Why would you be against the options in 3 and 4? It's fine if YOU want the bodies to stay and the blood to be gory, but there SHOULD be the option of toning those things down for those who want to.

1)A
2)A
3)A (reason being that fading dead bodies away drops game difficulty, realism, and immersion)
4) I'm undecided here. A "no blood" option has the same problems as letting players fade dead bodies away. The title is going to be for mature players anyway simply because of the nature of the game, realism, and spook factor. However, it's considerate to players to allow for some control over the gore level if there's going to be <i>excessive</i> gore by default. Thief I and II have minimal blood and gore with the exception of exploding zombies, so I really don't see the point here.

1) and 2) - don't care.
3) and 4) - Bodies and blood point to the presence of a thief, so you can't just make them disappear.
