DIFFICULTY The difficulty level may be changed at this screen. The default is Normal,
but if you want more of a challenge, you can select Hard, and if you’re
feeling exceptionally stealthy, choose Expert.
If this is your first introduction to the THIEF series, we strongly
recommend that you play the first 3 missions on Normal difficulty level.
When played on Normal difficulty, these missions will introduce you to
some key concepts of stealthy gameplay, and will help you understand
how to succeed by giving you extra hints. If you’ve played THIEF before
or think you have what it takes, you can play these missions on Hard
or Expert for additional objectives and challenging gameplay.

To rebind a control function, click the function, then press the
key or button you wish to use for that function, or press Esc
to cancel. Each key or button can only be assigned one control
function at a time. Click SAVE to save your keybinds; click LOAD
to load a saved set of keybinds (we offer several different
configurations).
NOTE: Your keybinds will be loaded when you load a saved
game, so you will only need to load your keybinds separately
if you start a new game.
