Ok, it’s been some time, so I guess this question has the right to exist now.

I can’t really answer the second one, since I don’t think that the differences are that huge, at least from what I have seen so far. I guess it doesn’t really matter if you stick with Windows 10 or not

The main difference is Android apps support from what I heard so far.
In everything else it’s just same Windows 10

I installed it and love the interface (once I moved the windows stuff on the taskbar to the left).
However due to it’s newness theres a lot of issues regarding GPU performance, SSD limitations (which wasnt that bad since I use a 2tb hard drive and 256 gb ssd for bios, windows)
(GPU is amds 5300 I got for a good price a year and a bit ago)
So i ‘downgraded’ back to 10 since I couldnt let these limitations affect my work on Unity and unreal shenanigans.
I kept win11 on my partner’s laptop, I guess if you’re more casual It’s worth it. Overall the interface is neat.

Start button and all the taskbar shortcuts in the middle?
No, thank you

i’d say the gate in the underground base of the Crows. that area is hostile and if you’re doing a suit only run it’s not worth the risk of getting caught.
maybe you could say the same about the boat in the ruins, but at least that’s scenic.

Months ago, my computer prompted me to upgrade to Windows 11. So I did, and hated it five minutes in. Start menu was a complete joke; it felt like looking for apps on an Android phone. It felt too complicated yet too simple, if it makes sense. I rolled back to 10.
Start Menu is already perfect in Windows 10, with the apps pinned and arranged how I want them.
Why do I want random apps scattered through the menu? Also, don’t recommend me what I need to open on my own computer.
You know the worst part? The Microsoft Store still didn’t work for me with W11, while it also never works in W10.

Personally I started to look for W7 style Start after 5 seconds seeing W10 Start menu.
And I found a thing that reverts back W7 Start menu.
If someone interested, the program is called Classic Start Menu

Remember the phrase “all good things come in threes”? But how often does this apply to trilogies of games or movies?
- Most of the time, part 3 falls short
- Most of the time, part 3 is the best
- Half the time, part 3 is hit or miss

When Exiting Paris (Showstopper) via the front/main entrance you have to go around a fountain. Which side do you usually go on (assuming you left the building from the front/main entrance)?
- On the Right
- On the Left
- Either one, no preference of Left or Right

I go in by going around to the right from the entrance, where the reporter is, and I leave by going around to the right from the exit, the opposite side of the fountain. Why this way? Because we’re not animals, we live in a society.

To the right, because I MUST harass the reporter… it’s not optional.
EDIT: the question is leaving, not entering… I never noticed what side I use leaving…

Definitely half the time. Terminator 3 is trash, Return of the Jedi is awesome, Alien 3 is alright

FWIW, I sometimes like to use the main entrance for the exit… And drop an illegal item before filling that (Y) exit prompt. The same goes for the boat exit in Bangkok.

Which alternative method of assassination would have been most likely to replace 47 in the future?
- ETHER’s DNA-specific virus
- Kronstadt’s androids
- Imogen Royce’s behavioral prediction algorithm
- Hush’s mind control
0 voters
Ranking them least likely to most likely:
The DNA-specific virus is the riskiest and least efficient method presented in the series. While it may be the most assured way of eliminating a single target, there are numerous problems presented. Making the virus itself is complicated and time-consuming, you have to first obtain a DNA sample from the intended target in order to code the virus to them, and then when you release it into the populace to begin the hunt you have to hope the virus won’t mutate and start killing everybody. Plus, there’s no way to know how long it will take to reach the target unless you infect someone you know will be in their proximity.
Kronstadt’s androids seem less risky but equally unreliable. While they can be programmed by sight to eliminate a particular target, the upkeep on such a machine is problematic, without even covering how difficult it will be to make them look and seem like real humans. Also, if they’re being controlled remotely by an AI, they probably won’t be capable of the judgement, discretion and nuance that a human assassin would have for knowing when the appropriate time would be to terminate the target.
Imogen Royce (God, that’s such a cool name) has a pretty good idea with her attempts at predicting human behavior. Using this method, she could predict the exact stimuli needed to influence someone, within a narrow margin of error, to kill themselves, or influence someone to kill another, or have a number of people perform particular actions, one after another in sequence, that would result in a tragic accident, just as we can use against her in the game. This is a pretty subtle and clever means of assassination, but it still has some unknown factors that could interfere with the predicted results, and still leaves too much to chance.
Hush’s plan to directly control the minds of individuals really would have made the ICA “future proof” as he was trying to achieve, despite the lack of details of exactly how he’d pull it off. It presents some of the same logistical problems as Caruso’s virus, as you would need to get some piece of technology on or in the possession of the intended subject, or have them in range of the control signal emitters, things like that, so his work was very early phase. But, once achieved, he’d be able to take Royce’s concept to the next level; he’d be able to directly make an intended target jump off a bridge or shoot themselves in the head, or take control of a spouse and make them poison or strangle or stab the target to death in their own home, or even take control of a rival assassin already in position, make them do the deed, and the world thinks they were responsible, but the controller still gets their pay from ICA because they know that it was their controller who actually terminated the target (think the situation with the Kashmirian, but less hands-on). So I think Hush has the best idea for the future of assassinations out of all the options presented in WoA, on the grounds that his would be the most successful at actually working exactly as intended, and the one most likely to actually replace the use of clones like 47.

Wait how is Hush the best option? The game doesn’t even explain how he even does it aside from “LOL, it just works!” and the machine he is using for it was slowly killing him and it outright kills him. I have a theory as to how it works but nothing in the game says it in detail most likely because IO know explaining it would be stupid and requires a level of science to make it work that exceeds what is normal for HITMAN. In fact I always felt that while we are supposed to view both projects as broadly unfeasible that Hush’s was the least viable out of both.

Yeah, I’ll have to agree with Accidental_Kills98. Hush’s plan is the most ambitious of the bunch but was the least stable and still in the experimental phase and considering the toll it takes on his health, he most likely would’ve died long before the project beared any fruit.
The ETHER virus is a cool concept to murder without a trace, but it does seem like way more work than it’s actully worth.
Kronstadt’s andriods seems more fiting as a secrity or military force then assassination.
Royce’s plan is something 47 is capable of doing in missions, but on a much larger scale, like a Domino effect. And while there is the pontenial for a wrench to unexpectedly fall into the machine, her approach is the most pratical and cost the least of all the projects IMO.
