Though we have a change in leadership, if what's here is true - MachineGames Studio Director becomes President of Arkane Studios

Hope it's just something to improve efficiency if they thought Blade is kinda stuck in a rut and not a merger of some sort that completely kills future imm-sim work on their part. That first new Wolfenstein was fine, but the next ones weren't amazing IMO, and that new Indiana Jones game was a babified cinematic adventure game same as the new 007 was.

I'm at Return to the Tower mission, have the option of going non-lethal via the broadcasting but haven't done it yet. Thought of saving before that and going up to his bunker space to stunt on him just for fun and see how he reacts to me offing his tallboy and choking out everyone else before strolling up to him - I confronted him via the screen at the lobby of the building at the very start taking off the mask for maximum intimidation, and still got the option of non-lethal - just thought I'd leave the whole area combed before picking one of the two.

Anyways, he was yelling at his captain that Corvo's the one terrorizing them all this time, a minute later tallboy is down, others are choked out and wall of light disabled - I go up the stairs to The Lord Regent and he's still pacing around, going 'I demand you show yourself' or 'I will find you soon enough'. Dude, I'm pointing a pistol in your face.

If I press attack it does a melee assassination, if I shoot at him he finally goes aggro - but he didn't react or engage in any dialogue beforehand.

Anyone else had this happen before?

In the 2nd mission of D1 you have a secondary objective to free an Overseer Martin who's chained up in a small square before you reach the big building with the main target.

Well, after you do it, make sure to NOT OPEN the gate behind him that lets you through into the next area. You can blink over it, but I noticed the lever and out of curiosity was like 'welp, wonder if I can reach through and just open the door now?'.

Sure, you can - and it turns out that's a known bug I was unaware of, completely breaking a major event in the mission later on - when you have to save Curnow at the room with the wine glasses, before following Campbell and him downstairs to his secret room, which is my preferred method of handling it.

Usually they start a long chat when you enter the wine room - but in this case 2 seconds later abruptly enter high alert and run out of the room to look for whatever disturbance they somehow force-detect even if I've been diligent to not be spotted and have hidden all bodies very well. Took me checking with google about this, turns out others have reported this long ago.

I'd saved over all previous saves past the point of opening that gate too. Fuck me I guess. It's not really THAT big of a deal, Curnow still counts as saved and I can handle Campbell in his safe room, but I missed the interaction I wanted and I thoroughly hate such cases of what turn out to be well known bugs still being unfixed however many years later.

Rant/venting over, thanks for coming to my ted talk.
