And that idea was so good they reused it with soders.
I also love the voice acting of the Guards when you kill Deewana Ji with the Scalpel, makes me laugh every time.
Which is better in every way since you have multiple varied and involved options.

Uh this game from 18 years ago hasn’t as much options as the new ones
Which is why I feel very little reason to return to any of the pre-Blood Money games, they simply don’t have the same level of freedom of approach because IO didn’t hit what worked for the series until we all screamed “Blood Money was better!” after Absolution. They thought long and hard as to why Blood Money was loved and Absolution wasn’t then they realised was it offered more freedom of approach (and didn’t neuter the social stealth).

I really don’t mind that so much tbh, most of the Missions are well structured and fun to play even if they offer maybe 3-5 ways to do them.
The original Trilogy just never gets old to me, even with all the limitations they have.
I’d rather have 12-20 Missions with less options than 6 Missions with a shitload of options.
11:06 pm in Chicago on July 3rd; I may vote again when I wake up which will be my July 4th vote so I can celebrate not being Great Britain 2 all day by raising pints of ale and tossing down whiskey… hey! That’s what I would be doing on bank holiday if this place was called Great Britain 2

Look up and down the board and think “Is trying to save Ji really worth it”?. Is it really the most constructive use of your points and time?

Nothing i do in life is, so i dont care 
I dont get how you guys complain about Deewana Ji being a stationary Target with like 1 proper way to do it, when Hayamoto Jr. Is exactly the same. He walks from the helicopter to his table and then never moves again, and the only other way to kill him SA is to lure him out during the ridiculous small time frame hes walking outside?
I’m perfectly honest with you, i cant pull off something like that https://youtu.be/ozlTvUfd5oA
So its down to exactly one way to get him again.

But even a minute is precious and all of that.
Because the fugu kill is kind of awesome, it is one of the moments where you feel like an unseen assassin: In and out with no-one the wiser. Plus generic yakuza guys are better than generic doomsday cultists.

But so is the open heart surgery. I like both missions, its just weird to me how different y’all rate them.
I just like the subtly a bit more. Not saying you should hate Ji’s kill (aside from a joking manner of course) just that Hayamoto’s is one I prefer more.

Only one target left, let’s discuss contracts’ targets.
It gets a bit complicated:
- Should I include C47 targets, Lee Hong for instance? I mean, they’re no different in personality.
- Should Lotus guys (3 of the last 4 in the list) be included?
- Any other targets like the Spetsnaz Agent I should include?
This for now:
Campbell Sturrock
Andrei Puscus
Fabian Fuchs
Sergei Bjarkhov
Winston Beldingford
Alistair Beldingford
Klaas Teller
Rutgert Van Leuven
Fritz Fuchs
Blue Lotus Negotiator (first)
