Should i start playing Thief from the first game?

Question

I heard that Thief is a great game. Now i finally decided to try it out. So should i start from the first game in the series or will it be fine to skip the first two and just go with the last one? Will i lose much if i skip?

Answer

You'll miss quite a lot, including a great tutorial level, some excellent levels in churches and wilderness and will not understand why Garrett is in the situation he is in when playing Thief 2. Start from The Dark Project.

While I think Thief: Deadly Shadows (the last one) is awesome, there are a lot of references to the stuff in the first two games, and you should play them to understand.
