So what gameplay options do people have on and off? I have Opportunities, Instinct, and the minimap off, and everything else as normal.

Im the same except I have minimap on with the target indicators off. I may turn it off now that Im learning how to play the game better. I do wish there was a way to just have a trespassing indicator independent of the minimap.

FactsAreUseless posted:I can't even imagine turning the dots off. How would you tell who's going to find you suspicious? It's such a core gameplay mechanic that it seems silly to turn off. The one thing Id say against this game is that who is suspicious when youre wearing their outfit is mildly arbitrary, and its annoying because on some maps they have a really good reason/character design explaining it (like Marrakesh where the officers all know youre not a real soldier and theyre wearing red caps) but in a lot of levels its just like one dude chilling by a car knows youre a faker. If there was more of a 1:1 on that mechanic Id be ok with turning the dots off. WOuld also make the game world feel even cooler to live in

I also think its really cool that servant class outfits are more invisible to your rich rear end in a top hat targets and the people they surround themselves with.

FactsAreUseless posted:It's pretty great. I like that in the labs in Sapienza, if you're a scientist other scientists will be suspicious, and if you're security other security will, but never cross-job. None of them know each other. It's neat. That was the entire idea behind Absolution's disguise system--anyone in the same outfit as you would be suspicious of you but anyone in a different one wouldn't, in addition to the usual stuff like disguises dictating where you can go and what weapons you can carry. Instinct was also a limited-use thing that you could burn to avoid suspicion from people in the same costume. It was a cool idea and in a way I liked the consistency of it over the mostly random nature of 2016 but I still prefer 2016's way overall.

i think the current system is a happy medium between blood money (your disguise works 100% of the time and only affects where you're allowed to go) and absolution (everyone with the same disguise as you will see through it, everyone else is completely fooled). having suspicion as a UI element is a bit unfortunate but i don't see how they could do it otherwise and i figure it's something like 47 picking up on subtle cues that someone's watching him and getting suspicious.

Novikov's bodyguard will of course find the bodies, but it's an accident kill.

I've been trying to get into this game for a while, I don't seem to be able to play it in spurts of more than an hour Still haven't done anything other than Paris but my last go was pretty epic entirely by accident Ciaphas posted:I forced myself over the last hour to play a game and chose Paris again, because I still haven't opened the other levels on account of not really knowing what I'm doing

Did a Sarajevo Six run yesterday and managed to SA all but The Mercenary in Colorado. Lots of fun and the final mission is pretty cool. Also did the escalations in the ICA Training Facility and a couple in Paris. It's really cool how the different escalation levels make you try totally new approaches you otherwise wouldn't. I found ways into the faux-Cuban military base that I hadn't known about beforehand.

lol I like 47 trying to be coy when he's talking with the artist when you're the drummer "So we are looking for a new drummer to carry out some new recordings" "...someone who can carry out a hit without being seen?" "Uhhhh sure" "Good. That's my specialty."

I think Colorado is my least favorite because of how disjointed it feels. Each target has their own area basically and it's very arbitrary what costume it takes to get into one area versus another. Sorry, only the terrorist in dark black can come in this area. Terrorist in regular black isn't allowed.
