I'm currently playing through all of Hitman series from start to finish and i have to say Blood Money is something else. The level design? mission structure and variety? The newspaper? it's the best one out of the first 4 and it's not even close imo. What i've come here to say is, playing through the previous titles made me more patience and more willing to invest my time in missions to get silent assassin ranking. When i bought Hitman on PS4 i didn't have the patience to do anything and dropped it after the first level. Now i'm in love with the series and i think playing through all of it will make me enjoy the new ones even more.

Has anyone found any lethal poison vials or pills in Sgail? I want to murder the entire council. I checked the Hitman maps website, but didn't see any lethal poison listed. I can smuggle in 2 of them, but need 3 more to get them all.
Edit: I found one. Jason Portman has a botulism toxin on him.

I think the mechanic about people stopping by your stand is a little bugged. I had the same situation in this stand and also in other ones. Sometimes the target or an NPC just ignores me. Maybe the game is still thinking I'm interacting with the previous customer?
I suspect we get Sean Bean targets on every location apart from hawkes bay keep the running of him not dying going
My copy finally came in after getting a great deal. This is going to sound like a really dumb question, but how the hell do you change the difficulty settings? I feel like I tried going through every menu a hundred times. I just want to see what the differences are. I plan to play through my first attempts with a SASO rating just like the first game, it was a ton of fun.
you pick it when you go to start a mission. it's on the planning screen.
Man, how the hell did I miss that, I swear I checked everywhere. Thanks.
You're not the first one to miss it. I saw Dave Lang getting confused about this on stream, and he's a video game professional.
Ok, this is hilarious and kinda sad.
First run in Mumbai, start on master difficulty to just explore around and get a feel. I see an actor in a crow outfit throwing up and I push him in a river. An NPC walking by over the bridge

Sees me so I shoot him and then it goes 47 you have just killed the maelstrom
lol
Out of all the hundreds of random NPCs on the map, the first on I randomly kill is him.
Sad part is now I miss the whole mechanics to figure out who he is (I'll still go through them to check them out) because now I know who he is and his route. I even tried it again to see if the mission randomly assigns him to a different NPC each run, but nope killed the same npc over the bridge and it was him again. Oh well, kinda amazing and kinda sad.
If the mechanic behind his identity was randomized somewhat it would've been cool in a Westwood Blade Runner way.

I got around to starting Colombia today and although it's not as good as Miami, it's still a damn fine level. The Sumo guys really learned from some of the criticism around Colorado and built a better level in that vein. The village area is really cool; I wouldn't have minded if it was a bit bigger. The level has got plenty of that twist back around on itself I love so much. The mission does seem a little light on assassinations though even with 3 targets. It only has 13 challenges where Miami had 18.
It absolutely has made me laugh the most out of any level yet. The
kill are so dumb looking, I love it. Hope we get Ghost Mode on more levels soon, would love to dig into the level more without just rushing through the single player portion. The escalation was fun enough though.

sub and cement
I think a level designer explained it earlier in the thread, the appearance is randomised but the NPC is always the same otherwise it'll tick off speedrunners
Already curious to see how they "remix" these levels for bonus missions and elusive targets.
New Zealand: The beach is open to the public, with some sort of festival or concert event going on there, while a party/gathering is happening inside the beach house.
Miami: Being tasked with taking out a target who is hanging around the VIP lounge during a night-time race would be interesting. I think it'd be hard to repurpose that whole side of the map for a non-racing theme. Maybe something that makes more use of the hotel area?
Colombia: A bonus mission focusing just on the mansion and grounds feels like an obvious one. I'd like to see an elusive target set underground, but based on early signs I worry they'd require you to start as a sub engineer and take all the intrigue out of it.
Mumbai: There are so many options here, with all those different unique areas. Any one of the tower, slums, railyard or hideout would work as an isolated mini-level for a bonus mission
Vermont: I know a lot of people have been asking for a winter/holiday themed version of this map, which would be cool. I'd like to see an elusive target make use of one of the emptier houses, too.
Sgail: It's hard to know where to begin with this; I don't have a good grasp yet of the different areas and layout.

