Because like any good villain he understands that style and flair trump practicalities. He put a lot of effort into creating his cool little dystopian world that some schmuck is gonna go turn over, stop being so mean, man.

Oh so instead of being very stupid the reason is incredibly stupid


That can be cool sometimes


I think the problem is that Garrett is just a dumb non-entity. It's not really clear what he cares about or why he's doing anything. I guess he want to get to the bottom of the Erin thing, but even that seems be an "eh might as well" sort of thing.
Bizarre, since in Thief 1 you can get an almost crystal clear picture of Real Garrett's motives, personality, and rationale just by listening to the one minute long intro to the first mission.

BaxterBaron's over there, RojoGraven's there, me right smack in the middle.

Now you've got me wishing the game was just a giant copy of a Fistful of Dollars set in a thiefy steampunk world.

I don't think there's any other field where someone comes up to you and tries to tell you how to do your job and does it with such earnest glee.

As sad as it is, most careers feature this. If you're lucky the boss that's genuinely trying to contribute will just be uninformed about the project because they're working a bunch of them. At worst they don't even realize that they don't understand the work.

Also, maybe I missed it but has it been mentioned what those guys at the beginning of Thi4f were planning to do with the Primal and the ritual before it got all hosed up? I know the Gloom is apparently a result of it, but was their plan literally just manufacturing a plague?

Look man, they really needed to know how many licks to the center of a tootsie pop and this was the only way.

Idk about sequel hooks including Bobbin's predicted next lp, but I know what the game should have had at the end of the credits:

As the credits fade out the scene changes to water lapping up against a smoldering pile of rubble. The coals crackle lightly, but are suddenly interrupted by a crashing sound as a hand punches its way free of the rubble. As the camera shifts into focus one thing becomes clear. That wasn't a hand. Jim Beam is back bitches.
