Alexa’s grave can be found in the graveyard, with flowers and all covered up, which means it probably takes place after H3, but it’s a bit weird for IO to do this when they said they didn’t add new maps/missions because H3 was the end of the story (If I am correct).

After completing Level 1 in Deterministic Mode, levels 2 and 3 should be deterministic as well, including judges on Level 3.

Yeah, I’ve been exploring for quite a while and I haven’t managed to get anyone on stage yet but I’m sure I’m missing something obvious, and it doesn’t seem scripted. Maybe some way to declare a winner? I’m having fun trying to work it out. Feels like a whole new level so far, which is really cool.
The one place I didn’t check of course! 
thanks!

you are correct, but this is not a new map. We are already seeing alterations to existing maps and they have never had an issue doing that.

The staff disguise seems the most useful since with that you can poison food, sabotage gas lamps and even swap the microphone without causing suspicion. Not sure if there are more than two male staff members though and the other one is just standing at the bar.
EDIT: Found a third one sitting on a bench and another inside the manor.

Just went though it, Really enjoyed it and really felt like a nice little mini story in the map and levels. Each Target has some nice paths and opportunities. Map as well just felt rather pleasant to wander around and makes a nice change from the more darker tones Hitman 3 gave.
As mentioned earlier some of the non target NPCs are perhaps little too static but still good alternative for a Dartmoor contracts mission and escalation for when want to do a nice quick easy mission.
Also the Hunting Attire fits right-in here.

Must admit kinda wish they allowed the Gardner disguise to tamper with equipment, Would make both disguises equally useful on the map. But small nitpick.

Any word on the ladder shortcut issue?

Also, i think this is the perfect way to do an escalation. It’s like a normal contract but 3 times different. It’s very cool

Deterministic mode allows you to choose your targets in each stage as opposed to the random original mode that chooses for you (and sets it to a sort of story where one contestant wants to eliminate the competition and the judges that aren’t going to vote for them)

The Garden Show shows up in the statistics tab as its own thing. Which is nice. But i would love to do The classics again and not have them checkmarked from the get-go. Oh and it uses the freeform training silhoutte in statistics.

It took me a minute to get it grammatically… I don’t think they’re related. I think deterministic mode lets you play the escalation differently and contract creator just uses stage 1 where everyone is still alive

Amazing how a free escalation is better than most of the paid ones

Hey, I was right. What did I win? 
Just finished it for the first time. Targets were rather easy to kill SA, but the map looks gorgeous.

These were highlights for me as well
That’s what I wore in the first time.
Overall, I love what they’ve done with the place and I like that random and deterministic seem to have their own benefits. If you play random, there’s a little story there and if you play deterministic, you can help the poor lady who can’t come up with anything.
I’m not as down on the bonus content as some people but this was the best one yet. If IO keeps improving and perfecting their bonus mission/escalation hybrid, I’d be happy to get more things like this. (They could ramp up the difficulty a little, though, if they wanted)

What ladder issue? It just isn’t available because you can’t get to the upper level of the house at all.
