If you ever play Thief: The Dark Project/Thief Gold or Thief II: The Metal Age fan missions, I'd be more than happy to provide recommendations. There are a lot of fan missions out there (as in, over 700); some are (IMHO) even better than the original missions! Not all the missions are traditional stealth-focused Thief, either; there are also puzzle missions, psuedo-RPGs, deathmatches, etc.
(I have finished Thief: Deadly Shadows, but didn't like how movement felt in that game compared to previous Thiefs and only played one fan mission.)
The first time I played Thief 1 and 2, I think I spent about a year on each. Since then, I've tended to finish new games within a month, though there have been a few exceptions.
Out of curiousity, have you been playing the German or the English versions? I know the German version of The Metal Age has some unique ambient music; the fan-created soundtrack I have for that game used the German version and it throws me every time I hear a section that isn't in the English version.
(I've always considered myself a computer gamer, but tend to play mods for my favourite games [especially Thief and Deus Ex] over investing in newer games.)
