* Okay, a few questions about Raleigh from the first game. 1. When Sly encounters advanced technology in Ms. Ruby's and the Panda King's world, why does Bentley immediately assume that "The fifth member of the Fiendish Five" (who they didn't know about at that point) supplied it, rather than their actual chief inventor. 2. ''Why didn't he use any machines during his boss fight?'' I mean, don't get me wrong, the fight was fun and all, but he's been built up all this time as a "mad machinist" capable of creating bizarre and fantastical devices, including a weather manipulator. I was all set up to fight some sort of giant robot or massive death ray or ''something'' cool and mechanical. Instead, he just bloated himself up and tried to jump on you. I mean, I love the character and wish they'd done more with him, but... Damn, talk about an anticlimax. and 3. [[NiceHat Where did he get that sweet hat?]] I want one!

* Clockwerk's size. Honestly I could see him having the ability to change size or something because sometimes he's big (his boss fight and Clock-La's, the Clockwerk wings when they're on the statue Rajan has) and most of the clockwerk parts in the cutscense suggest a smaller, but still large character, but the tail feathers and eyes in the cutscenes suggest something quite normal-sized, also him being about the same size as the other members of the Fiendish Five in Sly 1's intro, best seen when he grabs the pages from the book.

** Maybe the area is foggy or the guards in this level specifically have nearsightedness?

** Then there's Paradox (a skunk) and Decibel (an elephant) -- granted, the relationship was one-sided, with Paradox taking advantage of Decibel's interest in the lost classical songs of the masters, and leading her on in thinking that the relationship was serious -- one might have some [[SympathyForTheDevil sympathy for Decibel]] upon learning about what she went through, and how Padradox simply [[YouHaveFailedMe dumped her for "failing" him]] -- and [[AndThatsTerrible he insulted her musical talents]], [[YouAreFat not to mention her weight]]. Well, at least she has a [[EarnYourHappyEnding better fate than Paradox]]. She might even get out with good behavior.

** According to the comics, the cane does have a lockpick function.

*** Perhaps, in "Goodbye My Sweet", the chocolate that Carmelita is guarding is merely a decoy -- being a regular milk chocolate bar, with the real one being carried by some regular delivery guy in regular clothes on a regular train -- and it's all a trap to catch Sly and his gang. Funny part is, Sly knows that the chocolate bar is a regular chocolate bar, and just wants to mess with Carmelita.

** Perhaps Galleth, and maybe Salim, know proto-versions of the Spire Jump, at least good enough to do it in their eras and not fall to their deaths, but Rioichi perfected the maneuver, and figured out the formula that later Coopers could more easily learn, while others before him were more trial-and-error sorts, who didn't always get it quite right -- luckily, there was always something that they could grab onto instead of plunging to their deaths.

** Let's look at General Tsao (a rooster -- or a bird of some sort) and Jing King (a panda) -- granted Jing King was kidnapped, and there was going to be a forced marriage, not to mention the implications of that, which is why Sly and the gang rescue her -- but given Tsao's comment about having his bloodline and that of the King's bloodline, maybe being of two different species isn't as much of a biological barrier to having children as one might think. That being said, as Sly says, Tsao's the worst villain the gang has faced.

Added DiffLines:

** Another possibility is that, to Sly, those things aren't actually being "stolen", insofar as he isn't keeping them. He may simply take things like the names or the stamp and "relocate" them (sending the stamp to Carmelita, for example). He doesn't steal them for keeps or for any purpose, he just nicks them for fun and to mess with people.
