".....a most unfortunate guttersnipe, that waits just outside" Was I the only one that first time I heard Karras say that, was like OH FUCK! It's a trap! He means ME!
Garrett draws a mustach on one of Karras' metal-children and stars laughing. Karras' walks up to him: "You know what?! That makes me mad!" Then gets inside a mech-suit and attacks.
"WHEN WILL THAT DAMNED NOVEL YOU'VE BEEN WORKING ON BE READY KARRAS?" "IT'S CALLED IN COLD BLOOD SIR, IT SHOULD BE READY...SOON, HEH HEH, MWAH HA HA HA HA!!!!
Karras: kar0609a: (Servant speaking:) Let me go. Let me go. Someone free me [here?]-- (Karras speaking:) Behold, Sheriff Truart! From the lowly street rot emerges the loyal worker. That which I call...'The Servant.' (Truart speaking:) This is one of the tramps I delivered to you? The transformation is spectacular! (Karras speaking:) And neither want nor worry has he. (Truart speaking:) Lucky fellow! Strange you should mention worries, Karras...because I do have one.... Karras: kar0609b: (Truart speaking, continued:) It's not that the money's not right--no--it's just that I need to be convinced you've taken the proper precautions. The Truart name is untainted by scandal, and I will not be the one to bring it humiliation and ruin. (Karras speaking:) Trust thee in me...for 'tis The Builder Himself who guides me. And the Baron...need never know. (Truart speaking:) Yes...I'm glad your Builder guides you, but it would make me feel even more confident if you were to let me in on your...whole scheme. Karras: kar0609c: (Truart speaking, continued:) Come now! What's the crux of it all, eh, Karras? Show me what's so special about your new Servants. (Karras speaking:) Ehm...'tis impossible to hide anything from you, good Sheriff. I will give thee full explanation then in the form of...a demonstration. The visual in this instance would far surpass any...verbal elaborations I could relate. But, I must ask thee to step away from the Masked Servant. That's right. And meanwhile, I will retrieve our...'volunteer.' A most unfortunate guttersnipe who waits just outside. Karras: kar0609d: (Karras speaking, continued:) Come, come, gentle beggar. And stand ye juuust there, next to the masked man. Yes. Now, all is in readiness, so keep thine eyes on the new arrival, whilst I signal the Servant...thusly.... Karras: kar0609e: (Truart exclaiming:) My word! The mask emits a red vapour! (Beggar Woman crying out and then screaming:) Uh! Please, no! Help! (Karras speaking:) Continue thy observations, Truart. (Truart exclaiming fearfully:) But it consumes them! We're in peril! (Karras speaking:) Fear thee not, stout Sheriff, for we are safe at this distance. See? Already the reaction ceases.... Karras: kar0609f: (Truart exclaiming and observing:) They're gone! And what remains in their stead? Sand? No...rust! (Karras speaking:) Indeed, 'tis very much like rust, and harmless once settled. Brother Feagan, I pray thee, do sweep up what is left of those two. (Feagan responds:) Yes. (Truart exclaiming and observing:) A weapon then! Quite fantastic! And...monstrous! Of course, you'll keep these Servants you're making away from me and my men? (Karras speaking:) Thou need not even ask. (Truart speaking:) Then, we are in agreement! Karras: kar0609g: (Truart speaking, continued:) You need subjects for your Servant project, and I can supply them. Vagabonds, street scum, prostitutes...those who will not be missed by anyone of consequence. They'll be rounded up, charges invented, et cetera. Still, there's always risk. So I will give you...twenty, no more. For your part, you'll remember to keep our transactions absolutely secret! And of course, deliver my payment--in advance, in full--tomorrow. I don't trust you, Karras, so you'll receive the subjects only after I confirm the payment. Karras: kar0609h: (Truart speaking, continued:) Well, our business here is finished. (Karras speaking:) Yesss.... Fare thee well, Truart! Karras: kar0610A: (Karras speaking:) Now see, friends...with the Builder's efficiency I have completed two tasks, with but one...effort. Firstly, I did secure twenty subjects to be transformed into Servants, as you heard. And secondly, I secured the loyalty of the wary Sheriff Truart. Yes...his loyalty...heh. Truart fears scandal. Yet his actions of late could bring him that, or worse, if ever made public. Karras: kar0610S: Now, behold, my wax cylinder machine. I've used it to capture the Sheriff's very words, even as they moved through the air, today. Hearken, friends! (Recording of Truart's words:) ...And I can supply them. Vagabonds, street scum, prostitutes...those who will not be missed by anyone of consequence.... (Karras speaking:) With his voice thus preserved, Truart dare not betray me or he'll have the scandal he fears so much. Brother Feagan. Thou wilt see to it that this wax cylinder machine gets safely to the bank on the morrow. You will find the safety deposit box key in the _location in here_ Karras: kar0611C: (Karras speaking, continued:) Friends...we are adjourned. Return now to your duties.
Yeah I remember not really caring much about the leaning mechanic in this game back when I first played it. I assumed it was a sort of optional gimmick. How wrong I was. If I were one of the original devs for Thief 2, I would've stuck a big label on the front of the game's box art saying: "Leaning is actually important this time, we promise!" Then I found out you could lean forward and blackjack guards in the dark...while you're in front of them! This was, of course, years later. Haha!
".....a most unfortunate guttersnipe, that waits just outside" Was I the only one that first time I heard Karras say that, was like OH FUCK! It's a trap! He means ME!
I legitimately panicked when I first heard that line.
I failed the mission because I ran too far away when he said that
When he said "guttersnipe who waits outside" I shit a brick and ran. I guarantee the devs did that on purpose.
1:35 My heart stopped when I heard this ingame. Thought he was gonna open your door.
YES, I absolutely shit my pants when he said this and I pulled out my sword thinking he would open the door.
I love how Karras ostentatiously explains his entire scheme immediately after Truart walks out.
The classic blunder made by all mustache-twirling villains ;)
Karras sounds like Droopy Dog
Garrett draws a mustach on one of Karras' metal-children and stars laughing. Karras' walks up to him: "You know what?! That makes me mad!" Then gets inside a mech-suit and attacks.
i had an existential crisis when i learned karras and garrett share a voice actor
...also 1:35 is a master prank
here's the thing
Karras is a horrifying villain.
He scares the fuck out of me
BUT I CANT TAKE HIM SERIOUSLY WITH THE VOICE
He sounds like an average polish religious zealot lmao
Nobody else did either, that is why he was so mad at everyone.
Unironically this is usually the voice of any fanatic with a religious agenda

Well done, good sir.
The woman saying: "Let me go, someone free me." At the beginning sounds inhuman and horrifying.
he sounds like Truman Capote
"You know what? That makes me mad."
Fantastic.
Karras, you crazy bruh
thank you, it was wayyyyyy to silent ingame
If you lean agnist the door by pressing
E or Q
The sound becomes way more clear
