I had a single disconnection in about 15 hours of play, which was annoying but a one-off so far. Looking forward to getting stuck into Sapienza later today, and hoping my luck holds here.

Either get a bodyguard/security uniform so you can carry it on your back without anyone caring, or sneak it up - from the sewer is easiest, and doable if you time it right.

Capsaicin posted:I killed the fashion couple! I got away without any bodies being found either. I think I'm playing it somewhat boringly, since both of them I either waited for or tricked them into going into a bathroom and I just walked in after them and snapped their necks. I need to figure out how to do some of the wacky stuff. You could start by drowning them in toilets instead of snapping their necks, or using the fibre wire to strangle them. But there's no shame in doing things in a low-key way first time around - I've done most of the assassinations with a single silenced headshot first time I play a level.

Capsaicin posted:That looks like it. I guess I'm just not really used to games not telling you what to do anymore. I turned it all the way down to off. I found an exploding golf ball so I want to try to use that at some point soon. I started with opportunity tracking completely off, and found it largely fine for the first couple levels, but I put it up to minimal later and I think it's a better way to go. Some of the opportunities are pretty obscure without any guidance at all.

Foldable is probably the wrong word, but in Blood Money you could carry the sniper rifle disassembled inside a briefcase and when you took it out you'd stick all the bits together to use it. It's a good spot though, I'm excited for the possibility because the briefcase sniper rifle was one of the coolest things in Blood Money.

There are so many fun ways to do this level, wow. Lots of variety. Possibly the best level of the entire lot? Does anyone have an easy way to get a chef outfit though? My current approach of 'do some weird stealth poo poo in the kitchen until I can subdue both chefs at the same time' works, I guess, but it doesn't feel like the most elegant approach.

Tippis posted:Define easy. You need a disguise that allows you to go into the kitchen (by the time I got there, I was swimming in bodyguard disguises, so I just used that… no idea how the others fare or how easy you feel it is to get your hands on one of those). That's really the only hard part. You can then either just take out both in the kitchen itself because, why not? Overflow the sink, while the first guy goes over to fix it, sock the other guy, then the poor sod at the sink. Or just lure one over to the stairs and take him out there. Preferably, one of the chefs from the restaurant above, since they seem very keen on seeing through disguises. Right, so there isn't an easier way than what I've been doing then. It just seems like one of the outfits that's trickiest to get, especially considering you need the outfit for quite a few paths - obviously being the fugu chef, but also the chef costume is needed to put an emetic in the snacks the director goes for so you can get his outfit. Though I guess there may be other ways to get the director alone?

One thing I'll say is that this:quote:You can pick up on just about every opportunity through eavesdropping or common sense Doesn't really hold true for some of the levels. I did exactly what you did initially, turned off opportunities completely, but I ended up putting on minimal tracking by the time Bangkok rolled around because some of the opportunity paths are preeeetty hard to cop on to otherwise.

Jack Trades posted:Can someone explain to when what exactly are the requirements for the Silent Assassin rating? Poisoning and accidents don't give a 'body found' because the cause of death being foul play is not immediately apparent, I guess. For 'not getting spotted', you can't have anyone become suspicious of you at any point (even the targets, iirc) and don't get caught trespassing. Also no recordings of you.

where the red fern gropes posted:question about krueger and the bandage face hokkaido guy - if you don't 'complete' the outfit (makeup for krueger, remove bandages for hokkaido) are there any drawbacks to that? At least for the guy in Hokkaido, bandage removal is only the pretense for getting you to that surgeon alone, so you can take his clothing instead. The outfit otherwise - bandages or no - is just like the normal suit except with limited privileges to go to the medical wing.

Lobok posted:I don't get what happened. I failed the ET but now I can't try again? I thought if you didn't complete any of the objectives yet you were allowed to try again. This was my mistake. I grabbed the laptop info before trying for the actual target, so I later made someone suspicious (Rose's guard who entered the house and saw me as a militia elite, I forgot they'd do that) and while I managed the target I didn't get Silent Assassin due to having bumped into 'suspicious'.

Lobok posted:Asking a question even though I'm afraid of the answer. To do a SASO run in Hokkaido I'm going to have to use the outsides of the buildings pretty much all the time, right? If doors need disguises to open and I can't use disguises then I can't take the direct route anywhere. You can still use indoor areas to get around unseen while trespassing - there are a few paths that are pretty safe - but you usually have to make use of the outside a bit too.

Yeah, Marrakech's most interesting parts visually and environmentally are the bits of the map that don't get used much normally. The school and the embassy are pretty boring locations by comparison but they're where almost everything takes place, and at opposite ends of the map.

Hobo Clown posted:Is Silvio Caruso lurking anywhere in Landslide? I know he's mentioned as the guy who hired you, was just wondering if you can interact with him somehow. I don't think so - the implication is that he's in the locked-up mansion, and that the mission is taking place pretty much immediately after he killed his mother. You can overhear a conversation in the back streets about how it's unlike Signora Caruso not to be seen for this long, etc.

I got SA (after 5-6 scouting attempts working out how I'd do it) by the following method: Start as hotel staff. Grab the master keycard, go up to the penthouse, stalk around for a bit until the target goes into her bedroom alone - you can get in a different route. Coin to distract her then execution method of choice. I used the lethal syringe but anything works because you can hide her body afterwards. Grabbed the safe key, went down to the ground floor of the other wing, distracted the lone security guard down there and took his outfit. Went back to the wing the target had been in, distracted the staff member by the fire alarm then pulled it. Off to the security room, open the safe and wipe the security tapes while everyone's distracted by the alarm. Exit. Silent assassin.

Brofessor Slayton posted:Isn't there idle chatter between guards on Colorado about a wrestler named The Hitman? It could be one hell of a season 2 level. Especially if you have the chance to get in the ring against one of your targets with full wrestling commentary, where they excuse anything short of gunning down your target because the guy you disguise as is a heel. It's on the radio that's playing around the camp's cooking area, and it's basically a joke about the concept of the level itself - The Hitman against the evil special forces terrorists.

StrixNebulosa posted:Two moments that stand out to me: in Paris, where Viktor shouts angrily at the staff and gives them a bad day because he can't have something his way. It made me feel really happy to murder him, because gently caress people who are rude to people who are just doing their job and can't talk back. The final mission in Hitman 2 is basically all about that. I feel like the satire was a lot sharper in this game - all the climate denial profiteering and tech entrepreneurs doing shady poo poo stuff was very on-the-nose but it's smart and witty about it too. One of my favourite little moments in the final mission is hearing two of the architects talking and even though these are the elite of the elite in a secret society they're still talking about the 'goddamn wage gap' because the male scientist has got ahead with less work.

Just killed Sean Bean. Silent assassin, though it took me a couple restarts because I got spotted trespassing or the like the first two times. I went to the meeting dressed as a kronstadt engineer (simple matter to get the disguise from the one who's pootling about in the coat check room), attended the meeting, then went upstairs and used a sink in a storage cupboard to lure a bodyguard. Fresh disguise with full access. I found a picture of the target on the upper floor of the centre (in Knox's office with the aircon), and input it into the android in the room where he goes to meet Yu. Easy kill, though it took about 19 minutes all told. They put a lot of effort into this one. Fun target.

Certainly there are a lot of Indian and Latin American names in the voice cast for the game.
