Battle Brothers! Stop coming to meetings drunk and trying to adopt Tevery Best!

Lord General! Stop standing on the table and making up stupid operation names!

Emperor, why do I put up with these people?
So that's how he did it he had the freaking dagger the whole time.

Also what the gently caress was up with that last save you made!?

Out of curiosity, can you swipe the Athame and then talk to him?

That’s a no. He takes the dagger back if he catches you, and once you escape you can’t go back in.

The man has been playing fast & loose with Office Witch Safety Procedures for the past ever because he had the +5 Adamantine Shiv Of Witch Immunity.

Imagine the habits he'll have to break himself of before he loving dies from a single casual misstep that he's used to.

He's already in a hell of his own making now.

That spooky last save was really neat. It would be cool if the save images got more and more disturbing and maybe there was some sort of penalty or bad end for using a certain amount

Coming up from Class R, Hugo must have been hired as a hunter like Pasternack, so I imagine The Witch would be very interested in him.

I looked up some names to see if there was any fun hidden meaning there, and Pasternack means parsnip. Brian means noble. So, Noble Parsnip.

Hugo = mind.
Kate is probably a reference to Saint Catherine of Alexandria, of 'Catherine Wheel' fame. Nothing on Hicks, other than, you know, hicks
Sosa = seaweed, Marta = lady or daughter
Chapman = merchant, Anthony = priceless
Doshi = also merchant (of cloth), Inay = godlike
Malone means servant St John and Jenna comes from Guinevere, but may just referencing the actress Jena Malone.
Rostov = growth, Irina a greek goddess of peace

Rei can mean friend or shepherd in hebrew, king in portugese, and a lot of things in Japanese depending on how it's written. Including 'small bell', 'ghost', and 'return'

I'm not in LOVE with the name. It's certainly not describing Pasternack.

Maybe the Yuppie Psycho is Hugo?


Edit New achievements: looks like one is for "Finding Sintra's Ghost in Corvo's Sintranet"

I have to believe that's something different than the glitched out one that gives us the code to Corvo's pace, because that's required for game progression, and it'd be weird to add another game-progression achievement at this point. Maybe she shows up after the party? I'll check and confirm.

The other one is for never using a photocopier in the game. I'll have to add that as a bonus run. I don't really see that being a problem.

Huh, I assumed the no-photocopier challenge was already a thing, possibly giving a special ending, since there's a line about Brian having used the soul-stealing paper. Also it's always been a thing in RE games to get a better ranking (not saving).

Spader’s weird, but in the end, he’s still a contractor and doesn’t want to get involved in your company politics.

(Also, I can’t imagine him not being a reference to James Spader, villain of ‘80s John Hughes movies and villain/weirdo in many other movies)

Spader strikes me as just... above all this mess? He's a contracted worker, so the Witch is just a temporary problem for him.

Given that the Athame is said to 'ward away the Witch' do you take less damage if it's in your inventory? Do enemies ignore you or is it harder for them to find you?

Man those artworks are unsettling. They reminded me of Keith Thompson's nightmarish art.

While we're at it, some of the Videoclub Misterio stuff reminds me a bit of that super weird twelve minute long extended trailer for Silent Hill 4.

Whoever's got the biggest whiskers does the talking.
Spader is definitely an oddball.

He's above the Witch/Hugo antics.

He's immune to the occult powers of the Lady in Red (and yes, even at the final location, the LiR will happily murder you if you decide to look at it).

His art gallery (real artist/paintings btw)

THE RECEPTIONISTS....ugh

And yet he's a good guy, at least for our purposes.

But I wouldn't be surprised if he was committing some sort of heinous/blasphemous/evil poo poo SOMEWHERE.

The witch's existence proves at the very least that the occult exists in this world, so maybe Spader has his own occult based thing....

Or maybe he is devil, who knows?

I should note that he is a contracted worker. You know who is often depicted as making contracts? The devil.

Edit: To clarify, I mean things like summoning a demon/what-have-you often being depicted as forming a contract with it, which could be considered contracted work on the demon's part.

I don't know if it's going to be DLC, or if it's going to just be a free update, but it REALLY seems like there's more content coming.

In particular there's no way to get in the locked door on the third floor (Doshi's floor), and there are a bunch of assets and a potential future boss fight already designed and in the game files.

Also that bricked up 6th floor that's mentioned in documents as being some kind of weapons development? Or something? Completely sealed off, but very mysterious! There's also that tower of cubicles in the Hive that might be related to something - didn't seem like just a throwaway gag to me, at least. There's quite a lot of odd places that feel like they could have been expanded just a bit more.

Speaking of the 4th floor and places that could be expanded on, there's that section of the hive that's blocked off by the line of jackass employees.

There's a LOT of places that could be elaborated on in this game, but the 3rd and 6th floors are definitely the most obvious picks.

Well, I got the two new achievements.

I probably WON'T be showing off the "don't use any witch paper" run - it's honestly identical to the one you'll see here. It doesn't look like anything unique or different happens, which is kind of a bummer. It's not really even a challenge run - I was sitting on a mountain of coffee and cheese sandwiches by the end (you can use all your cheese for sandwiches, since you're obviously not hurting for Witch Paper).

The other new achievement is... notable. It's presented here!

She's very faint, even when playing.



I highlighted her head here - you can probably at least make out the eyes!

SO OK, there's ooooooooone little detail we left out!



WE HAVEN'T RESCUED OUR FRIENDS! (Including of course Sosa)

As I explain in the video, because we're being perfect little brainiacs, we can actually skip this puzzle, but nuts to THAT.

YOUR JOB, o droogs, is to match up the the following list of grubs (by location) with the following list of names

GRUBS

* Corvo's Sintranet
* The lair of the insane giant naked guy with the filing cabinet strapped to his back
* The forest, near the hermit
* Videoclub Misterio
* Advancement Trial Room

NAMES

* Kate
* Tony
* Marta
* Irina
* Inay
* Jenna

Feel free to look at old videos, to reason with the other clues provided. I would of course encourage you not to look up walkthroughs - it's more fun with a little danger, no?

Correct guesses will - do SOMETHING. Free the souls of our co-workers probably.

Incorrect guesses will almost certainly be... very bad.

I told you in the video you get a freebie. If you want extra challenge, don't look below, otherwise...

Irina Rostov is in The Lair of the giant naked guy. I'll post a picture of her at the party later, plus she's mostly associated with this floor, being a worker here.
