Accidental death leads to suspicion?

[Sasparillafizz]

So I've been replaying blood money after suffering through the cutscene heavy generic stealth game that is Absolution.

Naturally, cranked it up to maximum difficulty, and have been working my way through stealth runs.

I'm currently on "Curtains Down" and successfully switched the pistol for a real one. After 5 minutes of standing around waiting, he gets shot on stage, everything is hunky dory.

Except that for some reason every cop in the building suddenly targets me as soon as the senator starts running. I'm in civilian garb, it was an accidental death, no weapons, not near the body, why am I being treated as dangerous?

Is this just some aspect of the hardest difficulty?

That doesn't normally happen to me. Maybe you were in a restricted area?

And yes, suspicion goes up a bit after accidents. But if you don't do anything stupid, guards are unlikely to shoot you. And don't stand close to them for a long period of time, just in case.

Nope. I don't think it was restricted, was by the door in the ground floor of the chairs for the audience to sit. You can walk in suit just fine there. Maybe it was a glitch.

Yeah, it was a glitch. Tried it again and worked fine. I still went back and did my prefered Sniper Rifle from the light control room route anyway. More fun than waiting between sets of that long ass play to make the switch.

It's an opera, not a play.

I assure you, no one cares. Thank you for contributing to my question.

It is an opera why would they sing like that while doing a play

An opera IS a play.... the word play is interchangeable with 'drama', which can be done in many ways, including through song and instrumentals.
