Absolution defenders. I see that line way to much and there is a certain point where it feels like saying it misses why people hate that scene. It goes against the core of 47’s character from before the game and after that one instance the personal nature of the mission never gets to 47 again even on a smaller level. It was like the plot needed 47 to fuck up so that the rest of the plot could happen, Ebert called it an idiot plot.
The bottom line is even if 47 didn’t know Sanchez was a super soldier (which is super stupid) he was still a tall, heavy and muscly person. 47 should have still on some level though that he was unnatural and that it would be tough to garotte him or that he should sneak around him or distract him or shoot him even if he was desperate. The mission being personal shouldn’t even have been a factor, it couldn’t possibly have impacted his decision making that badly.
Again this is like discussing Grey’s death, I am not talking about events I don’t care about that. I am talking about why the scene exists and how it impacts the story. On that level I have to say that the scene is contradictory to 47’s character in the other games, it has no real impact on 47’s character since he never makes a mistake like that again and the only reason that scene exists is so Dexter can meet 47 which can be done in so many other ways.
It’s an interesting question, because it’s just not a question of comfort. But rather a larger look into what makes 47 tick. 47 is practical, I think he would sleep on whatever is convenient and even the floor. 47 isn’t statuary and I don’t see him being tied down by a place. The closest we come to a place 47 choose to stay for a long period of time was a monastery. Here he lived a very simple life as a groundskeeper. If 47 would settle down, I believe it would be in something simple.
And then if you really want to go down the rabbit hole… does he have a full bed just in case people come over so he doesn’t look like a weirdo and raise suspicion slash bring attention to himself? Or does that not matter bc he would never have anyone over ever*?
what if a thunderstorm causes a tree to fall into his house? Surely then he has contractors (the kind with tool belts) come and fix it.
Let’s review what we know about 47’s habits and background:
We know from the Bad Ending that his beds in the asylum were likely utilitarian singles meant for him to sleep on in between missions/training and I don’t see him changing from that style in C47. We don’t get much from the shed in SA but I also don’t imagine a Catholic church having much in the way of beds that would accommodate more than one person for obvious reasons.
But as time goes on, he starts making more and more money. He’s still flying coach at the end of Contracts so it’s not a huge amount but he’s several years out from his upbringing at this point so it’s reasonable to believe that he’d be able and perhaps willing to spend a bit on creature comforts.
Absolution sets him back again and we only see him on a dingy motel room bed so it’s hard to say for sure what his normal preferences are when he doesn’t actively want to kill himself. And who knows what kind of impression seeing how Diana lives made on him. But given the upgrades we see him with in the WOA trilogy, I think he starts experimenting with the finer things in life as part of the process of forgiving himself for shooting her.
What are these upgrades? Chronologically, we see him with his own backlit murder table in the Legacy cutscene, which isn’t cheap. We also see him experimenting with different clothes, tailored to fit him exactly, to the point where various NPC’s like Jackie Carrington openly hit on him. We also see him in his own private jet for the first time in Patient Zero. Also telling is that we no longer get clues about how much he gets paid per hit. I’ve said this before but I think that’s a sign that if we have to ask, we can’t afford him. He’s rich, like really rich. And whether you think he learned how to be a Michelin star-level chef purely to be able to blend in on missions, or whether you think he gets pleasure purely from the fine food he can make for himself, rare ingredients like fugu don’t come cheap.
But we also see him laying down in the opening to Hokkaido. He’s almost comically stiff and keeps to one side of the very large bed in his suite. As much as I want to say that he’s used to sleeping beside Diana (breathy sigh) I think he’s still used to sleeping in a twin, max.
So, in conclusion: if there’s a large bed in the Fuck Mansion, it raises legitimate questions about who put it there and why
You should play 3D. It’s so old and cheesy but fun. 3 guns only and the levels are designed so that the rooms all look the same (especially in the later episodes). It’s pre Doom and mostly recognised as the birth place of first person shooters.
I agree! I guess 47 can sleep anywhere, even on the ground without any sheets, if necessary.
I guess the way he sleeps, lying there on his back, is something like being “alarmed”, so he can get out of bed very fast if something happens. I believe he got used to it over the years, as part of his training. We have seen him in Codename 47 sleeping like this already. Okay, he was tied to the bed there, but maybe that had an impact on him so he keeps sleeping like this.
And when it comes to his safe houses, like the one we will see in the Freelancer mode, I also believe he likes to have a little more comfort. A twin bed maybe because it looks better than a single bed, also some nice sheets. I guess when it comes to his private life he got into all these nice and expensive fabrics he also uses for his clothes. It gives him joy, so maybe he also likes to sleep in a bed with some comfy sheets and which looks pretty- even when he’s just lying on his back on the edge of one side.
and before you ask, no, I was not drunk, I was just very tired
