agreed - i want something even if you have the UI disabled too since NPC reactions can be insufficient and kind of hair-trigger

They need to hire that guy. The Kotti Paradigm is still the best escalation the game has had.
Managed to Silent Assassin, Suit Only Hokkaido last night. Was fairly simple once I knew my way around. The hardest part was disposing of the many bodies around one of the targets.
Edit: oh, and I should mentioned it was all done without the door scrambler. This was before level 20 mastery and for some reason I thought it would be a good idea to bring a gun instead as my smuggled item. But I never used it.

Hey Foffy, I beat it last night. I was having issues getting spotted getting the Directors costume or getting into his office but I pulled it off. The final encounter with the last target was something else.

Question on episode 6
Now nothing has happened?
why isn't the doctor killing soders? I loaded up the kill list, and he had a conversation to himself before saying he had to be professional
Now nothing has happened?
Did you lead him to the pill stash as the pilot?

No, what am I to do there?
Just disguise yourself as the pilot and lead him to the stash, and that should be it.

Cool, thx
Cool beans.
I was able to the whole mission suit only.
Take the shortcut from the spa to the ground floor, go inside past the guard and the morgue doctor to get the wrench, head back out and use the item that unlocks the RFID door on the outside, go in, upstairs, and just time getting to the laptop when the patrolling guard is near his friend.
The second objective is really the only hard part of the mission. Do that and the first objective should be easy, as the way to line that up can quickly be done from finishing the second objective.
Decided to do my SASO run before getting 20 mastery since I throught up a smooth strategy.
Started in the spa, smuggled disposable scrambler into the staff wardrobe. Ran outside down the cliff, climbed the pipe and increased the temperature of the sauna.
While waiting for Yuki to get to the sauna, I returned through the door and ran down the hallway to get downstairs to the morgue. From there, went to the crew quarters and grabbed the disposable scrambler. Used one scrambler to get the nanochip medicine. Used the medicine to get to the heart and destroy it, 1 down!
Returned to the sauna maintenance room just in time for Yuki, barred the door, 2 down! Ran outside down the snowy cliff and exited via the snowmobile. Super smooth, no cameras to worry about and no need for high mastery to bring equipment.

I just finished my first run through Bangkok and I liked it very much, but it's irritating that I never found a keycard for the different rooms. That'll probably come into play in replays.
I managed to kill the lawyer by an explosion through Tuk tuk and the rock star by him panicking over that recording and shooting him after.
I liked it more than Paris.

Use a breaching charge.
Holy shit I can't believe I got away with that Elusive Target lol
Messy as hell. Ended up knocking out the wife with a hammer, got found, shot her while I was under fire and escaped via the drain pipe. Came back around, knocked out acouple guards and got their disguise. Bodies were found but not compromised. Main target came around to his safe room, threw a screwdriver at his head through the doorway and ran away.

The cutscenes in this game are fucking great. Great-looking, well-acted, and well-animated. Diana's face in the last scene is really well done, especially her little expressions. As far as the story itself, though, I would have liked if they left us with more of a stinger or something with
. I really thought the trailer scene of 47 running in the snow would appear at some point in this episode.
That being said, season two will be really cool if it features
47 and the Shadow Client
That being said, season two will be really cool if it features
more cat and mouse stuff with the shadow client. The finale of next season can be the two of you hunting each other throughout some sprawling cityscape.

I'd love to have a mission where I'm being the one hunted, and having to outsmart the other assassin.
Exactly. Have your target constantly changing disguises, as well. Turn it into a game of Where's Waldo.
SASO is incredibly easy in Hokkaido:
Start at the mountain. Bring any silenced handgun. Go down the mountain, and follow the trail until you can climb the pipe inside the hospital. Go down to the basement. Shoot the heart through the glass.
Go back, go enter the spa through the same corridor you entered before. Turn the heat up. Wait for the Yakuza girl. Close her in.
Leave and win

I turned off all opportunities, and I did feel like I was stuck in a maze for quite a while. I saw only one way to infiltrate, and found no opportunities until I went and used it.
At the same time, I can't imagine doing this level in any way other than getting lost. As with Sapienza (and once you got into the restricted areas), there was always something to find around the next corner that pointed the way forward.
Being stuck as a patient in a luxury spa with a breathtaking view is the challenge you have to overcome to get to that point... which is not the worst thing in the world.
Okay, yeah, I couldn't comment on that because I had only checked out the mission using hotel disguises. And even then I edged forward past the bodyguards very slowly and carefully.

Level 20 completed on Hokkaido
It only took two days.
Fuck, this game is fun.
I beat the Elusive too, btw guys, I got the 13 targets completed suit with gloves...so I guess you just have to get lucky.
Guess I'll enjoy the live content from here on out.
Still need to get Silent Assassin on Bangkok, Colorado, and Hokkaido though.

There is something in the color grading for the Hokkaid level that gets me completely hooked.
It's possibly the most aesthetically pleasing mission. And the architecture of the hospital.
Pure sex.
Too bad we will never get Elusive targets in here. Can't wait for some escalations.

Why not? I had assumed that since they've only done like 2 ETs on Marrakesh, 1 on Bangkok, and none on Colorado they were going to keep rolling them out for the forseeable future. Is this the end of Elusive Targets?

We're not finished with elusive targets. Some are scheduled for after the disc release next year.
There is an update coming very soon this month that will add even more unlocks for elusive targets.
Svalbard Global Seed Vault (Which in-game can be cover for some Providence stuff)
It even looks like a Hitman location

I completely lucked out on Hokkaido. First time I booted it up I noticed the prompt to vault the railing in your starting room and just stumbled on
and I had the doctor uniform and access to 90% of the level in like 4 minutes
dressing up as the guy in the room next door and then luring in and knocking out a doctor

So was that Blake Dexter's brother or something? I feel like Absolution is mostly forgotten in Hitman lore.
Yeah, Hokkaido is a really cool map. Dense and intriguing with a great look and entertaining opportunities. Some funny stuff buried in there as usual, ambient dialogue is still the best.
Hell of a game now that it's complete, did not expect to get way into Hitman in 2016. Been playing for months and can see myself coming back for months still.
My episode ranking is probably Sapienza > Hokkaido > Paris > Colorado > Marrakesh > Bangkok
But even Bangkok is fun, just a little redundant. Could see Hokkaido overtaking Sapienza if it holds up well over time.

Did the ET with the
explosive cell phone. Started in my hotel suite. Walked out of my suite. Went down one flight of stairs. Dropped the phone quietly in the lounge. The walked in moments later. Called the phone. The lady picked it up. Boom killed both in one. Strolled out calmly.

Got Silent Assassin for The Ex-Dictator in 4 minutes.
Fire extinguisher under the restaurant table (shot from the balcony where no one could see, making sure the waiter taking orders has moved away), then escape by tuk-tuk.
I managed to
catch them both sitting in the restaurant. I threw in the explosive phone and called it. A bodyguard picked it up and answered it right next to them.
Same here, more or less. I managed to
get the dude alone in the room adjacent to the restaurant, while talking on the phone. Broke his neck and hid his body between the couch and the table. Then waited until the lady went away, placed the phone on her table. Called her, she answered, boom. Sadly I killed one of their bodyguards, but, oh well.
