Thief 4 can be completed without killing any enemy

With the new Thief title confirmed, many players’ attention has been surrounded on whether or not the game can be completed without making any kills.

It seems those wishes have been answered. As with the original games, Thief 4 doesn’t require you to murder any of your foes.

In a recent blog post on the Eidos Montreal community page, staff member Adam Badke wrote the following:

”Players will have multiple ways to approach their objectives and each objective can be reached using Garrett’s various tools, by exploring and by playing with your environment.

Each path comes with a set of challenges, encounters and looting opportunities. Difficulty options allow the experience to be scaled for hardcore fans of the original series, but to also let newcomers have a lot of fun. And yes, you can complete the game without killing anybody – Garrett is a Master Thief, not a killing machine!”

Lay down your weapons and get tip-toeing, then.
