That appears to be the library at Dartmoor in The Wrath Termination, everyone's least favorite escalation campaign from the 7 Deadly Sins.

This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.
I've got detailed reviews/tips/guides to the deadly seven starting here with links to posts on the other sins (and also all the other escalations) at the bottom of the post. Wrath was time-consuming, but my most hated sins are still Sloth (basically the anti-fun, just atrocious) followed closely by Greed (a series of incredibly touchy manhitting if you're 100%ing).

47: Ok :geno:
Diana: It's important you know the context, and why it's a good thing that these people die.
47: If you insist. :geno:

The Noel Crest kill is still a case where 47 could literally hand the guy his earpiece and he'd no longer be a problem.

Let's be honest, 47 just wants the backstory so he can plan for the most ironic kills.

Yes and expand on the Berlin gimmick to have the target change clothes and switch to a different routine to try to evade you.

Shame that there are a bunch of songs from a far right piece of poo poo running through the movie, which I really wish wasn't the case :smith:. Let's hope the actual 47 listens to different music at least.

Is the Arrange Meeting objective still borked? I was doing a final showdown the other day, and the very first suspect I came across fit all the traits and I got a little trigger happy and popped them before remembering I was supposed to arrange a meeting. But the objective didn't auto-fail, which seemed to imply that it was still possible to complete it by grabbing the phone of a different suspect? Arranging a meeting using the phone from the leader, however, both didn't work and didn't lure anybody to it, and I was consequently unable to set a meeting with a different phone because the first meeting was still active.

All in all, it was still pretty satisfying to finish the final showdown in under 3 minutes, 5000 mercs be damned.

Did IOI break Bangkok at some point? I'm trying to do the mission story with the microphone, I've got to the point where you do the jam session and Wes keeps cutting it off as soon as it starts then restarting immediately.

I had an issue with Bangkok recently too, but with the cake topper story; Jordan just never came down for the party. I'm a bit suspicious given your similar experience.

The scripting around the events in Bangkok has always been at least a little buggy, I believe tied to some interaction between Jordan and his agent.

Is anyone aware of any documentation of how the dealer and agency stash spawns in freelancer work? I'm trying to figure out why I virtually never find guns in them.

No documentation but I can give you my anecdotal experience:

- You will only find Common and Rare items
- It will be mostly pistols, with a couple of shotguns and SMGs as well. The Bartoli Sawed-Off (non-gold), Dak Black Covert, and TAC-SMG are confirmed to be there, but I can't remember any of the others. All Common or Rare pistols can appear there.
- Melee items can show up, but it was so exceedingly rare for me I can only remember it happening twice - the Quickdraw and Concealable Baton.

How to actually find them, I can't offer anything. I found anywhere from 3-7 per Prestige, and went from finding 0 on a full campaign, to 2 in a single mission.

That one was always fairly...sensitive...for me, shall we say. I spent a good 40 minutes figuring out how to get it working in the end, but this was, like, two years ago, so I've forgotten exactly how that was, by now. Sorry.

Had a similar issue the last time I did that mission story. I think the online solution I found was that I needed to bump into Wes to either move him a bit or to interrupt his routine.

Edit: Or maybe I even set off an explosion on a nearby balcony to panic him for a bit. Either way, Wes might be the issue.

The challenges related to mission stories in Hitman 3 didn't carry over from 2, so I also did several of them again waiting for the first patch for Freelancer mode. I don't remember Bangkok having this (kind of) issue when ported to 2.
