Heartwarming / Thief: The Dark Project

Go To

  • Garrett helping free the spirit of Brother Murus from his purgatory state, along with other fallen brothers of the Hammerite Order.
  • Before the mission Escape, Garrett discovers that he's been manipulated by the Big Bad into unsealing the Sealed Evil in a Can. To make matters worse, he has had an eye torn out of his head by someone he thought was a customer and is left for dead, by someone who was really a Satanic Archetype all along, and who goes forward with his plan to destroy the world, made possible by Garrett. Cue Artemus and the Keepers, whom Garrett vehemently told to stop bothering him, storming Contantine's manor, coming to his rescue.
    Keeper: "Since you left us, you've been a stone rolling downhill. Now you must aim this remarkable momentum. It is past time for the balance to shift."
  • Garrett and the Hammerites setting aside their differences to save the world from the Trickster, turning the tables on him and succeeding, with the Hammerites afterward providing him a mechanical replacement for his stolen eye as a reward.
  • Running, fighting and sneaking against hope you make it to the exit. Cue cutscene :
    The stone cannot know why the chisel cleaves it.
    The iron cannot know why the fire scorches it.
    When thy life is cleft and scorched,
    when death and despair do leap at thee,
    beat not thy breast and curse thy evil fate,
    but thank the Builder for the trials that shape thee.
  • The final cutscene is the only scene which is well-lit and calm, thanks to the falling snow. After skulking in the dark, grungy bowels of The City, it finally looks beautiful.
