shut up blegum posted:If you kill the wrong brother, can you restart the mission? The worst you can do to him is make him queasy — anything that actually gets rid of him or makes any part of him that's not the feet touch the ground counts as “harm” (including going to sleep in various ways) and insta-fails. This includes the sleepy poison. This is how I failed it the first time it came around, since it wasn't clarified what qualifies as “harm” until after the ET period was over and people complained on the forums that what usually qualifies as pacifist tactics suddenly didn't count here.

Nakar posted:Tren Po (a prince of what is implied to possibly be Thailand) calls him to commission a song, which may explain why Jordan's crew is in east Asia later. Tren Po is the son of Jin Po, some sort of Kim Jung Il/Dr Doom equivalent, a political leader whose followers worship him as a god. The researchers working on the Ether virus speculate that Po Senior is one of the few potential targets that would justify the creation and use the virus, but that Tren would just inherit his position.

Other fun bits: The actor Julian Wakefield is mentioned a number of times in the game. He's an NPC in Paris (he walks from the Red Carpet area into the main hall and stands under the chandelier area in the crowd, eventually moving to the bar), Dalia mentions his ties to the Church of the Ascendants (as yet unexplored in the game), and he's later tapped to replace Dino Bosco as The Icon when Bosco dies during the shooting of the film. You can get this info from the band crew in the birthday party room in Bangkok, who also discuss questions like whether Viktor Novikov or Claus Strandberg had the better celebrity death (implying that they probably died onstage/in the interview respectively) and who is more talented between Jordan and his guitarist Heidi Santoro (it's universally agreed that Heidi is better). We also know Sebastian Sato survives Paris as he's said to take over the Sanguine label after Novikov dies and returns to his trendsetting and experimental ways (I think that comes up in Sapienza).Discendo Vox posted:Tren Po is the son of some sort of Kim Jung Il equivalent, a leader whose followers worship him as a god.

I set a fire extinguisher by the fountain since it seems like the target takes the long way around the bench there which perfectly isolates. I took a sniping position at Rocco's house. I think it would have worked out but because I was shooting at a stationary object I ignored the fact that the target was moving forward so he walked into the bullet meant for the extinguisher. No SA but it was an easy success.

Third time in a row I've failed. Propane canister again. Placed a leaking one on the table they sit at and waited. At this point, I've been playing for awhile and getting impatient so I didn't let the brother to step far enough away from the table before shooting the canister.

I always thought that if you got a melee animation from the front you were instantly spotted by the person you were hitting. Does the poison somehow prevent that from happening?

How are you supposed to tell which guy is which? I know they said something about a wristwatch, but I didn't see anything. I kept waiting till one of them checked the time, but nothing happened. I blew them all up

Watch the wrists, one of them wil have a highly reflective silver wristwatch catching the sunlight. It's only visible when he moves his hands, like when he's walking or having a coffee at the cafe. Look here at 00:42 at his left wrist as soon as the interface screen fades. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29KgRqSifAo RBA-Wintrow fucked around with this message at 21:08 on Feb 12, 2018 |

It was nice that I was able to freely follow them around to try and spot an opening, since you get to hear the dialogue and it becomes pretty drat obvious who hired you. One of the disappointing things about the ET is the one-and-done mechanic I feel discourages getting to see how they interact with the rest of the map/NPCs.

One of the disappointing things about the ET is the one-and-done mechanic I feel discourages getting to see how they interact with the rest of the map/NPCs. I agree that they should keep your original score/result (got to keep up the tension) but let you replay them afterwards. I think the likely reason they don't do it is that the ET are a clever way to maintain interest in their product. Kind of like how F2P mobile games give you daily stuff or busywork to do regularly (see: Hearthstone quests) so you log in regularly and schedule your play sessions around this. Hell there's even a smartphone app that tells you when a new ET is up. If they let you play all of them anytime you want then they just become elaborate contracts and it doesn't play on your innate fear of missing out.

I've always thought that they should remove the ability to restart because that makes ETs too easy. I want more risk and more weight placed on that tension.  Zigmidge fucked around with this message at 17:45 on Feb 13, 2018 |

Sininu posted:What does The Wild Card mean in this context? One of the ETs the first time around was called 'The Wild Card', where the target was literally actor Gary Busey, using his likeness and voice and everything. Mondian posted:Hey what the gently caress. Missing the wild card the first time around was my one loving regret for not picking this up early and now they're skipping it? WHYYY Same. It was the only ET video I went back and watched and was one of the main things I was looking forward to this go-round. "You'll never catch me! I have the power of invisibility!"

Yeah they did this whole thing on picking which Gary would be the target and Busey "won" It was great and its a tragedy they're not rerunning it. I thought for sure I could figure out if he was a cyborg or not

It could be some issue of likeness rights that didn't extend to 2018 or was only through Square or something. Still sucks though.

Random Fun Fact: The creator of one of the new FCs, Chef Knows, is an adorable British grandma who has been gaming longer than a number of other FC creators in this pack have been alive. It's a pretty good contract, seemingly easy with one complicated target and a number of problems you'll run into if you wait too long. Here's an Accidents Only run where each accident has to be unique.
