Good lampshade for the fact that everyone in this game is completely faceblind It's more hilarious for the painter in Mumbai. He's South Asian with a moustache and 47 is white with no moustache.

I was pretty sure I used poison but maybe I used sedative by mistake. The point is moot now anyways.

CuddleCryptid posted:My favorite is the barber on the same level for the same reason. On Sapienza, when Francesca's in her office, there's a short window where her bodyguard isn't looking that you can charge in, take her down, and put her in the crate behind her. You can probably do it without, but fiber wire makes it a little quicker and safer. That's where I usually go for Sapienza SASO runs, so it's a handy spot. Aside from that, I'll usually take it along whenever I'm doing a run that I have loadout slots to spare and am not going for silent assassin. It's just a quality of life thing to be able to kill and drag people quicker with a tool that's not a suspicious item. Especially if you're doing something that'll involve a high bodycount, it's nice to have compared to something like a duck or poison syringe that is only useful once. Last night I did the Sgail challenge to dump 47 people into the sea, and fiber wire was nice to have there, for instance.

I always trade it out for a lockpick which has way more versatility I think you should get the fiber wire for free (as in, not taking up a loadout slot) if you enter a map in your suit. It's so situational and rarely used, but it's also an iconic Hitman item. I only ever take it the one time to complete the Piano Man challenge on each map. I don't think it would break things too much and would maybe get me to use it now and then when I'm not caring about SA and just knocking out challenges.

I keep hearing stories where people do the funny accident kills with the androids or the cocaine and people nearby immediately figure out that you're responsible because of course you are, and I've never seen that happen because I just loving run away as soon as the guy dies every time, I'm not an idiot.

The peak of this for me was on Sgail in the initiation/interrogation opportunity. I lie on all the questions, the target walks into a puddle and gets shocked by the ECT machine, and while I'm just sitting there in the chair all the guards draw their weapons on me all "Did you do this, sir!?" I was just loving sitting there guys, you were watching me the whole time. What the hell did I do?

On the other hand, standing around conspicuously is also one of the most satisfying parts of this game. I always love the image of this hulking albino just standing in the corner staring at a wall. People just walk around you thinking, "Man, that new guy sure is weird..." It's great that IOI can hit both of those badass and ridiculous notes perfectly.

UnknownMercenary posted:The worst part of Contracts is that because it's a remake of the first game they have to fit in the Hong Kong arc in there but it comes basically at the end and it's this weird difficulty curve where you get a handful of piss easy missions before the big finish. I loved Contracts just because it let me play old missions with the better mechanics. Also the music was good.

One thing I'd like to see is, since guards will assume you're the killer if you're near the body, they also accuse someone else if they're closer to the body than you are. Ideally, I'd like to see a scenario where you very obviously leave a murdered target next to another target, a guard comes in, sees the body, and concludes that the other target killed the first one, and promptly caps them.

How do you unlock the lethal poison vial? Internet says it's level 10 mastery on either Paris or Sapienza but I've hit both of those and still don't have it. Which is frustrating because it's one of the most useful unlocks.

Tampering with) the AC in Robert Knox's office and poisoning his eyedrops with an emetic in the bathroom down the hall.

I think those sorts of challenges are for ANY target, so you could also find an NPC who's easy to emetic and always throws up in a toilet and create a custom contract on them.

I wish I'd been recording at the start of this, but I was trying to throw a coin past the front passenger side of the van on Bangkok, and when it accidentally clipped the hood, it freaked the gently caress out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rv_pvMyAGEI I've tried to recreate it with no success, unfortunately. freebooter posted:How do you unlock the lethal poison vial?

That should do it. You can see all the unlocks by going to the main menu -> Career -> Mastery -> a particular level, and it will show where you are and what you have.

I got into Hitman very late and missed the first round and most of the second round of elusive contracts, but the no-do-over aspect of them is really awesome and sort of unique in video games at the moment. So thus far all I've been doing in Hitman 2 is redoing all the old levels to build my arsenal back up, plus Hawke's Bay and Miami. Haven't touched the rest of the game yet. Gotta be fully prepared for Sean Bean.
