I’ve done a lot of missions where I insist on getting my suit back before I leave, and plenty where I just kill people without stealth. Dunno if I’ve really tried stealthing it without disguises though, I’ll give it a go.

Joe! is right, it completely changes how you play the game. A Dance With The Devil and You’d Better Watch Out… were hard to do without changing but I’m proud that I did it, A New Life was a fun one to do though. (Kill men in van, run round side, shoot dog, shoot man in basement, go up to ground floor, shoot man there, sneak into living room, shoot Vinnie + guard, sneak to pool, shoot girl, steal necklace, go back by same route) it’s surprisingly fun considering it’s such a straightforward way to do it.

Oh yeah, and I only used the SLP .40 S since I like it and the sound it makes better than the silverballer.

In that van, though, I love to walk in there while they’re still protesting, shut the door behind me, then grab one of them as a human shield and shoot the other. It feels very neat.

I’ve done the sniping through the window method and got away with it. It distracts a lot of the guards, so if you nab a disguise from the van, it’s not hard to get the wife on her own after that.

Here’s the first episode. He goes through the game in random order, so this isn’t the first mission of BloodMoney.

My favorite was the party one. Start on a boat, take the elevator upstairs etc. I must have killed more than 30 people in that elevator. The pile of bodies should have maxed out the weight limit really. I had a perfect record until that mission, but yoinking people up to their doom was just too much fun.

All those influential and powerful people dragged up into the darkness and tossed onto the pile.

(And a big hello to Echelon who just joined the conversation.)

I played Blood Money Jason Bourne-style, going in with a pistol and just improvising throughout the level from there, but without changing clothes.. it’s more about stealth and short bursts of action.

I don’t think i’ve ever used knives as a weapon. I’m too much in love with my customised silverballer (no scope though, if I wanted a scope I would use the sniper rifle).
The pew pew as you doubletap someone is just so very satisfying.

My favourite way to play the missions are to go in with a plan, but if anyone sees you or the plan gets altered in any way it is best to just start shooting.

You run upstairs, shoot a cop, shoot the lock off the door to the balcony, scope-snipe both the actor on stage and the VIP in his box from there, then run right back out.

Hmm, I might have just thought of a way to do it similarly without those upgrades.

Needless to say I carried on through the rest of the campaign taking an approach that Fi from Burn Notice would be proud of.

Still, always up for one more throw of the metaphorical kitchen knife.

This game will never cease to amaze me

Throwing suitcases is also useful. One of the best ways I’ve found to kill the Sheik in the casino is to put a bomb in a briefcase and toss it over the dividers. People think you strange, but they don’t see it as a hostile act.
