Ask HMF anything

I can’t believe this one is coming from me, of all people, but I think you’re looking at this a little too deeply. But that’s fine, a challenge is fun. I’ll have to come back to this one tomorrow, though.

I am the forum’s reigning champion of misplaced yet effective media literacy.

I mean I stopped having fun two posts ago. This is really more about me being stubborn than actual fun for me at this point.

I mean you could just stop. You have the perfect out right now, we can both just agree to disagree.

And give in? Hell to the no! Besides, this kind of thing really is fun for me.

OK but just so you know people who debate to much growing up risk turning into this when they are older.

Hey, I got nothing better to do with my life. So long as I don’t lose sight of being able to argue with logic, reasoning, and rational thinking, I look forward to the challenge.

I really should have pursued that law degree and become a lawyer.

That is also what Ben Shapiro tried to do. Here is the extent of a Harvard education in law if you give it to an ideologue.


So I advise against it at all costs.

But 47 was able to kill all these people at the end of blood money. And there he was all alone :woman_shrugging:

They still had semi-automatic pistols, the agents also weren’t close together, 47 still had cover to hide behind (or a human shield) and 47 had the element of surprise.

The point I am making is that logic is secondary in that scene, the scene needed Grey to make a tragic sacrifice so they did it in a nice, subdued way for greater effect. There are 100 different ways that scene could have happened with the same basic outline but IO chose one of them for a reason.

Did we find out what Olivia does after she helps 47 leak the ICA files in the China level? Like is there a cutscene I’m not remembering when 47 sees Diana going to Argentina and decides he’s going and like shakes her (Olivia) hand and she says she’s going to xyz???

Or did they just conveniently drop her off the face of the earth kinda like that other fill in handler Clera? Clea? Whatever her name was. If so then I want to know what happened to her. Maybe the new level will be a desperate call from her to Diana and 47 and we can get a bit of catch-up before she’s like “hey so this persons evil anc you should go remove them.”

She goes into hiding. She’s on the shit list of both Providence and ICA, and even shut down, there’s gonna be former members of both organizations out in the world who know the role she played in their demise, and 47 can’t be her bodyguard forever. 47’s statement that she won’t see him around suggests that he won’t go looking for her to recruit her into joining him and Diana on either freelancing or (hopefully) remaking ICA. Besides, with Providence and so many other criminal organizations gone, the world’s power balance is settling into something new, so Olivia probably is gonna take a break from hacktivism and try to make a life. Just my guess.

They got rid of her, just as they got rid of Grey :woman_shrugging: Maybe that’s why Diana was only on the phone at the end of the game, so she can be an E-Mail in future games, just like she was in the first place. Back to the roots!

I’m sorry for the sarcasm, this topic just makes me a bit angry :see_no_evil:

I know how you feel, @Mini. I feel the same way when I think of the ICA’s fate.

Yeah, I don’t like the idea that the ICA probably don’t exist anymore :see_no_evil:

Hell no, keep Diana as a voice on the line! Maybe tone down her need to point out every target as if 47 hadn’t memorized their dossier, but still keep her as a voiced entity rather than text on a screen.

Agreed. Jane Perry is a great Diana. She’s got that sense of class and power all at once.

Mr. Ochoa, obviously you don’t know what you’re talking about. :roll_eyes:

I think she sounds arrogant sometimes :face_with_hand_over_mouth: don’t get me wrong, she is of course a great voice actress. I just mean that her Diana sounds arrogant sometimes

I hear that too but that’s bc Diana is arrogant. Why shouldn’t she be? She is in a powerful position and all her plans tend to work out. If you go back to the training cut scene she is already very confident. Fast forward how ever many years it’s been and look at her track record, she just hasn’t taken many losses. The line between between sure of yourself and arrogance can be fine and while she’s not way over it by any means (not a blow hard) it would be difficult to always end up right and not inch closer and closer to or just step over over the line. 47s just lucky she isn’t a yell and swear all the time personality :joy:

More like she’s lucky that she’s not. If she had been, I think 47 might have shot her for real in Absolution, glad to be rid of her.
