I dunno. I feel completely the opposite. Blood Money is the best of the series. Codename 47 was unplayable for me past the Hong Kong mission because it went full shooter with no possibility to finish even remotely stealthy. In Blood Money the missions are nonlinear and you can choose what style you like best. You can make all your hits look like an accidents while only sedating bystanders you need for a disguise and get the Silent Assassin mark but if you get bored/frustrated by that you can go gun-ho on everyone, and it is not necessarily easier/harder then.

I find it weird that you are complaining about the story after skipping to whole parts of the series. Basically 47 wants to seclude himself from the world and seeks refuge in religion but his dark past keeps haunting him and dragging him back to killing for the agency.

Don't judge the game by the tutorial mission. The whole game is good old and very well polished Hitman. The Demo/Tutorial mission is just there as bait to get non-fans to buy the game thinking it's supposed to be another shooter.(which it can be, but it is so much more aswell)

Rome, go for it.

I don't know why I decided to stick with the BoS. Maybe because Veronica was the NPC that complimented my melee - only playstyle well. Or maybe because having the BoS back to the coolness they were in Fallout 1 compared to the dogooders they were in Fallout 3 made me root for them.


Thats what I mean when I say the story in New Vegas is great. Every major faction you can support has a few valid points and could have well been protagonists. Well, maybe except Legion, though Caesar does give a good speach about the weakness of NCR and democracy, he is crazy and an overall bad thing for the wasteland. House and NCR are both shades of grey.

I'm really enjoying the storyline so far. I think I'm near the endgame and I'm having a hard time deciding which major faction I want to support. I've already joined the and to help them out I think I go on and support Mr. House, at least he is isn't as likely to take over the whole wasteland killing my faction in the process.

Good job inteuniso. No one has ever taken a OPM before.

Ming are big indeed. Apparently thanks to the westernization they got real early. Once they turn into Manchu someone can have a turn as that huge blob. 30 year WC anyone ?

Just bought S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Call of Pripyat for 5 Euro. Given that I am currently playing New Vegas I can clearly state that I am a bitch for the post-apocalyptic theme

Sorry for the wait:  here is the latest save for IN: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=ZSF8LRM3

I've shaped up Iraq a little but it is by no means a hegemony like i wanted it to be.

Go ahead inteuniso its your turn. There are bound to be some interesting picks in the world map right now but I haven't taken a closer look. Muscovy is Holy Roman Emperor so I imagine utter steamrolling as them or Russia would be possible.

Restricted nations so far for IN are Ming, Poland, Brunei, Portugal and Iraq.
