Why even call it Thief if you're just going to rework it for a mainstream, console audience? The usefulness of the franchise is shot if you're not making it for the fans for whom the franchise at all matters.
This makes a lot more sense now. Again, if he hadn't mentioned it, I don't think anyone would have even realized they had ever considered making Garrett "more gothic".
Although I do confess, now I want to see the concept for this Hot Topic Garrett.
