- we can see that his skills have improved in Thief 2. Very cool ability.
I think his mechanical Eye increased his latent psionic abilities(AD&D ruleset), or perhaps it was the trauma of losing his eye in T1 (telekinetic). His Eye may be acting as a psionic amplifier, due to the Scouting Orb connectivity.

i see post,my only comment is "climbing gloves" from thief 3
But you made more than one comment :p
The climbing gloves are clearly magical. Unless they somehow have an extreme magnetic interaction with stone and brick molecules

azaran you are wrong about gloves being magical,they were bought by the dock in shop,magic taken out of thief 3 over all, the way they worked was like ninja gloves
and my other comments were about d&d aspect of thief

Pardon me, do the clerics not use magic spells instead of weapons, isn't Gamall a witch using magic, etc. The premise of the Thief series is both science and magic exist. The ending cutscene only implies the magic of the keeper books, serving their purpose, has ended. Until the time loop begins again, another story.
Yes, there are scientific explanations to climbing gloves. Sticky toys, in our world, have been around over a decade. Similar materials may be used but it doesn't rule out magical means.
Do you believe there is a scientific explaination for moss arrows? Surely a gram or two of anything in our world is not going to deaden sound over a 3 meter area.

compared to what it was suppose to be magic is gone and post thief 3 no magic rumor is that thief 4 was going to be modern day/times,but not sci-fi with 0 magic

I am sure that modern day rumor lasted less than half a day with the development team. Sort of downgrades Garrett into a common pick-pocket or mugger. Oh, maybe, he would of had hacker skills which are not very action packed, hmm.
More likely, the team was trying to make the thief toolsets more realistic. Moving the game to a Cthulhu equivalent villain(godlike beings that society writes off as nut-job hysteria).
Oh maybe they wanted to make him like pop-culture Arrow tv series. That character had all kinds of fancy arrows.
