I just finished Thief Gold and have started Thief Metal Age.
I played TG on Expert mode, and am doing the same with TMA. However, I notice that the guards are tougher in TMA. For example, they see and hear me from a further distance away, and when they start looking around for me, they do so for much longer than in TG, and they always seem to come very close to where I am hiding.
Does anyone know if this is to be expected when you play on Expert mode in TMA?
I noticed that when I ran the Darkloader, I accidentally "optimized" TMA with the difficult vs. normal settings. I then changed it back to normal and optimized again, but I don't know if the changes went through.
Are there some specific configuration files where one could manually adjust the AI sensitivity levels? Thanks.

I actually thought it was the other way around, that TG/DP was harder than TMA. Shows what I know,hehe:D

Yeah Thief 2's AIs are notably tougher than 1. Keep at it though, you'll get used to it.
Then play them with the ultimate difficulty mod!

Ofcourse they are tougher by default. And it's better too. I would like to have even more realistic guardsies.
