* ArtisticLicenseLawEnforcement: Garroting and moving bodies would leave potential DNA evidence from 47 himself at the scene of a crime, and thus touching someone is not something a professional killer would want to do, as it would leave behind a potential trail of DNA at each crime scene.

** In "Great Balls of Fire", your objective is to cross the bar in question and speak with the bartender, ''without'' upsetting the locals in-between. If you want to start a conversation, then your first task is to sic the truckers on Kane (star of ''VideoGame/KaneAndLynch''™, Buy Your Copy Today) to clear the room.

** In the White House level, in the security room next to the metal detectors, there's a newspaper with the text: "PPOT ROCKS! The [[UsefulNotes/{{Commodore64}} Commodore 64]] revival band gets major breakthru in the U.S." Indeed. One of the game's programmers, Theo Engell-Nielsen, plays synth in that band.

** Attaining a Silent Assassin rating in ''Silent Assassin'' and ''Contracts'' unlocks a variety of CoolGuns for 47 to use. However, particularly in ''Contracts'', most of these guns tend to be [[HollywoodSilencer silenced versions]], [[GunsAkimbo dual versions]], or [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs silenced dual versions]] of other weapons acquired throughout the games. Many of these are of little use to a player skilled enough to obtain them, seeing as how suppressed non-sniper rifles can't be concealed and dual pistols, submachineguns, and shotguns are incredibly noisy. Even dual silenced pistols are AwesomeButImpractical, seeing as how ''Contracts'''s leeway of a single shot during a Silent Assassin run is a moot point when you're firing off two shots at once.

** As a corollary to that, ''Blood Money'''s [[AceCustom custom guns]] outside of the [[PunchPackingPistol Silverballer]] (which is concealable) and the [[SniperRifle WA2000]] (which can be packed in a suitcase) are of limited use, especially seeing as how 47 doesn't carry them on his person into a level, instead having to retrieve them from a stash. Upgrades cost money and ammunition from other similar weapons is incompatible with them, meaning you can't resupply from dead enemies. Oh, and leaving them behind incurs a recovery penalty in the form of 47 having to pay someone to bring them back.

* CovertGroupWithMundaneFront:
** The Wang Fou (Emperor's Garden) Restaurant is Lee Hong's stronghold. The 2nd floor is off limits to the public, apart from the johns. The basement contains some torture instruments as well as a huge weapons cache. Hong's mansion lies at the far end, across a moat.
** Pablo sells curios as a cover for his drug operation. The Agency learns one of his planes crashed in the jungle; onboard the plane was a religious idol stolen from the U'Wa, and they would really like it back.
** Fritz Fuchs is masquerading as a traveling dentist, with a corner office in one of the towers of Hotel Galar.
** Ignore the loading screen for "Gunrunner's Paradise". You're not after him--''yet''. Instead, you're looking for Ivan, the criminal with the strangest bio. How many criminals do you know of who run circuses?
** In ''Contracts'', he is replaced with Rutgert Van Leuven who runs a [[CounterfeitCash counterfeiting ring]] out of his biker bar.
** You can't take weapons into "The Setup", but hey, what would any asylum be if they didn't stock up on semi-automatic machine guns and shotguns and whatnot all over the place? Well, it'd be a ''normal'' asylum, which this one isn't.
** In Kuala Lumpur, your next major task is to eliminate one Charlie Sidjan, a devious (and very talented) hacker. He has managed to steal a very important piece of code from the United States and the client wants you to find it, plus destroy all records of it. Charlie's corporation, Carniwarez Inc., is located inside one of the Petronas Towers.
** The Delgado Vineyard is owned and operated by one of Pinochet's ex-intelligence officers and his son. Here the Delgado family produce their famous "El Diablo" wine as well as smuggle cocaine through the cellar. According to the Chilean wine critics, El Diablo is pretty foul.
** The Gators run drugs up and down the Mississippi, using the tourist steamboat ''Emily'' as a cover.
** Sheikh Mohammad Bin Faisal Al-Khalifa, commonly shortened to Sheikh Mohammad, is the CEO of APEX International, a corporation located worldwide of the pharmaceutical industry. The Sheikh has been suspected to be involved in biological warfare and perhaps cloning as well.
** Vaana Ketlyn is a famous Romanian circus performer and party hostess around Nevada. She is also secretly an illegal arms dealer in league with her lover, CIA agent Anthony Martinez. She hosts the Heaven/Hell parties in "A Dance with the Devil".
** Birdie parks his mobile headquarters in a lot behind the "Lucky Ducky Dumpling".
** Hallelujah, the police are shown actually ''doing their job'' in and around the Vixen Club, investigating the death of a girl found with a Hawaii postcard on her person. The staff insists that what the dancers do "on their own time" is not their problem. (Forgive us if we don't take the mob-owned nudie bar at their word.) Looks like the net is closing tight on Dom Osmond, even if you killed him already: the cops are seen combing through the basement with flashlights, not far from where Wade practices his grisly art. Dump a cadaver over the railing and at the officers' feet to close this case.
** The Cougars barely qualify as a gang. They each work day jobs, operating out of a small city block which includes an auto mechanic, plumber's, and barber. Each time Dexter drives another store owner out of business, the Cougars move in. Colvin has an office that on the upper level of the Green Mountain, a convenience store run by his girlfriend; Gavin and Landon are always at the auto shop; Mason and Luke can be found hosting a party at the barber shop.

Renamed to Clone Angst, cutting non-examples, ZCEs, and no-context potholes.


* CloningBlues:
** Averted. 47 never angsts over being the clone of some of the worst criminals on the planet and its not until ''Blood Money'' that his being a clone becomes really relevant to the plot.
