I just finished this last night and though i'm 2 years late (as usual), still felt i should write a review of this gem. Starting with a decent interactive tutorial, and then a couple of pretty straightforward thieving missions you get slowly involved with a shadowy group called the Keepers who send you to steal some magical artifacts which become pretty important to the story later on.

I had so much fun playing this game, maybe it was just me but i never got bored of blackjacking, backstabbing, and thieving my way through the many missions of this game. And it has a *lot* of missions. It did start to drag a bit towards the end, but i felt compelled to stay until the final cutscene. One thing i noticed was that i didn't just like the game for one thing, but several clever ideas mixed together. Sometimes it felt like MGS, sometimes like Ghost Recon, sometimes like Secret of Monkey Island. Yeah, weird. The 2nd to last mission, the Shalebridge Cradle was awesome. Scarier than Silent Hill.

Don't miss this addictive, easy, but still very playable stealth game.
