Now, I'm not so lame as to compare a game like Thief 3 to say Oblivion/Skyrim (the differences are too numerous to make it plausible), but I'd like to know what, if any, kind of mechanics the two titles might have in common with regards to sneaking around, stealing, assinating and thieving.

In other words, for those of you with experience in Thief 3 and also Skyrim/Oblivion, how many of you said, "Hey, such-and-such in Oblivions/Skyrim reminds me of something from Thief3"?
