From a realistic tactical perspective, and anyone with military & law enforcement experience knows this, Bond would've been issued a clip-on bowtie. Or he would've thrown it away for a clip-on. Does anyone know why? Trivia answer below.

Answer: in a use of force situation, especially where close quarters, unarmed combat is a concern, bowties and ties are a huge, serious strangulation point/hazard.

Not sure if everyone feels that First Light should be strictly played from the perspective of Bond 100% of the time, but I just had an awesome idea for a small DLC expansion: in the same way capcom does it with Resident Evil (such as DLC expansions where you play as Ada Wong, etc during moments throughout the main game that we didn't see happening in the background parallel to when we were playing as Leon Kennedy, etc). I'm thinking the same thing, obviously, playing as 009.

Think of all of the awesome possibilities in regards to storyline, plot, lore, etc. I am personally intrigued by Rhys/009 and I want to know and see more about him, especially his friendship and work relationship with Greenway! Also, such a DLC would give us some insight into those previous operations that were only mentioned in name during First Light: Operation Spyglass, Operation Goldfish, Operation Knightfall...

In contrast to the kind of character we play as a young Bond in First Light, I think it would be freaking awesome to get to play as a highly experienced, seasoned, experienced badass that is 009. We would get to see and experience moments that "fill in the gaps" that are parallel to what and when we played through them as Bond during First Light (e.g. how he got framed by Webb, the events leading up to and during the chess tournament, and what happened in Aleph on his boat). And even play him during flashback moments of Operations Goldfish, Spyglass, etc. where he worked with Greenway.

Rhys Beckett is an agent I want to see and know more about. Obviously he's someone of Scottish descent. You know who I think would be the PERFECT actor to cast as his voice and mocap actor?

Dougray Scott.

It's freaking perfect. Just look at him during his role as agent Ambrose in Mission Impossible 2.

In fact... am I losing my mind here...? It actually looks to me almost 100% that IO Interactive based 009's character, background, etc. almost entirely on Dougray Scott. You'd have me totally fooled if you told me that was the case.

Thoughts?

Going to make this post short and to the point: gambling is a big part of James Bond franchise. A whole movie entry was built around this mechanic (Casino Royale). It's a part of Bond and his personality traits - he loves to gamble.

Why not add it as a mini game in the first light future DLC entries and/or future sequel(s) and installments?

Could either have poker, blackjack, roulette, etc as a fun minigame on the side to partake in to balance the pace of the game with something small and fun, and/or even make it a major part of a future DLC/sequel's plot mechanic?

I don't see the harm in adding something like this and can see only positives. In fact I am surprised that it isn't something that was already a part of First Light. There's no way someone hadn't already thought of this.

Thoughts?
