This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.

The game taunts me with it every time I start it up - "oh hey, an ET is active... no wait, YOU FAILED IT!"

Oh that part is the worst. I can feel it judging me, or at least I could on last ET when I had a Sightline Incident.

I took her book by mistake, forgetting that locked me in, then I panicked and poison syringed her while someone could see me. Now I have a failed ET on my record... I feel so dirty.

I did this but emetic syringing her bodyguard to try to get rid of him. Whoopsie.

Anyway I'm surprised so many of you scope and then restart! To each their own, but the appeal of the ETs to me is that they're so very different from the rest of the Hitman gameplay. You may know the map back to front, but you genuinely have to go in blind to some extent, think on the fly, improvise and sometimes things go very wrong. I always only give myself one shot at it. (This is also probably why I don't think I've ever got SA on any of them, and also failed quite a few of them.)

I still haven't even reached the penthouse.

Getting the King of the Castle challenge was a blast because I just put on a suit of armor and went apeshit with a machine gun killing EVERYBODY so I could get to the other sister and drag her unconscious body up to the Penthouse

There may be a different/more efficient way to get her up there, but it wouldn't be as cathartic as killing a gathering of the world's worst people.

... Because you forgot the poor, innocent entertainers. And probably the warehouse maintenance guys.

I'd probably keep Blake Nathaniel alive too - knowing his doppelganger, he's probably killed more people than 47, but they were all Sophia's goons so whatev.

Nah. Well, some shitheads maybe (the butler) but iirc doing the fire ceremony involves pathing around a conversation where they literally say they get paid to be quiet, not to care and thats why Zoe is allowed to do the cage thing.

Yeah, some rich gently caress in the first bar room talks about how "little" it takes to pay off working class people to serve them. Like just pay for their children's education and they're bought!

they seem to have broken the little cleaning pool that vanya shah uses to wash her hands. Before I was able to electrocute her by throwing a car battery in there, but now she'll be washing her hands merriliy while a car battery or taser is sparking electricity everywhere. And she doesn't get hurt.

I couldn't make that one work myself a few months ago, ended up using the reflecting pool opportunity to get my electrocution kill instead

on a level like hokkaido, where there are cliffs, you can walk to the top of them to strangle the guy up there. they don't let you climb they're just a fiber wire, i don't know why i mentioned the cliffs

Hes the guy in that room above the art gallery who asks the guards for a peek at the cool Illuminati stuff they're doing upstairs and when they won't let him pass he grumbles a bit and starts reading a book. I didn't know it was him either until it came up in Contracts

I was able to do so early after release but lately it's been very fickle and I don't know what they changed but i hate it.

other than the kill challenges is there any fun stuff that can be uncovered in hokkaido winter festival? It seems very shallow, and I got though all of the kill challenges in ~30 mins. Am I missing anything cool somehow?

Have you tries throwing it at their head so it lands at their feet? That was how I got it to work for the fireworks factory guy in Hokkaido while he cleaned up a spill in the bathroom.

IIRC, if you look at Helmut Kruger closely, there's enough differences to show they merely share some common distinctive features rather than being identical. (the cheekbones mainly)
