That was one of the things I liked about Thief. The harder levels 
weren't "people are harder to hurt" or "health is less healing". The 
harder levels were almost different games, with different/additional 
goals and access to different places.

I remember looking for the hard loot on the easy setting in the zombie 
crypts one time (having played the game through several times and now 
just wanting to basically look something up), wandering around for about 
half an hour before I realized it Wasn't There. (Thief levels are big 
enough and complex enough that it's not always obvious you've gotten 
where you think you have, even after having played a number of times.)

Not unlike how Deus Ex gives you at least two ways to solve every problem.
