There's rope arrows at 10:10.
If there are two things that should never be in a Thief game, it's
'blink' and 'The Outsider': the first is a cheat button, and the second has
no background or mythology of any sort, and was plainly pulled out of some
I-Got-Nothin dev's ass. The presence of a rope arrow signifies to me
they'll attempt to keep the character fairly grounded, hallalujah. I saw no
sign of magic in the video clip, but how much steampunk-ish technology there
will be remains to be seen I guess.
