vague) prophecy that they've used to successfully influence the City over centuries. This game is one big Not So Omniscient... moment for them as the edifice of prophecy starts to fall down around their ears by prophesying its own end. | |

Cosmetic Award | |
| Thief: Deadly Shadows (Video Game) / int_6e7e9709 | comment |
Cosmetic Award: This time around, the game has several items that can either be acquired or unlocked for Garrett's apartment. The "Practice Locks" are a semi-example — they cost a good chunk of cash to acquire, but their importance is functionally-useless, as the player can already get practice on locks throughout the game to not need to rely on them. Decide to leave the inheritance the widow in Moira Manor had left by her late husband, and she will reward you later in the game with a letter and an expensive bottle of wine you can find waiting for you at your apartment. Completing the Pagan sidequest (fire Moss Arrows at all 15 cornerstones throughout the City) will result in them dropping off a miniature tree at your apartment that confers a trio of Moss Arrows. | |

Waif Prophet | |
| Thief: Deadly Shadows (Video Game) / int_6f7c8268 | comment |
Waif Prophet: Translator Gamall, Caduca's apprentice. She is very young but has uncanny insight in translating the glyphs despite her age, though she has been shown to require correction from Caduca at least once. Subverted as she is secretly the Hag, the true villain of the game who used shapeshifting magic to steal the form of a young girl years ago so she could insinuate herself into the Keepers as an apprentice and work her way into a position of power and control. Gamall carefully crafted everything about this persona. | |

Revisiting the Roots | |
| Thief: Deadly Shadows (Video Game) / int_8eb3d48f | comment |
Revisiting the Roots: Deadly Shadows is in many ways a blend of the sensibilities of the first two games, but it recalls the style of the first one a bit more, without being a homage. It has a tighter story focus, more firmly medieval set dressing with less overt steampunk, a slightly more supernatural tone, and a smaller, humbler assortment of gadgets. All this while also keeping the narrative and gameplay focus on The City and on the mundane heist missions, just like the second game. | |

Fate and Prophecy Tropes | |
| Thief: Deadly Shadows (Video Game) / int_916a1f69 | comment |
Fate and Prophecy Tropes: Prophecy has always had an important place in the series, but as Deadly Shadows focuses strongly on the Keepers, this particular game is swarming with applicable tropes. Blind Seer: Interpreter Caduca is blind, but can "read" the glyphs by touching them. Blindness isn't a requirement of the position, and her predecessor praised her for the unique clarity she had when reading the glyphs in this manner when he recommended her for promotion into his role. The Fatalist: The Keepers, right up until they reach a prophecy that suggests the end of their role. Then they're all in favor of trying to Screw Destiny. Garrett fits this more by the end of the game than they do. Not So Omniscient After All: The Keepers love to play The Omniscient and their Omniscient Morality License for all it's worth, given they have a vast body of accurate (if vague) prophecy that they've used to successfully influence the City over centuries. This game is one big Not So Omniscient... moment for them as the edifice of prophecy starts to fall down around their ears by prophesying its own end. The Prophecy: Prophecy is a mess. It's not a single prophecy, but untold hundreds of fragmentary prophecies uncovered through scribes engaging in automatic writing, as well as from ancient books. Most of them refer to one another, providing clues for how to interpret each other so that with intensive study one might glean a useful fact about the future. "Useful" if you can guess accurately who they even refer to, since they identify people not by names but by titles like "Brethren and Betrayer," which may get reused across different prophecies as different people play the same roles. (Garrett was almost certainly the Brethren and Betrayer of earlier games, but it seems to point to the Big Bad in this game.) And some of the glyphs are rewriting themselves immediately after being written. Prophecies Are Always Right: They're often vague, but glyph prophecies haven't been proven conclusively wrong once in the series. Garrett has managed to thwart the previous two dark ages warned about by the glyphs, but the prophecies are not merely warning the Keepers about the Unwritten Times — they are coming. Prophecy Twist: Several. A big one in particular is that when "time stops" then the "evil one(s)" will be pointed out. Garrett stops the clock tower, but in so doing accidentally causes it to collapse and point straight at First Keeper Orland's office in the Keeper Compound. But it wasn't pointing at Orland so much as the Keepers in general, calling them out on the dangers of their secrecy and complacency. Self-Fulfilling Prophecy: The Keepers want to watch what happens, because they don't think it's their place to get involved, even when glyphs and events refer to them directly. Their reluctance to act enables certain prophecies to come true. Sliding Scale of Free Will vs. Fate: Firmly on the side of Because Destiny Says So but the Unwritten Times come with the destruction of glyph magic, suggesting all along prophecy would eventually screw itself. Tomes of Prophecy and Fate: Hundreds if not thousands of tomes of prophecy collected in the Keeper Compound, with one that Garrett has to find (along with a magic key to open it). The Big Bad has spent years stealing away important tomes with secrets of her defeat. Vagueness Is Coming: The "Unwritten Times" where the Keepers' prophecies fail are foretold in some of their rarest tomes. There's precious little detail on what these Times actually involve or how to avert them. Garrett causes them because it's literally the only way to stop the Big Bad now that she's warded herself to invulnerability with glyph magic. Waif Prophet: Translator Gamall, Caduca's apprentice. She is very young but has uncanny insight in translating the glyphs despite her age, though she has been shown to require correction from Caduca at least once. Subverted as she is secretly the Hag, the true villain of the game who used shapeshifting magic to steal the form of a young girl years ago so she could insinuate herself into the Keepers as an apprentice and work her way into a position of power and control. Gamall carefully crafted everything about this persona. You Can't Fight Fate: The Unwritten Times may not have come true if the villain hadn't worked so hard to prevent it. Everything she did resulted in the pieces being in the right place for Garrett to find them and put together her secrets. | |

