Just brace yourself for something extremely clunky compared to Dishonored. The biggest issue easily being that you cannot manually jump. And when you get caught by enemies, it's almost nearly impossible to run away and escape. The level design is problematic too, there's a lot of roofs that look like you should be able to climb over, but some you can and some you can't, you just never know. The main city hub is so overly complex it takes way too much time to navigate, not to mention there's a few loading points too. All that said the atmosphere is great, the art direction is incredible, and it's a gorgeous looking game. There's a lot of side missions and I've seen people sink 50 hours into it, but you can do the main story in probably 12 or so. The first three are classics but if you want something modern check it out, just know that it has no connection to the older games.
Did you play Dishonored Death of the Outsider? Just came out.
I would avoid Deus Ex The Fall.
I did just purchased Dishonored 2 and Dishonored Death of the Outsider in the steam bundle. I played the first one about three or four times through including the DLC. I love that game a lot and I wanted to wait for the sequel’s price to be at a point where I would purchase it. Both were $60. That also gave me an excuse upgrade my graphics card so it worked out great for me. It’s a shame about the Deus Ex though. It looks like I should avoid.
Going back to Thief: if I do purchase it I will definitely go for it when it’s on sale. I think it’s on sale for $15 on Amazon when I checked today before I made the thread. I think from what I’ve read and videos that I’ve seen if I go in with a fresh mind and not compare it to a game like Dishonored I think I’ll be OK.

It's not exactly a stealth-shooter, but you do play it first person, and you will be shooting arrows. You can play this game aggressively, stealthily killing enemies rather than sneaking past them. The best way to play it:
https://www.gog.com/game/thief_goldThief 2 is also great, and I loved Thief 3. I have not played the
2014 Thief yet.
As for modern stealth games, I strongly recommend the Splinter Cell series. Granted they are not first person, but as third person stealth action games they are excellent. I especially enjoyed Pandora Tomorrow, Chaos Theory, and Double Agent.
Out of the three Clancy franchises splinter cell is one that I haven’t played yet but I’ve been interested in trying it. I ended up getting Conviction in a bundle on Steam. And the Blacklist game on the Wii U for a great price so it is definitely on my radar for something to try in the future.
I haven’t played the previous Thief games but I want to try the 2014 game.

That looks super interesting. I plugged the franchise into Google and it looks like they announced a new game this past E3. I should look into that as well.
Thanks everyone for the recommendations but if you have anymore keep them coming.
