I found that out probably like a decade later through a reddit post lol.

OMG! I’ve played New York a lot. A LOT! My favorite map. Didn’t know this. On a related note: I only just realized you can climb into the kitchen in Sapienza from the roof of your appartement and don’t have to go through the door:

If you ko or kill Tamara’s guard while he’s in the parking lot, and then wait for Diana’s conversation with Tamara as they walk outside the reception, another guard that looks exactly like her bodyguard will take his place 
.
But if you disrupt that conversation by panicking or dropping something in front of them, the guard will not replace him.

Is this new guard anywhere on the map at the start? Or does he spawn somewhere?

I think I’m going to do a KO ALL guards for Mendoza next. Maybe stash them all in the freezer, or all in the floor where the wine floods, or the grape crusher. Not sure yet. Then see if any respawn when doing the meeting with Tamara.
Why? I’m wondering how many different respawning NPCs there are. Like the band members.

I think it’s pretty unlikely that it’ll summon new NPCs - I’m pretty sure it would take guards from the group that confronts 47 in the cinema.

I had a good number of them killed. Then Don, Tamara, and Diana were in the basement having their meeting… I rushed over, killed one suited bodyguard, all of the heralds… Don, Tamara, and Diana all ran away… They eventually come back. I then shot Don in the face with a shotgun and walked away… Then the game froze… and crashed.
It was all while offline. Hopefully it saved.
Edit: It did save… Eventually I put Don in the garden shredder. Tamara and Diana kept returning to the table, and didn’t move until I shredded Don.
I don’t know if I missed them or if they spawned in from who-knows-where, but 2 of the guards that walk around the grapes and lilacs area were around the dining area. I killed those as well.
Here’s the weirdest thing! Diana told me in Tamara’s voice (something like) “Get lost buddy, nothing to see here.” 
I’ll try to get a screenshot if she does it again.
Edit2: Or maybe it was Tamara? 2nd encounter that happened like that it was Tamara that said something like; “(not interested) you’re barking up the wrong tree.”
All that was to get the meeting with Tamara, but I was never able to talk to Diana. So maybe it does pull living guards from anywhere to become bodyguards for the meeting in the theatre.

So if you didn’t know, if you sabotage the wine pumps in Mendoza, Tamara and Diana will observe and comment on the chaos…but If you kill Tamara AND THEN sabotage the wine pumps and then go to Diana as she’s observing the chaos, an extremely short exchange between 47 and Diana will happen.
Diana: “Such a waste, wouldn’t you say, Mr. Rieper?”
47: “I prefer French wine myself”

I noticed these floor panels on the other side of the kitchen building in Sapienza. Like they’d be storage compartments. As long as I’ve played this I don’t know why they caught my attention this time. What could be under/inside them? 
And while playing Freelancer, I had a PO, SA (something). I was holding an illegal item while inside some foilage, but the NPC I distracted into it could see me holding it and I was compromised. I thought that was the whole point of being in the grass/etc. To f_king hide! Now, I’ve had it happen when an NPC was right on me, but this guy wasn’t that close.
Oh well. I’ll always remember that because that was completely unexpected.

I often used this ledge to get from the Showroom to the Security Room through the windows. Now it’s not possible anymore. Does anyone know when this change was made?

It is like that in the master version of Sgail, was it an alerted territory?
5 Likes
It’s a Master mode thing (already been like that in H2 IIRC) so it probably carries over to alerted Sgail. It’s much easier to shoot the recorder in the chapel or in the room below Block if you want to disable cameras anyway :x

Ah, right. Was alerted.
Was on a no fire arms run. So this wasn’t an option. Easier to just ko those two guards in there.

Found out that the Colorado Wicker Man easter egg doesn’t burn/kill unconscious NPCs. 
It is a satisfying way of dealing with Patrick Morgan, though.

Hmmm. Could be a fun (albeit very long) way to fire accident kill The Chameleon next week and still get SA…

the objective “elimination by pushing” doesn’t need to be respected literally. If you knock out the target and throw him over a railing, it counts toward the objective. Easier way to complete this objective as you don’t need to get the target right ahead a railing.

The Black Bruiser suit has blood splotches in the same spots as the Gauze suit, indicating that 47 was indeed wearing it when shit hit the fan and got patched up around those wounds, like we see in the brief scene from Diana’s introduction to the safehouse. The only continuity break is that the Black Bruiser suit is essentially the default signature suit but with a black tie. So, I wonder if we’ll ever be able to unlock whatever the BB suit looks like without the damage and can play with all 3 suits in order, keeping a clear continuity.

Whenever I pass through this area, I feel Cornelia Stuyvesant is an enforcer and my disguise will be blown but later I find it is a trick on my eyes.
Not sure about you, but it seems the round hanging lights pretends as the white dot above her head - optical illusion maybe.

So it’s not just me. Everytime I go to this area I pause for a couple of seconds “because there’s an enforcer here” and of course there are none :x
