rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

Thief has been in hell since Looking Glass went under.

That said, I agree that Garrett has potential but that's only if you compare him to the rest of the world. On his own, he lacks any time of nuance or depth. Could he be fleshed out by an rper? Sure. There's stuff to work with, but it doesn't stop me from cringing every time I see him just because of how awful the game was.

I agree that the game isn't very good. I used to be way too into Thief but nowadays I'd hardly consider myself a purist and I'd still call the game problematic. It's buggy, unpolished and generally not quite finished. It's not just a poor Thief game it's a poor game in general (in my opinion, anyway). That said, I have to smile when I see someone RPing the new Garrett. At least the franchise is getting some attention. I mean, I've never seen anyone RPing the Garrett from the original trilogy even before the reboot. Including myself. This account is fairly old but I haven't used it in RP yet (maybe I should someday). Maybe some of the new fans will check out the old games and love those characters too. Imagine Father Karras in a game. A girl can dream.

Father Karras would be fun to play. However, I would be afraid that he'd fall into the category of not having enough history if anyone wanted to put him in a game. But, man, his nasally, rambling diatribes would be amazing.

Yeah, that's true. Karras might be appable in having a very well defined personality, speaking style and set of motives, though. History is a trip-up but we know a bit. He was mentioned in Thief Gold as having sent someone to Cragscleft for breaking into Bafford Manor and he was the one that made Garrett's eye. It's not much of a history but if you put that in the context of Hammerite history maybe you can come up with something for some kinds of apps.
