burn out sets in

Having played the first two thief games, and loving them as much as i did ( ...even contemplated -gasps- writing fan fiction inspired by the first game), there just seemed to be something missing in this iteration. If you look at the games side by side this game defiantly looks far superior to the other two and really it plays just about the same but for some reason falls short for me. Don't get me wrong, i enjoyed it and all but half way through i "shelved" it for a long while before getting back in and finishing it up.

It's debatable as to whether it was the content on the game or whether the stealth gameplay is wearing thin on me at this point. What was once a new and suspenseful experience is just becoming a painfully slow crawl.
