To be fair Mr. 47 really isn't a bad guy. Sure he kills people for a living, but this is what he was genetically engineered to do. Shoot, the beginning of the second game he'd all up and retired and was chilling at a church in Italy where he had befriended a the priest who was in charge and he was trying to atone for his past 'sins'. That all went to hell when the priest was kidnapped by his enemies, and he had to get back into the business just to save his friend and spiritual advisor's life. Mr. 47 generally only takes out really bad dudes. Drug lords, pedophiles, dictators, war criminals. The people who everyone knows are bad, but they can't be dealt with legally. And this should really amuse you Eldar, in #2 there's evidence of 47 converting to Catholicism. :D

That sucks.

Yeah, it smoothed things over with Vandal the blood dealer pretty well. Although I am wondering about the alternate ways to pass that situation. I screwed up the whole "thin blood" quest on my first playthrough, then used dementation on Vandal as a Malk and now dominate as a Vantrue. However, there was a persuade option that led to Vandal asking me to tell a gruesome story about the worst way I'd "violenced up somebody," and he'd let me buy blood again. My only dialogue option at that point was "I'm no killer." I wonder if that was because of high humanity, and I wonder what you could say to satisfy him. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You can also pick a lock on one of the doors if you've got the skillz. I told him how I'd violenced up Gimble and it seemed to work.

I seem to remember an unofficial patch that fixes that. Have you tried it already? It's the key that comes out of the little robot right?

... I played the entire Japanese retreat level all out guns blazing and beat it. Not all that hard. Shoot through curtains and doors and other non-see through but shootable materials with thermal on, take out dudes before they really notice you, once they do and cover up you snipe.

I go for headshots, always. Chaos Theory though even the extremities were pretty lethal.

Eh true, but that takes awhile. I need to finish that game...

ON THE INSIDE!!!

Oh hells yes. I remember walking by somone in Blood Money think "OH SH!T HE'S GONNA SEE RIGHT THROUGH MY DISGUISE!!!" but you can stand next to enemies for an undefined amount of time without really arousing their suspcions. Other Hitman games it'd gradually rise as they 'caught on to inconsistencies' in your mannerisms and dress. Splinter Cell is a lot easier to fix a 'botched' stealth mission though. Blood Money you take just a few gunshots and you're down, and the guns aren't near as powerful as the Splinter Cell ones truth be told.

THIS IS WHY I CRY FOR YOU!!!

I'm neutral with an Anarchist bent apparently. Actually I already had myself pegged this way.

I DO THIS FOR YOU!

I weep on the inside for the stupidity of my compatriots in this grand ol' comedy of humanity constantly.

Oops. I didn't when my mom died and we were waiting for the mortuary people to come take her away. I didn't at the funeral. I haven't since then. I suspect someday I might just start sobbing for no apparent reason. My sister got pissed off at me for not being upset, my dad understood. She was in a lot of pain before she died, had a stroke and all she'd really done was sit in a chair in between hurting for a year. I was glad she was at peace. Still am. However I do cry, pretty often, not usually because of stuff that happens to me, but when reading an emotional part of a book, or watching a movie. Last time was when I was reading Preacher.

Think about it this way, if all hell breaks loose you can finish the game pretty easily either by shooting people or bopping them on the head in Chaos Theory. Hitman games...not so much.

No. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Why not? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Vamps stay in their own genre and sad end of the world background stays in theres. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, vampires are to stay in castles in Transylvania with totally rad horse and carriages and gypsy servants. Wait... I agree with Hades, this is an awesome idea. Bethesda are you listening? Also, weren't the vampires in Blade basically like this, minus the rads. Brahm Stoker? The original vampire book author?

Hitman is more stealthy than other games IMO. Also there's usually a lot of trial and error involved. Don't get me wrong, I like the game despite failing to have finished it yet, but if you're looking to break into stealthy type games go for something easier, like Splinter Cell.

I took my dad out to lunch.

Jaguars are neatoer aminals than Bears. Also they're a better Football team IMO.

What the hell are you on about Atreides?

Urge to flame...rising...

No.

Well you should. His stance is well thought out and eloquently put.

Steelers.

I actually prefer not drinking at all. It keeps me out of the gutter.
