Yes, you can wack them with the blackjack. You just cannot kill anyone (people, supernatural don't count), which prohibits the sword or broadhead. Thief 2 on expert is good, probably a great choice on your part. The one thing I can say about Thief Gold is that it often requires you to chase down some other trinket, which might be more difficult to find then the main objective. Be thorough and start thinking where the developers might hide something. I don't think I have ever played on a lower difficulty, besides goofing around and killing guards. I actually find the sword combat rather easy due to training, yet as you said it is more about stealth.

Quake doesn't have a lot happening at once but it has a lot happening at once? You kinda defeated your own argument with the third sentence...

I never tried Dishonoured, couldn't tell how similar it is.

The guards turn around sometimes just due to rotating their position (like the hammerites on craigsleft). If you alerted them previously they might also be glitched as I described before when trying out Bafford's Manor (they appear idle, but will attack as soon as you try to blackjack them). If you jump on stone (same as jumping on wood), they can hear you, but walking usually has no problems. Just beware of marble (often in galleries, the loud tiles) and metal (such as the training mission's sound test).
