Screw cookies, we have hammer haunts!
Hammer haunts? So ... I should run screaming the other way then ... ? :p

Unrealistic magic? It was perfectly real within the Universe Thief takes place in.
No it wasn't. But it was good enough for their purposes, and that's all that matters. The shafts dissappear, those water arrows couldn't put out a good torch reliably, the rope arrows are wonky, etc, and that's ok! Some people at TTLG try to justify all this, but LGS didn't bother, and rightly so. If you don't try to justify it, people don't worry about whether the justification is ok. They focus on what they can do with the arrows instead, which is exactly the way it should be.
Likewise with the arrows in thief 4, I don't expect them to make total sense, and again, that's the way it should be. They just need to have the desired look and feel and not be so overtly stupid that people can't ignore it. Now whether EM's new look and feel will work is another question, of course ...

Don't. give. a. shit. We've long passed the point expecting anything to improve. But that's
irrelevant.
Right, now you're mocking them for making dumb decisions, or at least that's what you said earlier. I'm saying this probably isn't a dumb decision. Hence, the joke's probably on you. We'll see when the game's released, of course.

Someday you'll realize how bored with gaming you've been.
Dude, I've been through that phase already. Hung out with the storytron guys. Glad to get over it.
