Item and Weapons for the Player

Remove Gas Mines

Explanation:

Eliminate gas mines from the game. Such extraneous and unfair advantages defeat the challenge of high-security areas, where one's goal as a master thief should be to avoid mishaps altogether, rather than create them.

Points to bear in mind:

Leaving gas mines behind you would realistically create a highly visible form of evidence of mischief -- which is exactly what you -don't- want.

Garrett wouldn't realistically be able to carry all of those mines on his person; a master thief such as himself would use his weight and space capacity for smaller, lighter, and more discreet tools.

Would simplify Garrett's inventory by leaving less -stuff- to clutter up his equipment, which would result in a lighter, less-bulky, and less visible load.)

Oh look, there are those Cut&Paste comments seen, almost identically, in just about every "Remove XOXO" topic here! Those 'un-creative' and 'un-thought-out' comments can be used for just about EVERYTHING in Thief relating to fantasy.

Gas Mines are in fact realistic, Gas Arrows are not. In a mine, the gas can be compressed and stored until activation. The gas cloud would have to be more pronounce and noticeable though. Not for a Thief, you say? Oh contraire! Only a master Thief could get away with such a prank! Besides, once you are the best, what's the fun if you cant pull-off pranks and create a little amusing chaos for yourself?
