SOME OF YOU ASKED FOR IT. AND NOW YOU'RE GONNA GET IT.

Put your taffing hats and your tap shoes on, kids, we're going back to the dark, foreboding, dark fantasy world of "The City," where the only criminals in town who aren't locked up are Garrett and his lovelorn friend Basso the Boxman. Forget about zombies and burricks, this one is the best Thief! Look at that level design! Forgive the incredibly depressing intro, which I was hoping would go so over the top that people might get a laugh from it. My god, I forgot the pure joy of playing good games and not making 45 minute videos about them! There won't be a Thief episode again for a little while because I have a couple of seasonal spooky games for October. One of them is "The Suffering." No, not also "Ties That Bind."  I was gonna do it years ago for October but the game wasn't cooperating. The game cooperated (with a community patch that didn't exist last time I tried to play this game) and it's coming at you in 4k. The ghost of Stan Winston smiles upon it._________________________________

If you'd like to have a different name in the credits than what you pledged with, leave me a comment, or DM me on here or Twitter or discord or whatever. If your name is wrong, not included, or anything else, shoot me a message calling me an asshole and telling me to fix it.

Or if you want one of those fancy colored names that everyone gets now if they want. The credits in the video are usually a couple of days behind the actual patron list so if you don't see your name,  it will be in the next upload.

I was literally just rewatching the DNF It's Happening Again video and like 30 seconds after he said "So did Petty Thief, but I'm thinking of bringing it back.", this appears in my inbox. A good Monday indeed!

FunkEngine

Time for a bit of the old "Thud! And Blunder" again eh?

Kiros

Glad to see Petty Thief come back. Ever played the Shadows of the Metal Age mod? I started that after replaying the first two games and it looked decent enough but I was all Thief'd out by that point.

Hell yea, love the thief video series.

Petty Thief! The first series got me into the games in the first place. Glad to see it back.

Beers

I actually enjoyed the first petty thief.

Karle Sleith

Hey Civvie, I messaged you a few months back about wanting to see more Thief, I know the YouTube algorithim probably doesn't wanna show it, but it's easily the most underrated series on the channel, it's really appreciated and you made my Monday

Hella

Hope to see more of this after the spooks, I missed this series. Also can't wait for your takes on The Suffering. Awesome game.

Uncoolest_Evar

What a weird coincidence. I've just been playing through the Thief games partly cause I wanted to test this mod that lets me play in 3D over VR. Glad to see I'm not the only one who's had Thief on the brain since the Gloomwood release.

gill

that johnny carson reference was pretty good

Yarden

Yay more Thief, loved the first series!

1event_Horizon9

Sweet, more Thief. I appreciate some of these niche game videos for games I will never play. They just aren't my jam but I like Civvie's enthusiasm for the series.

LoveSack

The best thief game 💕

NecroPotato

This might just inspire me to actually beat Thief 2

Greg Hughes

YYYEEESSSS! Love Petty Thief series!

Pauli Pippola

Nice to see more petty Thief! Always liked the earlier videos, very atmospheric, and you make it look so easy. And Benny is such a lad, bless his heart.

INSANITORIUM STUDIOS!

Hey Civvie, not sure if you'll see this, but I noticed I'm not in the patron list... Unless I looked in the wrong place?

civvie11

It's possible. Patreon doesn't always notify me of a new patron when I'm making the credits. I'll make sure it gets into the next video.

civvie11

I just checked and your name is in the I's.

INSANITORIUM STUDIOS!

. . . And that's because I forgot it uses the name on Patreon, not the one on Discord. XD I'm such a dumb when I wake up ... Sorry to waste your time there, Civvie!

civvie11

I WANT MY 15 SECONDS BACK. I HAD TO OPEN AN IMAGE, SCROLL, REMEMBER WHAT LETTERS COME BEFORE AND AFTER THE LETTER I, CONSULT AN OLD EPISODE OF SESAME STREET, AND THEN COME BACK.

Valora Inverse

Yesssssssssss! Very glad to see this!

civvie11

nah it's fine all patreon pledges grant you worthiness

INSANITORIUM STUDIOS!

Heh... I'll send you a ping on Discord so you know who you've had to muck about in PNGs for. :)

Cygnus

PRAISE CIVVIE!.... And the Builder.

Kouhstipher

Thank You Civvie! This is my favorite game in the Thief Series.

civvie11

I didn’t know about this but the last Thief video had dancing zombies

zuqusz

Nice. Hopefully Gloomwood's launch helps these videos out, these are great games.

TheKindlyOnes

Havent got to watch the video yet... BUT YES!!!!!! THE SUFFERING!!! I love that game and totally been waiting and hoping!!!

fuxbox

Theif .... Gay

civvie11

You spelled Thief wrong, used ellipses incorrectly, and then used the word “gay” like a middle schooler. You didn’t get a single thing right in this post.

Pyrexis

I really liked the petty thief stuff so glad to see more.

Macdeth

So happy for the return to Thief. Your episodic videos are always a treat.

Devin McIntyre

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck yes, I love this series so much

fuxbox

True. But still 😄

Argon Productions

Yesssssssss. Thank you Civvie. Since I know every inch of this game, just like the last one, can't help myself with a few notes: -Looks like you're playing vanilla in widescreen? I've played with HD Mod and TFix the last few years and it does alter the experience quite a bit; especially NewMantle -"Hey Civvie, did you know about the really obscure Easter Egg in Shipping & Receiving where you can get the explicit text about Truart soliciting prostitution?" -Kilgor and the Hammer are supposed to walk inside the bay after the conversation and disappear from the map but it's quite easy to break that script. -Also think it's worth mentioning the difference between the vanilla release and the first patch from 2000, one of the largest patches I've seen for any game... vanilla 1.07 is quite obviously unfinished, detail-wise, 1.18 is worthy of an extra point on review scores, it's that significant IMO -Even playing the patched 1.18 I actually disagree with you about the state of the game. I absolutely adore T2 but many areas are boxy and void of detail, even in 1.18, compared to TG. Thank you!

This is what Nick Valentine did before the war

Everyone has to make rent somehow

It boggles my mind that the Thief vids don't get more views than they do as fantastic and entertaining as they are to watch. Petty Thiefs are absolutely some of my favorites despite the fact that I have never played more than a handful of hours of any of the actual games. I know they are great games but my library of un-played games is just outrageous with cheap bundles everywhere. Anyway, keep 'em coming! I tell everyone that will listen to watch these things and spread the Gospel of Garrett. Great work as always Civvie!
