>metagame exploits means the game is easy
also most tactics you describe create witnesses. Only sometimes does it bug out and give you SA that way, You can't blackjack every NPC, the game gives you TWO doses of sedative. You can knock them out with a gun but if it's an armed NPC looking at you, it's real tricky.

I can just as easily dismantle Thief by saying every single NPC in the game can be blackjacked by just running circles around them and hitting them from behind while they try to attack you but most people don't consider that to be within the range of considered playstyles for the game. stop being a complete fucking autist

Blood Money is a god tier game. Actually I wasn't even gonna go into it but the amount of non-linearity and possibility in it puts any immersive sim to shame.

>You're feeling pressure and anxiety in the least challenging game in its franchise
Hitman 1 and 2 were like the first PC games I ever played and there was nothing great about the disguise system in those. Disguises being reliable was crucial to BM's success.

But like others have said it's true that BM is not retro, and neither is TDM. It's annoying to see TDM regularly talked about in these threads when it's not retro and also a piece of shit

on topic, check out what i just caught in Thief 2X lol
