How will Garrett progress through the game without XP?
Nic: The goal is to use gold to buy elements to progress, to encourage the player to steal. The player will be able to choose how to spend money, for more stealthy or more aggressive tools.
Daniel: It was always possible to play without using XP, like it is still possible to play through the game without killing anyone or even spending any coin (though it isn't going to be easy!)
Thanks guys, this was very instructive. And wait until you hear what they have to say about QTEs...
Also, the community manager left Eidos Montreal. Too much negativity?

Not at all. Adam contacted the staff over at the Eidos boards yesterday and explained the reason he's leaving was entirely personal/looking after loved ones. It has nothing to do with EM and the game.

I'm gaining some respect for those guys(and I've been as critical of them as just about anybody.) They seem to have experienced some kind of 11th hour enlightenment. Probably too little, too late but it's a step in the right direction.

But of course.

I bet one of us here threatened the guy's family, and he quit his job to spend all his time sitting at home with a loaded shotgun in his lap.

Actually, that's my situation.*
Lots of blind corners in this apartment...

I put tripwires everywhere. You get more security because they're there even when you're not, and they're much less messy than a shotgun. When an intruder falls over one, I don't have to shoot them and spray blood and gore everywhere, I just rush over and kick them in the head while they're down.

The latest blog entry says he left "to pursue new opportunities." That's not exactly the same thing. I think T4 holds the record for most CMs for a single game.