Nothing Is the Same Anymore: The state of the Keepers at the conclusion as all of the Glyphs have vanished and their tower is now visible to anyone. As one Keeper laments, "What will become of the city without us?" As Garret is the only person who owns a Glyph now, he becomes the leader of the Keepers and its implied they're running fine with him in charge. | |

Knife Fight | |
| Thief: Deadly Shadows (Video Game) / int_9c20a410 | comment |
Knife Fight: Garrett has traded his shorter sword from the previous two games for a stealthier simple dagger. It's also slightly less tricky for occasional backstabs than the sword was. There is a dummied out, ultimately unused model for the third game's sword, but it was ditched early in development, when the team decided to emphasise that players should avoid swordfights. | |

Hyperspace Arsenal | |
| Thief: Deadly Shadows (Video Game) / int_9c7e3137 | comment |
Hyperspace Arsenal: Unlike the previous entries, where Garrett would either voluntarily (or forcibly) lose the majority of his stockpile of trick arrows and items between levels, the game lets you keep Garrett's acquired cash, loot and items between levels, making it a much more prevalent example of this trope. At maximum, Garrett can carry nearly 100 trick arrows of various types, multiple types of anti-undead equipment (five flasks of Holy Water and five Oil Flasks), flashbombs and explosive mines. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Thief: Deadly Shadows (Video Game) / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: A very subtle and well-done job throughout the whole game foreshadowing the Hag as the true villain. Frequent but low-key references create a constant background hum that builds up the feel of a creepy urban legend very effectively. Related, in that Caduca corrects little Gamall on getting a translation wrong. Gamall did it intentionally, hinting she's not all what she claims to be, and is malevolent. | |

| Thief: Deadly Shadows (Video Game) / int_ac1a6ce3 | comment |
Cute Ghost Girl: Lauryl from the infamously haunted Shalebridge Cradle isn't all that scary once you get to know her. She's a subversion of sorts, since she appears as a ghostly blob of light with the shadow of a small girl. She's helpful and kindly, showing Garrett various clues about the Cradle's dark past and guiding him out. After both of them leave the Cradle and enter the alleys of Old Quarter, the guards start fleeing in terror at the sight of Lauryl's ghostly appearance. For once, Garrett can take it easy with stealth in the City's streets. Funny stuff. | |

Bedlam House/Abandoned Hospital: The Shalebridge Cradle was this before it became an abandoned wellspring of evil, but after it was an orphanage. Notes left around the place tell how bad it was. Level designer Jordan Thomas says that the establishment's creators honestly meant well and were quite forward-thinking, but tremendous costs, the class divide, primitive techniques and a series of disasters turned the place into a nightmarish cage. For example, a clockmaker checked himself in after a nervous episode, was treated, and pronounced fit to leave. Due to a mix-up, he was then accidentally given extremely painful electroshock therapy, turning him into a massive headcase who had to be locked up with the most dangerous patients. | |

