Any change that clearly indicates the team has played all of TDP and TMA and many fan missions and shows that they clearly are fans and really understand Thief. Enough to show they really studied or absorbed Thief. So far I don't get that impression. I get the impression they may have played some of the previous Thief games, just enough for the sake of saying they are "fans".
I get the impression they put the cart ahead of the horse. And as the result the cart is being used to drag the horse through the mud. They knew they wanted to make a modern game for "today's gamers" and they knew they wanted to have "Thief" in the title. Then they worked backward to make casual links to the original. Rather than starting with a true devotion to the original then wanting to expand upon that using modern technology to give an old formula a more potent kick.
Sometimes my impressions are off. But this time I don't get that impression.:p
