What's the most difficult Thief to play?

Thief: Deadly Shadows (PC). Not because the missions were difficult (they weren't), but because the controls are so damn clunky and awkward.

It was exactly what I wanted to say. Plus the lack of the sword. Almost unplayable for me. I didn't enjoyed it at all, it was a pain to drag it to the end. :mad:

I think the sword is a useless item in Thief. What good for it if you have stealth. That's the point of Thief. I don't see how a sword could improve the way to play TDS (or any Thief). Even if you like to leave a huge trail of blood behind you, the backstab works fine in all Thief games. Also bow can do the killing.
I found hard to play Thief 2 because the missions were way more hard to get through. A lot of noisy floor, more guards, all those machines, ghosting. Thief 1/Thief Gold was hard too, but in my opinion not as Thief 2. Thief Deadly Shadows is sooooooo easy to get through, but I enjoyed the most because it looked awsome.

I agree with Snakebite, all those tile and metal floors and much more light have made T2 very difficult, as have the many robots and cameras.

Thief 2 for me. I don't like the machines and all the metallic surfaces one bit, not only does it make the game difficult but it kind of kills the medieval atmosphere that I love so much. Some missions thankfully were more "old fashioned" to keep the game interesting, like Running Interference and Blackmail.

Thief 3 is my favorite game of the 3, believe it or not. I don't know why but I get a kick out of going crazy on the city streets in-between missions. Placing an explosive mine and see a pair of guards chasing me get blown up to death is so much fun. :p

Metal Age, at first was ok, but the bank was my first challenge security was heavy , and those mechanics robots argh, then the ghosting and soulforge was really a challenge for me , after i played TDS ,i really enjoyed Metal Age :)
