We know this so lets stop mentioning it in threads. We may be able to tweak/mod the game by altering stuff on the PC version but they've said their won't be one and given the state of play we'd be crazy to expect one.
So lets drop it from all other threads, hmmm? Its unnecessary clutter.

Where did they say this? Categorically, I mean. Esme's post reminded me that I'd read, recently I think, that it hadn't been ruled out. Damned if I can find where I read it though.

They've said its not in the works. I think its pretty clear they aren't planning one. In any event - isn't it better to imagine we won't have one for the purposes of assessing the game.

Perhaps. But, in any case, I don't think anyone should be telling anyone else what they can and can't discuss in relation to Thief 4. :)
I've just been reminded of (
http://www.explosion.com/30090/no-mod-allowed-for-thief/) this. So I'd say that was categorical. But I still think I read something different in the last couple of days.

I'm not "telling" people what to discuss.
Shall I start discussing the slingshot?

If we are supposed to believe EM mods (and the developers), it's possible that you are wrong, Subjective Effect. Master Taffer (

I asked about the editor, and it's not currently on their mind as they're focusing on releasing the primary game currently. Once they're priorities shift near the end of development they may give it some thought.
But I would be surprised if the level editor is released. :p

Would that be a Nu-slingshot?
Bukary - that was exactly what I read and couldn't find. Thank you.

I wouldn't take that article too seriously - it's a poorly written "blurb" with no real quotes or facts behind it. It also incorrectly states that TDM is "entirely gravitating around the world of Thief" and it mentioned T4 would be released on 360/PS3 back when EM said it would only be next gen (which obviously has been changed as of recently).
I'm not holding out hope for an editor, but I was (still am!) shocked we got one for T3, so I think anything can happen. Maybe it's time to get another editor campaign going - it might actually get
more attention and backing than the Stephen Russell one.

how on earth does one 'gravitate around' something.

Unless they release an editor down the road no possibility of fan mission creation is one of the biggest negatives the future of the game has for me. Seeing what fan mission authors have done with Thief 2's limited engine (less limited recently with the newly discovered patches but still very limited) is always nearly unbelievable. They're missing out on a huge portion of what extends the life of their game (and the franchise) by not doing so.
