Started the game on Master difficulty this evening. Will be trying hard to keep kills/ knockout's to a flat zero thereby ghosting the levels as far as possible.
Feels good to be back in Garrett's shoes after a long time.

@Black_Hawk: Plan to re-start it? I could use some company on my play-through.
I'm playing on Thief difficulty and planning to ghost my way through. Got the first chapter done with every collectible and loot with Ghost rating. Now I'm doing 'The Bank Heist' mission and it's really good so far.

I played and finished the game, and the whole process took 18 hours. So this was the longest time I ever took to play a game, at least in a long while. However even an idiot like me dared to play in Master difficulty 
Still, I loved it. I mean escaping those guards, lovely. A different taste from those gun crazy BF or COD, and I liked it.
However, never managed to come anywhere near to Ghost mode, it was almost always 'Opportunist', sometimes even 'Predator', when I lost my patience. Also seeing a guard walking around and not performing a take-down was hard to resist
especially those glittering coin purses I am a thief after all, not an assassin 
A beautiful game, everything I loved about it, until the freak show came in. First at the island (sorry forgot the name), and the final stage of Erin and her craziness. If those things were practical like most of the game was, I would have rated it 8.5/10, but just for those crazy stuffs, 7/10.
@Ethan_Hunt : If you dare to think posting about your performance as Ghost, get outta here

Well, since you asked so nicely, here's my progress so far:
Finally done with the game and suffice to say, it was horrible. I'm mostly pissed because I spent around 53 hours completing each level with proper stealth, avoid all confrontation, gather every single loot and collectible available in each chapter (barring chapter 6 where I missed one loot) only to get random rating. The height of it's inane rating system was crossed at chapter 7. As you can see below, I only raised one suspicion and besides that, I never got detected, never laid a hand on a single guard, didn't so much as gave them a whiff of me being there. I even got by the level without being noticed in the boss battle with the General for f*ck's sake. Yet, I got a "Predator" rank. Holy sh*te! This has to be a joke. I have went through countless YouTube videos where people who have raised far more suspicions than me and managed to at least snag an 'Opportunist' rating. I went through a full ghost walk-through video and even he raised only one suspicion at the very same place that I did, which is pretty much unavoidable if you want to get 100% loot, but managed to get a 'Ghost' rating.
This is a bloody stealth game. They should have at least provide a proper breakdown of where someone went wrong and how one got the rating. The pie chart is absolutely useless, as it only shows up towards the end, which won't explain what went wrong during the game. In all the chapters I managed to go undetected, yet in some of the stats, the challenge wouldn't show as completed. I'm also not sure why they even have an 'Opportunist' rating in place. This rating system states "You preferred using the environment to your advantage over all other means", which basically means you get penalized for blowing out candles, extinguishing torches, leaving doors/loot chests open etc. Isn't the essence of a ghost rating to not get detected and go by without raising any red flags? Why can't I get that if I blow out some candles and extinguish a few torches?
Anyway, besides that rant, the game was pretty much bland in it's storyline and lame characters. The only good thing about it was the sound effects and dark atmosphere. Performance was stable throughout. Honestly, I'm disappointed, as this was my first Thief game and it didn't really impress me. The game had potential, but was marred by these petty issues. Hope they work on this, if there is a sequel.
Behold the shitty results below. I couldn't post all the stats as the post would be way too long, but I also managed to complete all side missions and client jobs with 100% loot.
