Thief 4 won't be out for for a full year: Sucks, right? But Dishonored can
be played as a full stealth game in true Thief fashion, and indeed it's
possible to play the entire game without killing anyone, or even being
detected by enemies (ghosting). I just finished a full play-through with no
kills, but for two in the Prologue, when I didn't know better -- don't make
this mistake; you can't prevent what these enemies will do in the Prologue,
so just avoid them and don't fight back.
Dishonored really *is* a Thief game. There are lots of opportunities for
sneaking, alternate passages, hidden rooms, eavesdropping for clues, books
and notes to read. Doug Church (Thief 3) is even thanked in the credits.
The game should be discounted in the holiday sales, and there's a DLC
planned, so pick this one up and enjoy it, while we all wait for T4
