In January I competed in RickMcKnight's Thief II Titanium event. "Titanium" means to play the entire game in one sitting without dying or reloading. If you die, you must start back at the beginning of the game.

Rick added a few more rules, including:
-You must play on Expert.
-No glitch exploitation or going out of bounds.
-You must get the code for the bank vault in First City Bank & Trust (which is why I went out of the way to get it in that mission).

Since these videos were recorded, I've improved a few of the strats and made some tweaks to the route, but by and large this is how I still play it.

This can be thought of as a sort of "single-segment, glitchless, safety-focused speedrun" designed for a race setting. Instances of randomness or the possibility of game engine imperfections screwing me over are avoided where possible. This means avoiding "safe until the dice roll wrong and then you're dead" scenarios like the "aggressive" bank route.

Give it a try!
