Not really true. DXIW and T3 had separate dev teams (this is why they were able to develop the games concurrently). Some people at ISA would definitely have worked on both titles, especially given that they share a lot of technology, and I read that a number of DXIW team members migrated to the Thief team to help them get it completed after DXIW was released, but I believe that the design work for each title, along with the bulk of the development, would have been carried out by quite distinct sets of people.
