All I can say about that update is that the guard spawns were magical.

Just a bunch of guys standing in the same space being eaten by rats as they slowly shift apart into fully separate bodies.

I honestly thought they did. I tried a ghost run knocking out every guard and there were alerts anyway. I assumed they were waking up.

I'm fairly sure guards spawn during major mission objectives. The easiest way to get around alerts being raised from finding bodies this is to hide them, preferably in absurd and out of the way places. The first time I tried to do a Ghost/Clean Hands run in the main game I hid like 10 unconscious Overseers on the ledge outside the second storey of the Abbey. On light fixtures and on top of cabinets are two more excellent places.

Yeah, you can see it on the Golden Cat mission where I stuff a dude into some shrubbery on the way to rescue Emily then on the way back newly spawned dudes there to make my run home a little less care-free have already found him and are trying to find who is responsible.

Guard spawning is a delicate process. Predators like rats await the larval guards, in order to strike when their prey is at its most vulnerable.

I just finished a Ghost/Clean Hands run and was delighted to find out that the game doesn't give a poo poo if bodies were found, neither for the checkmarks indicating Ghost and No Alerts nor for the Achievement itself. The only thing Bodies Found influences is Chaos rating, and of course if you're still around the attentiveness of the guards themselves.

Really? I was pretty sure the only thing that influenced Chaos level was a few side missions (poison the Hatter's still) and actual kills.

As long as people aren't actually dead, there shouldn't be a bump in chaos.

I'm not aware of that causing a rise in Chaos. I'll tweet Harvey Smith and ask though, he's been super active on Twitter recently for obvious reasons!

I don't think finding bodies directly affects Chaos, but if a guard finds bodies and activates an alarm, that will definitely raise Chaos a bit.

Also, if you liked Ghost/Clean Hands, try doing Ghost/Clean Hands/Mostly Flesh and Steel in a single run. It's a helluva lot of fun.

The biggest thing that'll drive you insane about Mostly Flesh and Steel is not having Agility 1/double jump. Beyond that it's an interesting but not unfair challenge.

It also gives you motivation to figure out how to best gently caress around with game mechanics. Ex. In Daud's base he literally never looks under the table directly behind him so you can just crouch under there and listen to the "greatest assassin of the age" monologue about the Lord Regent.

I might have misunderstood the first thing. My information was mostly from GameFAQs and reddit threads after googling if bodies found breaks Ghost/Clean Hands, the Chaos thing was incidental and possibly wrong info.

I might do MFaS next, but I got tired of avoiding confrontation. I will instead make use of all the conventional weapons instead...
