Thief Wiki

In the Thief games, the storyline is revealed before and after each mission was completed, using Cut scenes. These are usually pre-rendered videos and/or real-time 3D graphics.

In Thief: The Dark Project, Thief Gold and Thief II: The Metal Age briefings consisted of panning and zooming sepia images with an accompanying voice and music track, whereas cut scenes were full color animations with some live shadow acting.

In Thief: Deadly Shadows this technique was changed, with some scenes fully animated 3D renders, others partially moving pictures, and pre-rendered videos. In case of video, Higher-quality (high-poly) 3D models are used for the environment, characters and objects, also with spectacular special effects. The voice track was also prerecorded, suiting each character and reflecting their moral alignment, especially the Keepers, only revealed in this game.
