thanks for your suggestions! OMs are currently on hold since there are things with authors, original creators of the thief games, etc. planned, (and also there's private life which is pretty busy in my terms at the moment) but yeah we'd love to cover the next T2 OMs...but there's those other things :D
Nicked is already planned ;) and to the rest, Nex and Psych0sis are not so much into those topics so if you guys would like to join for a discussion about different topics like factions, lore etc. tell me :)

Debate between Cardia and Psych0sis about "Les Paolis". I am serious about this. Would love to hear their different viewpoints on design.
I'd have to actually stomach a playthrough of it and I think I'd rather just let the dude "win" on that one.

I see...you Taffers don't seem to be interested so much but just for your notice..we will have someone that was part of the creation of the original Thief Games at LookingGlass..so your last chance to put questions, I'm really wondering why there is no question to a person like him, anyways, episode with Daniel Thron and Dominus should come this week

Well, I am interested, but for quite a while couldn't think of any question which was neither mentioned in Supremcee's post about the interviews, nor already answered in the interview mentioned.
Now that I read it a second time, though... You could try to pick things up where the interview ended. Did Thron play TDM now, and what were his thoughts about the game and the game's art? How does he compare it (game and art) to Thief 1, 2 and 3? Did he see Thief 4 yet? How important are these games (and perhaps different projects he had during the last decades) for him today?
You could also ask Dominus about what he thinks of these aspects, what he thinks about Thron's art in the Thief games. Maybe even whether he would do something different. The idea is not to get your interview partners to a fight to the death:ebil:, but rather to hear different viewpoints of two artists about the same thing. And since I still don't know much about both guys, and probably other listeners aren't much the wiser, a short introduction of each of them could be appropriate.
Maybe that's enough to get the interview going, and then let it roll along with a little steering nudge here and there.

These are the questions for Dan I asked on Twitter:
- I do have a question for Dan: did he and later on his company for TDS had any input on the background art (e.g. the Keeper compound in the T2 cutscene before Eavesdropping, or the Council Tower for Garrett's trial in TDS).
- By extension, did they draw the characters themselves or were they supplied by someone else and then imported and animated?
- Also what came first: Constantine's room in the reveal cutscene in T1 or the actual room made in dromed used in The Sword and Escape and then used as reference?
- Got another one that is sort of related to the previous: when exactly were the cutscenes made during the development cycle? I imagine it was fairly late into development but I'd really like to know what the timeline is.
- Also, did Dan make the cinematic snippets seen in this early trailer? (

- Does Dan know why TDS doesn't use the classic briefing structure seen in T1 and T2? I understand several cutscenes had to be made in-engine due to scheduling and money problems, but what about the briefings?
- Some early material for Thief 1 had Garrett use a grappling hook and/or a crossbow; does Dan know the history of these and why they were cut in favor of a bow and the rope arrow?
- This is a nerdy question: according to Lord Bafford's ledger and the documents found in Donal's manor, a good portion of Thief 1 takes place around April/May of the year 34. Why exactly is the ending cutscene taking place in the winter then?

This is an incredible episode that you don't want to miss! Daniel was very candid and enthusiastic about it and we learned a whole lot of stuff.
