Custom Difficulty Settings

You can create your own custom difficulty level by toggling on any (or all!) of the following mods:

Base difficulty: easy, normal or hard

Classic Thief Mods

• Chapter Save Only: manual saves and checkpoint auto-saves are disabled.
• No Focus: the use of Focus is completely disabled and no Focus Points are earned.
• Stealth Takedowns Only: you cannot perform combat Takedowns and Takedowns from above.
• No Reticle: no aiming reticle is displayed when drawing the bow.

Legendary Thief Mods

• Specialty Arrows Only: only Blunt, Water, Fire and Rope Arrows are available.
• No Resources: food (health) and poppy flowers (Focus) are not consumable.
• It Hurts Not: if you take any damage, the mission is failed.
• Expensive Tools: the cost of arrows, tools, food and poppies is greatly increased.
• Slowed Movement: running and walking speeds are reduced.

Ultimate Thief Mods

• Iron Man: if you die or fail a mission, you lose your game and must restart from the beginning.
• No Upgrades: non-critical upgrades are disabled.
• No Kills or Knockouts: if a human or animal is killed or stunned, the mission is failed.
• No Alerts: if a human or animal detects you, the mission is failed.

That's an impressive list of options. Eidos Montreal have been saying in interviews that they wouldn't be neglecting their hardcore audience, but it's never been clear what that's meant up until now.

And what a relief it is to see that all those garish UI options can be disabled. Playing with the default UI would be like watching a dark film seated next to someone constantly on his phone.

As for the Iron Man option, I can't wait to try it out.

Characters look kind of iffy to me (especially the old lady), but I really like the environments and lighting in these shots.