I just need to know if we find out the fate of Max (the dog.) If this is addressed/referenced later in the game as I am still relatively early then pay me no mind but I assume it is left as is for now.
How do I trigger that octane explosion in the Miami lab? Am I supposed to throw those little explosive canisters at it?
They already used a movie set, but some kind of museum, tour guide, some sort of archeological preservation signing involving VIPs, I reckon there's a bunch of things you could still do.
For the elusive target? There's a detonator in the locked cabinet in the lab.
Just played through Hitman inside H2. That was it? Never played a title before and it was short. Ending seemed like a major cliff hanger.
Did you just run through the levels one time?
The levels are designed to be played over and over to unlock more gear.
I am definitely excited to play Hitman 2 because of the cliff hanger.

i think there's an argument to be made that hitman is perhaps one of the finest slapstick comedy generators ever invented
I pretty much played through each one, a few twice. I understood that the draw is multiple play ways, but I still expected more? Guess it isn't my type of game. Still have Patient Zero to play.
i remain dissatisfied with ways of clearing out rooms that basically come down to 'lure people out one at a time by throwing shit at a wall and knocking out people who come to investigate'
that's alright once in a while but clearing a whole room like that is kinda annoying to me

lol that's how I took out bean's guards that followed him everywhere. It felt so lame, as "cheating" should.
I got rid of Bean in an extremely lame but "Safe" way to just get the kill and not risk it.
Just got in the meeting, dropped the rubber duck at his feet, and BOLTED as I hit the detonator. Deleted the tapes on my way out - Not Silent Assassin, but no Collateral and uncompromised.
Which is far better than I can say for my first run of Mumbai which was a complete massacre.

The one liners are my favorite part of the game. It's so funny hear him say these deadpan lines implying someone will die.
Well I kinda hate how starting at a certain point like every goddamn elusive in S1 had bodyguards following them around so you were pretty much forced to either pick them off one by one or use a rat poison drink to get them alone in the bathroom if you wanted SA. They even had some where the bodyguards went into the bathroom I remember so you were forced to just pick the bodyguards off one by one and it's kinda tedious elusive after elusive.
I liked some of the earlier ones like the 2 hacker guys in the Paris upstairs attic room with a guard outside the room. That was kinda an interesting setup. The one with the twins was interesting too in Sapienza. Definitely prefer that kinda stuff vs "guy/gal walks around in a routine with 1-2 bodyguards following them everywhere"
I finished a Miami contract that I enjoyed making. It has a little story to it. Problem is it's hard or too long or convoluted or too many targets, so it's probably bad. But if you want to try a hard, involved contract, the ID is below (Contract Lookup supports copy-paste).
You need to have Miami at high enough mastery to start as the waiter.

"Jade Flames Axe-tinguished"
Contract Lookup #: 1-11-7749959-43
"47, Moses Lee has uncovered a conspiracy against his life. The traitor is fellow Jade Flame gang-member, Henry Ling. Ling is furious he was sidelined on the roster by Lee. Our employer will provide you a cover as a waiter in the driver's lounge club, Daufgänger.
Update: 47, we've obtained the identities of Ling's co-conspirators: another JF-member who's a Kowoon mechanic, a bomb-delivery-boy and the bomb supplier, GIR's own event manager.
Lee requests you execute JF traitors according to tradition: by fire axe. And be sure to give Maxwell Rutter a taste of his own medicine."

Also, add me on Steam so I have more Hitmanners to leaderboard against when I'm in the mood.

Yeah I think it's a problem they need to address. It only gets worse when you don't use disguises
Finally got a chance to play. Yup, it's more Hitman, which is exactly what I wanted.
A small part of me would love it if Faba was the elusive target every time, with Diana getting slightly more exasperated with each intro.

I think it's safe to say he will return, maybe not every time.
i hope not every time
