  1. Another strategy with some randomness, but the opportunity for that first kill was just too good to pass up. With all the limitations I have (no KO/no pistol shots/fiber wire only) it would take 7-8 minutes at least before I get another chance to take her down.

    00:02 I immediately throw a coin to stop Tamara from walking away from the platform. If you alert her she will go through her two lines of dialogue again.
    00:10 Once you move far enough away from Diana the objective "Approach Diana Burnwood" will complete automatically and you will be given the objectives for the targets. Killing Tamara before the objective appears will result in a non-target kill penalty.
    00:15 When you ran into people at full speed it makes them stop a few seconds. If you continue to invade their personal space they will be locked in place.
    00:25 I have to wait for the two guards to walk behind the car, otherwise they would see me perform the kill.
    00:38 There is a hiding spot for the body on the cliff bellow but trying to hide it there creates too many complications. 1) The corpse can ragdoll in a weird way making it difficult to move it 2) you can be randomly spotted during the dumping animation by one of the civilians 3) 90% of the time the body bounces off the ground and falls to the cliff path anyway 4) it can mess up the timings and make getting to Yates in time impossible. This is one place where I have to make an exception to Bodies Hidden rule. I mean, the body is technically hidden after I dump it over the railing, since no one would ever see it there, I just didn't get the score bonus.
    00:44 I have to throw another coin here and do it very fast to stop one of the guards from investigating the noise made by the fallen body. If I am late by even half a second, the investigating guard would start ignoring all distractions.
    01:06 The guard on the right sometimes randomly turns his head to the left and can potentially see me, so I have to pay attention to where he looks at.
    02:02 I can't climb the roof too fast, because otherwise Yates will sometimes move away from the balcony before his wife.
    02:15 I throw a coin to make extra sure that Yates stops moving. Although I can try stopping him with only visual detection, it can be rather inconsistent here.
    03:12 I have to walk at normal speed here, because running would get me detected.

  5. Another excellent run! Very daring kill with Vidal there. And if it makes you feel better, hiding bodies has no impact on your mission score in this game, only on your profile xp (which affects mastery unlocks). So unlike absolution you can't abuse body-hiding bonuses.
    Btw, why do you have climbing/pushing bound to =?

  16. Game looks like shit while everybody is blind so you can crouch sneak past them. Just run circles around somebody so they can't move, nothing suspicious about that, no alerts nobody cares… what a joke.

  22. Originally, bumping into people actually made NPCs suspicious of you in Hitman 2016(they even had specific voice lines when you did this), I wonder why they changed this in the sequels.
