Can somebody please explain to me the difference between pickpocket's and locksmith's story?

[winrarphile]

Just finished both, great game, but I didn't get the difference between the two.
Is locksmith's just the glorification of everything, and pickpockets the truth?

I just realized the end of identity, the redhead, hacker, mole and gentlemen are just the alter egos of the original 4?

The final campaign will be released relatively soon, so sit tight mate!

Wait, how many campaigns are there? I've only done pickpocket and locksmiths, haven't done origins yet.

There'll be a fourth campaign in the near future which will include more traditional heists unlike Origin.

Great. I hate the Origin campaign, I think I won't even finish it.

[TARmeZAN]

Please, let us know how you really feel about the Origins campaign :/

I liked it, a break from the norm ... and told from the Lookout's POV. Kudos on all campaigns, characters, options, modes ... really. Having a blast playing this game forwards, backwards, sideways, and up-down.

Nobody knows the truth. Both the Lockpick and Lookout see everyone as different people, the Lockpick is apparantly too dumb to lie and the Pickpocket makes his stories more dramatic, but the truth is there. It's confusing.

[TARmeZAN]

Reminds me of the movie "Identity" with John Cusack ... great concept.

I thought the identity level strongly suggested that, but then since origin takes place after the pickpockets story(inspector tells lookout that he's already talked with the lcoksmith and hobo) I think it's most likely that there really is eight of them.

I think it goes like this Locksmith Story > Pickpocket Story UP TO Identity > Origins > Identity

You are correct, Identity happens after everything, except the upcoming Campaign!

From what I can tell, there are only four thieves.
The Gentleman, the Redhead, the Mole, and the Hacker.
The other four thieves are made-up with a lot of evidence to their existance planted, in an effort to deflect almost all of the blame off of the Gentleman and his crew. Identity is the crew breaking out of the prison, as the Pickpocket (Actually the Gentleman) warned Voltaire. The ending was in my opinion brilliant, and when I read the first Hotel's opening text for the first time I couldn't help but laugh and gape at it. I hope this helps a bit.
