I’ll say it, I don’t really like this Sin. The RNG mechanics to it and the 1/1 escalation design feels off and while conceptually new in the sense that you can do this Sin entirely as a pacifist this sin arguably isn’t fun compared to Pride or Sloth atleast to me that’s the case.
I can’t fault IO for the sins content at this rate since they are trying to make self contained DLC content without expanding upon any further lore/story from the WoA trilogy to where it feel necessary for a story that has since been concluded. With that being said I do think these type of premium content don’t work for HITMAN and hope IO takes what they have done in the past and see what actually works for a title such as Hitman.
Yes, we have received a large sum of content in HITMAN 3’s life cycle I still remain adamant that none of it so far has felt meaningful in the sense of replayability. I do hope after sins IO gives Hitman 3 a proper sendoff cause I don’t see sins being that for HITMAN 3.

Im not 100% i just think it might happen. Itd make sense
it’s also a great tie-in with lust, because of how “love is blind”. so I think they were gonna add a blinding item regardless because of the theme. however, it’s cool that they listened to fans and did it with a crossbow instead.
i’ll probably never use it though😬

Any TPB fans here?
After numerous restarts hearing Lust ask me if I like to party…

I have become one after what I think was your recommendation some time ago. I’ve been through all 12 seasons of the main show, the 2 seasons of the animated show, and I’m currently working through the other shows they’ve done. Outrageously brilliant!

Got this escalation done yesterday. Yeah, it took quite a while, ended up finishing a 30-minute run. The trick was to look for the keys first.
I still didn’t get Silent Assassin (I’m both glad/disappointed there isn’t a challenge for that), but I unlocked all the safes, found the admirer, killed the Pretenders (though apparently I missed one or two).
Some of the lighting changes were pretty cool. Bit sad it’s only the main dance floor that’s majorly changed.
I really wonder why the Serpent’s Bite explosive is illegal. Feel like it’s inconspicuous enough that it shouldn’t trigger people to run and scream (though maybe the ‘illegal’ part is that it looks like a coil of living snakes!) I’d be open for them to change it in a patch however. Doesn’t seem like it’d make it OP.
I think I have an idea for the Lust Art, giving a bouquet, though that doesn’t seem ‘lusty’ enough… and how would I incorporate the snake…?

I too wondered why it is illegal. It looks like a bracelet or ring, which shouldn’t be illegal. Something like the semtex bomb is clearly an explosive but this doesn’t look like one at all. It shouldn’t be any more illegal than a coin is.
Whether that would make it over-powered or not, I don’t know, but logically, there’s nothing about it that looks illegal so I don’t understand why it is.

I love this escalation. It took me two hours to complete but I did it the hard way 
I killed a lot of the guards to get them out of the way 
The first floor looks so beautiful with the fairy light curtains. I love the theme. I also adore the woman’s look and her voice
I am sad though that only the starting location is different. I didn’t expect the whole map to change but I was hoping there would be lusty decorations throughout the club. It did feel weird that there’s a formal masquerade party on the dancefloor but the rest of the map is full of techno ravers I wish they would of used the trailer song. It would fit the level a lot more than the Isle of Sgail classical music
I did find the crossbow really underwhelming. It would be better to use a tranquilizer as the crossbow makes people panic. I also don’t understand why the serpent’s bite is illegal as it looks like jewelry.

Hard as fuck.
My whole thing was no unconscious witnesses. So lots of restarts.
Hours and hours later, I get on a run where I’ve opened 3/6 safes with nary an unconscious witness, trespassing alert etc, only to pick the wrong admirer.
The next night, on my very first attempt, I get 5/6 safes without witnesses and pick the right admirer. So I start to go for broke and pick off pretenders. Kill two of them before accidentally taking out a fucking police baton on the dance floor and causing panic.
I still sit my ass in the chair in time to see a Mission Accomplished, but it’s back to the drawing board for now…

What the actual feck?

I know the feeling. I eliminated the 2 women because I wanted to use the coin and silenced pistol. Of course, I closed the door to the Projection Bar having learned the hard way that they can spot you dragging a body to the container behind the record player. Luckily neither of them was the admirer so I went on my way to opening the safes. Still took almost 30 minutes but it was fun.

Played a bit of this tonight since there’s still 2 challenges I need to complete (kill all pretenders and find the admirer with 3 clues).
I’m wondering why they didn’t release this in the Special Assignment group. It works way better that way, could enable saving, and would allow for more experimentation. Having it be a one-level escalation is pretty redundant in hindsight.

Finally got those last two challenges completed.
Given that this took me 90 minutes, I’ve got a few things to say about how this might be improved.
- Since this is only a 1-level escalation I think it would work better as a special assignment or bonus mission. If only to let us save, because things can go wrong fast and often do.
- If you pick the wrong admirer it insta-fails. I think it would work a lot better if you were forced to find another clue to try again, rather than completely restart (where the safes would be randomised again, and have to find 3 to pick up a bouquet)
2.1. Have more than 6 safes active at one time. It feels very limiting to have the specific 6 clues to find each time instead of having 8, where there’s a bit more choice in what’s easier vs what’s harder on the map (having 3 end up in the biker’s place is not a cool time). - Somehow make the pretenders/lovers incapable of compromising you. Or, at least until you threaten them.
Often you’ll be compromised by a guard and then hunted down. You better pray that doesn’t happen in the basement level or you’re not chased there, since it can quickly spread to the dance floor and you’ll never be able to give the admirer the flowers. (Also sometimes pretenders seek shelter in the floors above and it makes finding them very hard.) - Forgot to mention: removing the Suit-only restriction would be ideal. I get that it adds tension to retrieving the letters (solution would be to make it illegal for any disguise), but being restricted to just the one disguise that gets you compromised is a bit too much.
