Come on, guys, Thief is a video game and having your vision tampered with is really annoying in a game that tries to be challenging.

Losing one eye doesn't blur the vision in the remaining one, having one ripped out by a dryad might make the other one water a bit initially but that would pass and you'd be a bit woozy from the loss of blood & associated trauma, which from memory shows up in your health bar as a loss of health points, it's been a while since I played the OM so please someone correct me if I'm wrong there
The biggest effect would be loss of depth information with the switch from stereoscopic to monoscopic or monocular vision and the largest effect of that is an inability to judge distance for objects that are close, for distant objects you already use the size more than stereo vision effects
Shooting an arrow at a target depends more on the sight from your dominant eye than the fact you have two eyes, how many people close one eye when aiming ?
Because you're playing a game displayed on a screen, you're already using monoscopic/monocular vision instead of stereoscopic unless you've been using an oculus rift somehow
Essentially you play the entire game with one eye already

I love these demiserious threads :D

I too found it odd that losing an eye had no effect on in-game eyesight.
Reminds me of a similar query I had about Dishonored: how is Corvo still able to zoom in after taking his mask off for the between-mission sections? The zoom function is given by the mask?
Or getting back to Theif, how exactly is Garrett zooming in in T1 when he uses the bow?
Game eyes just work wirdly I guess.

I Reminds me of the cracks on the lens in Outlast. The options were to not use the videocamera and have no night vision, or use it and have cracks running across the screen :) Great game though.

IIRC it's supposed to be a spyglass you're using, hence why the zooming is identical in Dishonored 2 regardless of which character you play.

I always wondered if Garretts Eye gave him the ability to use Scouting orbs or is it anyone can use them which begs the question why guards arnt using them to spy-out an area. Surely they are smart enough to simply move a seated spier's chair after he tosses it into a corner. A human got to be better then those Mech watchers, and being TV monitors probably doesn't fit in with the steampunk theme, it would be the next best thing.

As far as I'm aware Karras made Garretts eye & designed it to work with scouting orbs, so Garrett is the only one who can use them, I always wondered why they'd be in someone else's armoury if they are Garrett specific kit

Maybe Karras or the Children can also use them?
