A big, metal, electronic spider with diode eyes and fangs that drip alternating current. Thus, when we meet up with Garrett in The Metal Age, he's got all that on his mind, plus the fact that the thrones first mission is one of helping out a colleague thrones who's fallen in love. People in love irritate Garrett, as do zealous thrones law enforcement and cults that build tools specifically designed to antagonize thieves. So he's not in the best temper at the beginning of The Metal Age, and his mood declines as the game progresses. Thief 2 is longer, more difficult, and requires much more care and patience. It also sports a more complex and intricate story than the original, as the Keepers drag the unwilling Garrett into the Hammer/Mechanist rivalry even as he tries to dodge Sheriff Truart. Respecting fan wishes, it offers very few encounters with the supernatural. I don't recall a single Burrick in the game. A Thief without Burricks is like a DOOM without fire imps; it's unnatural. As I'm apparently alone in really loving the paranormal stuff from Thief, I'm not going to whine about it much more.
