I will add on the “The fixer needs to be playable, but not as a ET, arcade is best” pile.
- There will be backlash if he is released as a proper live ET. The Fixer is a confusing mess objectives wise. He is not using the normal language of the game.
- He has a lot of automatic failure points. He goes against the current philosophy of the game and what players were taught,
- Those failure points are from the old way knock out worked. Sedatives were changed after to retain Silent Assassin. And players will not understand why using them as usual is somehow a failure for this one contract.
I want to point out that Travis, previous communication manager, made a similar ask two years ago, will polls.
It’s not all that relevant, since it was put in action, so demands were mostly met, and then moved.
But it’s a good additional data point you might be interested in @Combatglue .
As for CelebrET, I would have preference towards actors.
I’m interested in the playful Writing of them as much as the surprise of the person chosen. Actors are more ready for it. More flexible.
I will just say that Giancarlo Esposito worked with Payday.
A subversion of his usual role, for a genuinely affable, fun character, maybe a bit of a fool that overstepped accidentally, over his head and knows it would be fun to see.
Just, please don’t have people like the last one. You know why.
I think the term CelebrET should also be embraced.
