Deng/CSP outfit mystery solved



to:

** Actually, Deng's cape simply has the hanzi for "police" on it; in fact, the particular hanzi he's wearing (警察) are specifically NOT used for police officers from mainland China (where 公安 is preferred), but *are* used by police in the Republic of China. (Btw, the CSP are a fictitious organization (unlike, say, the PRC's Ministry of State Security); their dossier 'logo' is indeed just "police".) He's also wearing a cap with the symbol of the Taiwanese National Police Agency on it. So actually, Deng has a pretty decent disguise on - he's just dressed as a (BadassLongcoat) Taiwanese police officer!

** Having seven ranks in the Sabotage skill gives you the option to do both by giving your handler the idea of creating a diversion by messing with the security systems to distract Brayko and buy you time to get the data and save Albatross/SIE.

** On a related note, Deng has some nerve chiding Thorton for failing to blend in with the crowds in the subway system because of his armor, when Deng himself is wandering around the capital of Taiwan in a full People's Liberation Army dress uniform. To quote [[MyCousinVinny Lisa Vito]]: "Oh, yeah. You blend."

** Possibly they got wind of Mike's attack and were worried that without them in charge he would create a worse problem then them attacking would.

** Beyond the bonus AP you can use to bump skills for special scenes, the only impact the veteran background ever has on dialogue is Michael showing off his experience. It's possible that the reason a non-veteran doesn't get the option to save both is just because he's too inexperienced to think he can; he can go through this exact kind of situation up to twice before, without any third option, so if we say Moscow is canonically the last of the three ops that makes a veteran TheDeterminator deciding to not let Brayko bullshit him like Halbech and Marburg did, while a non-veteran resigns to the false dichotomy and, just like in the other ops, believes he isn't skilled enough to do both.

** Wait, what? The missiles ''don't'' kill Shaheed; he can appear later on if he's spared.

* How are Scarlet and Madison not surprised ''at all'' that Mike is a secret agent that is going to infiltrate and hotel/ancient ruins ? I mean Scarlet could have an excuse [[spoiler:(what with her being an assassin on Halbech's payroll)]] but she doesn't even feign being it. And as far as Madison know when meeting Thorton, Mike is just some guy that her boss wants killed and that she try to warn.

[[folder:Ally or Data]]

* During the assault on Brayko's mansion, Mike is forced to choose between rescuing his captured ally from Brayko or retrieving the Halbech data from the vault. But why can't you just save the ally first, ''then'' go get the data? There's no mention that the data is going to be erased or anything like that, so your ally is the only one in danger. To make matters worse, playing on Veteran mode lets you do both, but makes you secure the data first, leaving your ally to get tortured for even longer.
