Treating Thief has a hack and slash. - by Bucky Seifert

Playing Thief as a hack and slash would probably be hard mode, if you want to get into sword fights you can get laid out pretty easily. Sneaking past is easy, but getting into a prolonged fight can get deadly fast.
It'd be neat if someone made a mod for expert difficulty that let you kill people, then you have the low health of expert to make sword fights even more difficult (since you'll die in a snap from a misstep)
Plus you'd have the extra objectives to do (like saving Basso). This way you have total freedom to experience everything the game has to offer at once.
Apparently Thief 2 has some cheat for that, but I dunno if Thief 1 with Newdark or TFix has it.
Edit: Nah it doesn't, just tested it real quick
