As an arbritrary handicap, has using the reverse L R sound option been mentioned?
One other side effect of repeated TM attempts is that of course you do get speedier at completing the levels. First time I Iron Manned Theives' Guild it took 4 hours and 45 mins on Expert. My current record for the mission on Expert is now under 18 mins :)
Anyway, if someone ever does consecutively TM the entire quartet of Thief original games, perhaps they should be called OCD Man? :)

OCD Man is when you play a mission for five minutes and you press Ctr+Alt+Shift+End, if you don't finish it by that time.

Garrett Mode Hardcore: Literally rip your eye out with an actual vine and run around town committing theft related crimes while doing a supreme ghost titanium man run through the trilogy on a laptop that you have to carry with you everywhere.

Plus the supreme ghost rules apply in real life as well. No recharging the laptop either.
Cigam, I got myself hyped up for doing a Titanium Man run when I made my first attempt at IMing the games. Was breezing through the first portion of TG and although there were some frustrations with some of the later, longer levels (like Return to the Cathedral), it was nothing I couldn't get over. But some of the levels in T2 messed me up man :laff: Life of the Party took me aaaaages to get right, with the length of it and all the platforming that is potentially fatal to mess up. Soulforge was even worse, made me want to smash my computer. That's put me off TMing, at least for now, although I still wanna try it at some point.
I've seen you posting about IMing and TMing a lot, seems if anyone's up to the OCD Man challenge, it's you. Let us know when you've done it and post a vid :thumb:

Wouldn't that be ADD man?
As for Titanium Ghosting, not sure that is technically possible. Rule 1 is 'all objectives must be completed' which is open to interpretation. But if you did include secret objectives in that then some of them would require busts to trigger. Such as the bugbeast hunt in Bedfellows.
Even if you interpret it as 'all given objectives' I am sure there are some optional objectives that would make this impossible without a bust.
But then I suppose you could TG whatever can be TGed. And God help your :)

Oh yeah, definitely ADD. As for beating anyting in one sitting, nobody really cares. You can't beat games like Dark Souls in one go, and those no-hit runs are still valid. Take whatever break you need between missions or games. You do it more for yourself than for anybody else. If you're not honest with yourself, it will be a half-assed effort anyway.

If an objective
explicitly requires you to break a rule it doesn't count as a bust, so the bugbeast hunt would be ok, as would killing the haunts in RTC. As long as you don't violate any other rules in the process, like if someone discovers a body or something. I'm pretty sure all of T1 and 2 can be ghosted under the "official" rules, but maybe someone can correct me on this. There is the part in T3 in the Pagan Sanctuary that requires blood in order to meet the objective "Steal the Jacknall's Paw" so I think that would be a problem for that game :(
Cigam on 6/4/2018 at 11:58
But how would you trigger the bugbeast objective? It listswhen you attack one, or one attacks you. Actually, you can trigger it by walking into a fly cloud and getting bitten, but can't remember if Ghost forbids you from injuring yourself.
But the "secret" objective in Assassins definitely requires a bust. You either have to be seen by a house guard or ring the alarm yourself.
As for the blood, there are dead bodies you can pick up and place there and that does the trick. Not sure if that is a bust though.