Developer's Foresight | |
| Thief: Deadly Shadows (Video Game) / int_d24ed873 | comment |
Developer's Foresight: If you never sell the Kurshok Crown, you won't have to steal it in the final level (and Garrett's voiced narration actually changes to reflect the fact that he has three of the five needed items, even pointing out that he - i.e. the player — was smart not to sell it). But they don't make it easy for you: if you didn't sell the Crown, but head for the fence who buys stolen jewelry after exiting the Museum with all the other loot, you can accidentally sell the Kurshok Crown and break the ending because you cannot buy back the Crown. So the seemingly hard way is actually the easier way: If you do sell the Crown, and have to steal it from the Museum, the Crown becomes a protected item and you will be unable to accidentally sell it, a handy feature in the chaos and confusion at the end of the game. | |

Anti-Frustration Features | |
| Thief: Deadly Shadows (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3 | comment |
Anti-Frustration Features: When roaming the City hub world, the first time Garrett gets "killed" by the City Watch, he'll be taken to Pavelock Prison, a sort of bonus-level where Garrett is locked in a prison cell, when a brainless guard basically hands him the keys to escape. Rather than punish new players who aren't used to the game yet for their mistakes, the Pavelock Prison level allows players a second chance to get a handle on what to do, how to move, how to sneak, how to steal, etc... and even introduces the oil flask gadget. And to cap it all, the prison is only one level, rather than story missions which are split into two areas, meaning it isn't too long or confusing. Contrarily, it's actually very linear. In a change from the first two games, Garrett no longer loses his amassed money and/or special arrows/bombs between levels, ostensibly to give the player much more flexibility in terms of enemy engagement. This becomes most notable when engaging the undead under Fort Ironwood or on the Abysmal Gale, which normally requires high usage of Flashbombs, Holy Water and/or Oil Flasks — which are all in long supply at the various stores throughout the City. To save on clicking, merely hitting the sweet spot during the lockpicking minigame and hovering on it for a couple seconds will automatically unlock the tumbler. While taking a little longer to complete, this is much less taxing for players. | |

Fertile Blood: The intro for the first mission dealing with Pagans shows a Pagan cutting his palm in order to "water" a plant, which then grows exponentially faster than normal. | |

The Magic Goes Away: The end of the trilogy has all of the Glyphs vanishing, removing all of the magic from the town — save the last Glyph that resides on Garrett's right hand. | |

Red Herring: In Deadly Shadows, Garrett is led to believe that First Keeper Orland is the traitor when the ruins of the collapsed city clocktower point to his office. | |

Hub Level | |
| Thief: Deadly Shadows (Video Game) / int_e7eb0474 | comment |
Hub Level: The City streets that Garrett visits between missions. This is a departure from earlier games in the series, where Garret can go to fence his ill-gotten goods, pick up a little extra loot, buy the tools of his trade, and even do a few Side Quests should the mood take him. | |

Lockpicking Minigame | |
| Thief: Deadly Shadows (Video Game) / int_ea08697a | comment |
Lockpicking Minigame: Tumblers are represented by three to six rings (depending on the lock complexity) that appear in the bottom-right corner of the screen when picking a lock. Each ring has an opening on it that is invisible at first and has to be located with the mouse-controlled pick based on subtle clues (like sounds made by the lock). Once the opening on the outermost ring is found, its tumbler is set, and Garret moves on to the next one; setting all tumblers opens the lock. | |

Easily Forgiven | |
| Thief: Deadly Shadows (Video Game) / int_f36c4f98 | comment |
Easily Forgiven: Two of the early missions require Garrett to steal priceless artifacts of Hammerites and Pagans, which also involves robbing both of the places blind and possibly knocking unconscious or even killing various people in there. This, understandably, makes both factions rather mad at Garrett. What does it take for them to go from being hostile to considering him an ally? Why, just killing about 6 oversized bugs and covering about 7 cornerstones with moss, respectively. | |

Prophecies Are Always Right | |
| Thief: Deadly Shadows (Video Game) / int_f9636192 | comment |
Prophecies Are Always Right: They're often vague, but glyph prophecies haven't been proven conclusively wrong once in the series. Garrett has managed to thwart the previous two dark ages warned about by the glyphs, but the prophecies are not merely warning the Keepers about the Unwritten Times — they are coming. | |
