You have been played! There was a shadow client behind it all along!
After Orr-Meyer and Zavorotko, Grey should have known shadowy, returning clients are doomed from the start.

Ah, I see you are both people of culture as well 
Sidenote on the Hamilton-Lowe angle - I love how A House Built on Sand directly ties into that.
Sidenote to anyone from IO who might read this: Fix the helicopter sound bug already!!!

One of my favourite SASO kills in the trilogy is taking Cross by surprise from the chair in his hotel room. Or at least it would be if it didn’t require such a convoluted route to reach that point.
A tricky route is integral to the thrill of pulling off a SASO run. But it’s a fine balance. If the route becomes too tricky, suddenly you find yourself doing all sorts of silly distractions. Picking up wrenches and chucking them around just so you can get through choke points. It destroys any sense of sophistication.
Basically I want my SASO runs to feel like this…

With the tranquilizing items that have become available in the game since H2 and H3, doing exactly that while Suit Only, on top of strangling Ken Morgan in the basement and only tossing around a few coins is what I do easily every time. You can now make it exactly like that. I can’t make videos, but if you’d like me to give a step-by-step means to do so, I can.
I liked the feature in Absolution where running was heard and made people suspicious.

I think that’s not that unpopular actually. It made running have an actual impact. As it is, there is just no reason not to run all over the place except for “style” if that’s something the player cares about.

You can play Hitman 2016 with professional mode if you want to experience it in some of WoA

When it was heard. Also, in WOA used to be useful to lore some NPCs to investigate. Now it just makes them turn around while standing in their spot.

Kill everyone runs in Blood Money are more satisfying than a regular Silent Assassin run.
Nothing gives me more pleasure than bringing a SLP. 40. S into a level, find a kitchen knife and then execute as much NPCs in the level without anyone ever noticing. The clipping sound of the SLP is so goddamn satisfying, and superior to the silverballer. Popping a round through the back of someones head or stabbing a person to death with blood smeared over the wall is fantastic 
Maybe Im a psychopath.

I think it’s applicable to any HITMAN game.
Especially I like to do kill everyone runs in Silent Assassin mode.
It’s when you haven’t been seen or any body hasn’t been discovered, etc., like a regular SA, just only killing every single NPC in the level

How much time does that take? 
especially in locations with many people, like Berlin or Morocco?
2 Likes
Never did Morocco, but Berlin can be done in about 3 hours with an alarm trick, and in about 6 or 8 hours (don’t remember exactly) with just normal playing

I’ve done it for a large amount of hitman maps across the trilogy, including crowd based maps like Paris and Marrakech.
Doing them “normally” by not caring about being seen, alarms, or whether crowd NPCs flee doesn’t take too long, usually around an hour or two.
If your doing it stealthily without NPCs seeing you or finding bodies of any kind, it usually takes around three hours. I actually recommend most people do it once at least on a map like Sapienza, Whittleton Creek, or Dartmoor.
However the maps with the “crowd NPCs” that lack any actual AI. It can take FOREVER, especially if those NPCs usually flee when an alarm goes off. The solution to killing all these NPCs is that if you only kill one every ten seconds with a non load method (unsilenced gunshot or explosion), it won’t trigger the evacuation so you can slowly get through the entire map. The worst of these by far are Paris and Miami. I think Miami took me around twelve hours in total, and Paris is a pain in the ass because of the people walking in the street and behind the gate you initially enter through.

Dubai, reverse SASO (I fiber wired all of the NPCs, and thrown into elevators to leave the place immaculate), leaving only the main target, they are still unaware, suit only).
Took me 5 hours.
If you have an audio book or equivalent, it’s a good way to have some semi-automatic play to occupy your hands / rest of your mind.

It’s quite etertaining
And you don’t have to sit all day long playing.
You always can save your progress and come back whenever you want

I don’t count the paper people (don’t ask, it’s just what I call them) as people so not only do I not try to kill them, I actually prefer when they flee the level. Not only does remove an extremely irritating element (aesthetically and functionally, I understand their purpose but their existence bothers me fundamentally) but I love the tonal shift that happens when crowded streets or bustling parties are suddenly emptied.

As a player that likes to play only with SA and hates seeing 4 stars or less, the kill everyone modded contract by Quartz Tan have been so much fun, I even thought about making a community event surrounding the KECs, so sad that on larger maps they are extremely buggy, these are lots of fun
