Guards with a sword-run
Ranged opponent-flashbomb and run
Mech. Beasts-reload.....

That was almost a haiku. ;)

Mostly I run because I like the spine tingling thrill of having guards on my heels. It's especially nice if without rehearsing I can jump into a well and grab a rope on the way down so that it looks to the guards like I disappeared into thin air. No other game simulates that as well.

Usually (unless the mission is extraordinarily punitive about it), I don't reload as long as I have a single health shield available. I run from large groups of opponents, but when there are only a few, or if they manage to really irritate me, I'll just sword them. :D
Haunts... I never go for a frontal attack on haunts if I can help it. I'm just not that good. :laff:

It really depends on how bad I screwed up :p If I have almost the entire map alerted to me and abouts 5 guards coming to kick my thieving butt, I'll more than likely reload.
But, if it's only a single guard or perhaps two, and they haven't alerted their friends yet, I'll run off and quick get into a shadowed area, circling them and thwacking them with the blackjack until I get lucky enough to be registered undetected to knock 'em out cold.
Of course, in Thief 2, I have to be careful not to bludgeon them to death first ^^; I don't think you could kill them with the blackjack in Thief 1.
I'm not beyond using whatever clever little thieving tools I might have at hand though... flash bombs and other such devices have saved me on atleast two occasions. I really have to start utilitizing them more :p

I rarely reload, I either fight my way out or improvise. For some reason, reloading just kills a mission for me if I do it too often...

I rarely reload too. I think that if you reload too often, you're tending to view the game as more of a chore to be completed , rather than a source of fun. I probably learned that lesson in Baldur's Gate, where if even 1 party member got killed I'd reload. But then I thought, well why is there combat if that's the way it's played? Combat is put in games for a reason. So after that I just accepted party member deaths and carried on. That pretty much carried on to the other games I played.
