Not necessarily. 10 or more years have passed since the ending of the last game and this one. A lot can, and apparently has, change in that long of a time span.
NuThief exists in a separate universe than the THIEF Universe...therefore, any familiar elements that happen to be implemented in the NuThief Universe, are irrelevant and inconsequential to the history and cosmology of the classic universe.

They're close enough in style and story to say that nuThief is obviously building upon the base set up by the previous three.

Combine that with a map that implied that these tiny areas composed most of the city, and you end up with a very small city. I hate how tiny the areas are anyway, but to compensate they shouldn't have implied that they represented the entire districts. That made things even worse. They should have implied that they were small "points of interest" within much larger districts and a much larger city. The first two games did a better job of that.
Yes, that was my main qualm with Thief 3 compared with the other games, a complete lack of continuity when it came to the City

There wasn't so much a lack of continuity as a lack of size in the districts. I agree with Weasel - the way it was done made the City seem small.
The City mapping project was a testament to how unclear the actual layout was in Thief 1 and 2.

Yeah the size itself was extremely annoying, but apparently it ended up that way because of Xbox limitations and the devs were rushed to complete the game before it was finished. The City layout in T1 and 2 was nebulous, but still somewhat coherent before T3 came along and drastically changed it.

... cosmology? Really?

Yes...meaning the nature of the construction of the virtual universe itself...with its own uniquely simulated physics, meta-physics, and planes of existence.

... It's a video game, not an altered state of being. A well-crafted video game, yes, but still a video game. And that's not what cosmology means anyway.

The THIEF Universe, is a simulated universe, with a game component...I never mentioned an "altered state of being"...although sufficient immersion can produce that.

And with that, I officially quit Thief.
(I just want to play a game, not find a f*&^ing religion)
