Thought maybe the links above might be interesting to some of the newer or younger members here for whom Thief TDP/Gold is a newer or more recent experience.

Lytha was around when the game first came out in 1998 and was one of the key players responsible for breaking the game in a variety of ways, and coining her own ghosting style of hardcore Thief play.

Tony.

Ah yes, a couple years ago I replayed Thief Gold and I had a blast ghosting it Lytha's style. Upon finishing Lord Bafford's Manor unseen and without knocking unconscious everyone on the map like I always did, I had the revelation that this play style was not only possible but maybe one of the dev had that in mind too, at least until the Undercover mission and dem frogs afterward. It's so much fun and rewarding, you aren't just sneaking your way in, you are constantly sneaking, every guard you manage to elude on the way in, you will have to figure out a way to elude on the way out too. Not only that, but these zombies and monsters levels that everyone hates because there's no guard to knock unconscious, gets a new spin to them because when you cannot kill the monsters they turn into guards: just another set of eyes that you must elude or run from when you get spotted.
