Of course the objective happens to be to kill her. Thing is you aren't even hired for this, she's not a contract target. She's just in the way of the larger plot so you kill her for convenience.
If you follow the mission story where you retrieve the USB drive for her, she actually seems to like 47 and if you listen to her entire conversation chain after that before killing her, she's ready to leave the island or at least doesn't want to be around the people she works with anymore.
It's a missed opportunity to have expanded the plot in a different direction, she invites 47 to dinner. She's the kind of person that might have been recruited to help him.
Killing her is a forced plot point that really isn't satisfying. You aren't paid to kill her and the results you are trying to achieve could have been accomplished through other means.
There were a lot more directions the plot could have gone without bothering to kill her, but instead you're locked into it for no other reason than it's convenient for her to be dead.
This is something I'm really hating about the new direction IO are taking the series. I don't want to be killing people who are just in the way or have no need to be killed. I liked it way more back in games like Blood Money where nearly everyone deserved it.
47 is just killing for his own personal reasons now, and I find that way harder to get into my self.
A lot of people have complained that the new games go too far in the direction of making it clear that the targets had it coming.
I guess IO can never win.
Someone clearly haven't been paying attention to Vetrova's background, the whole conspiracy thing as well as all the dialogues related to her around the island. I really loved her and she somehow became top female target in HItman of all times for me - she is genuinely bad, but very hot at the same time.
Okay, let's start off with background. She effectively never worked a day in her life, using wealthy men to live the life of luxury, presenting herself as an heiress to the lost fortune. She would use a man until he's useless anymore, then she'd move on. She is adept at social engineering, charming and sociopathic.
She doesn't come work to Haven out of her own free will, but rather because Tyson found dirt on her and coerced her into it. In Haven she attracts and manages clients. How does she attract them? With made up profiles at dating sites, enlisting actresses and call girls to do what's necessary for a wealthy man to get into embarrassed situation and seeking Haven's services as a result - that she is all too happy to provide.
Is she happy about the arrangement? She seemed to be, initially. She was together with Tyson and at some point it benefitted her. But she quickly grew tired of "playing hostess" as she calls it, as it is so beneath her. Tyson grows more tyrannical and paranoid because of his condition, and now she seeks a way out.
She teams up with Steven, who she's been sleeping with at the time mission events start, to get him on her side as a technical mind needed for her conspiracy. She wants A) to get the USB with dirt on Tyson to neutralize him, and B) access to Jason Portman's laptop to erase her from world databases.
In spa she communicates with someone on the phone which reveals she is headed for Paris and is planning to pin everything on Steven (who is "more of a patsy than an accomplice") and let him take blame for all her doing.
It is at this point where 47 arrives and she leaves him a note because of his faked "cat burglar" background.
Previously she hired a thief to steal her the USB from Tyson, but the thief apparently failed. So she wants 47 to fetch it for her.
When 47 brings her the USB she puts on a damsel in distress act, lies that it was actually Tyson who stole it from her to "punish her" and generally badmouthes Tyson to make him look like the worst person in the world that should "disappear from the face of the Earth".
Quite bluntly, she's verbally preparing 47 for a contract to kill Tyson and is willing to offer sex to get him on her side.
When you both get her the USB and remove Portman out of the picture, Vetrova meets with Bradley and tell him they gonna act "tonight". And also tells him of her "contingency plan" to have 47 kill Tyson, if need be.
Since she is not in any contact with Tyson and haven't been staying on the villa for a long while, and the only way they could be seen together is if you bring the servers down, then it is fair to assume that the whole 1 million worth of discount is also a fake - she wouldn't be able to persuade Tyson to anything of the like, given their relations at the time. Interestingly, if you get Steven out of the picture and only Tyson and Vetrova come to the underground facility, Tyson invites her to have dinner sometime.
So, while it is quite easy and appealing to perceive Vetrova as a damsel in distriss who was forced to do bad things and wants out of it, it's nothing like that. She only cares for herself and only does what benefits her at the given moment. And she is willing to let Tyson, Steven, 47 whatever die to get her way. And she is totally fine with her plan involving destroying Haven in the process.
Because of all that, I felt killing her was just, and this feels especially satisfying when listening to her act, actually knowing the truth.
I guess more than enough men met girls like her in their life and would understand me well. She is very relatable and beleivable, just like the "Atlantide" scam from the assignments.
Was it NECESSARY to kill her though? No, it wasn't. It was more of an "just in case" thing, something that she herself would gladly do. Good riddance.
P.S. Adressing the obvious, yes, a "one on one dinner" with her would be very appealing experience seeing how attractive she is. But it would present many problems from the design perspective. The whole setup to get to the end of her storyline takes a lot of time already, and with the plentitude of opportunities to kill her already present it would feel redundant. Also, since the shacks don't really provide that much privacy I struggle to tell where would that dinner take place. That's sparing the obvious fact 47 never reproduces on the job.. or at all, for that matter.
Also, I would totally beleive it's just a line she used to get 47 on her side and make him beleive in the supposed "reward".
I stand corrected lol.
This isn't how I remembered 47 . . .
