Haven't played a Thief game, yet, but I have seen them played. Seemed pretty good. But, I definitely agree that "modern" game mechanics are starting to creep in and ruin rebooted games. It seems like the only games people want to make are DMC/GOW and COD ripoffs. There's nothing wrong with having a few games that play similarly, but when you start forcing the mechanics of those games into EVERY game, especially reboots of older games, it just starts to get ridiculous.
The QTEs would have just seemed out of place and would have ruined the flow of the game. The XP system wouldn't be so bad, but only if you could slightly upgrade weapons, not create a basically unstoppable character/weapon.
