Late on it, but I finally completed an expert run in Thief Gold! - by Bucky Seifert

I can now say I've beaten every Thief game on the highest difficulty, including Thief 4 with the amount of custom difficulty options needed for the achievement. Never gonna do iron man mode that just sounds insane.
My campaign total time was 11:06:54, 24041 loot, 1851 damage dealt and 163 received. The mission I spent the most time on was haunted cathedral at an hour and 44 minutes because good lord finding loot in that mission is a pain in the ass.
Probably gonna go for some favorite FMs on expert next, like Mission X or maybe Feast of Pilgrims. That's a new fav.

Oh yes THC is a pain regarding loot. Fortunately it is quite rare to find a T1 or T2 mission that requires such a loot-scour. Unlike T3, where pretty much most of the missions on Expert ended up with a prolonged tour of going round the same places again and again and again, trying to find the last needed pieces of loot.
Any way, don't disregard Iron Man. Imagine the satisfaction when you finally complete a mission like Mage Towers or Soulforge :)

I meant iron man mode in Thief 4, a little too janky for me to trust it be fair, but the OT I might do that! Also yeah I remember expert runs in T3 being exactly like that. Ironically enough, that was the first Thief game I completed on expert.
