I twigged to that too. I'm with/like the theory that Sly likes being a gentleman to women even if they are out to kill him. It fits the idea of him being a sort of Arsene Lupin.
Speaking of that... I don't know if you ever tried to smack Neyla during the first two 'follow Neyla' missions. But the game punishes you if you try it by flashing a "game over" message that reads, "MISSION FAILED! Neyla doesn't like getting hit anymore than YOU do!". It's like the game is shaming the player for being a jerk! I discovered it on my second playthrough and thought it was hilarious! XD
(And from what I've seen of the Sly 4 clips, this might just be me, but it looks like they kind of change Sly's personality a bit along with Penelope and Carmelita's @_@)
Oh, they totally did. Sly, Murray, and Bentley's dialogue/behavior is way more "cartoony" in Sly 4. And it's not the GOOD kind of cartoony, either. It's the lame, pandering kind you'd see in a badly-written kids show.
Basically, Sanzaru-Sly loses all his smoothness and charm. He's no longer a suave thief. He's a smarmy douche. And, instead of being a chivalrous dude who hesitates to beat up women (even after said women have seriously wronged him), he allows other guys to sexually degrade his girlfriend AGAINST HER F**KING WILL and doesn't even hesitate to beat the shit out of a girl that he once cared about. ....so, yeah. They changed it. They changed it a lot. >_<
"Run! RUN FOR YOUR LIFE! SHE'S COMPETENT!"
LOL. Just wait until you get to play as her in Sly 3! It's like controlling a superhero!
