Why can't you never push anyone down the stairs

[Deadeye]

There's thousands ways to killed your targets. But you can't never push them down the stairs..why?

Lol that is a good point!

well lets use logic... pushing someone down the stairs not only is noisy but has little chances of being fatal...the theme of the game is being a silent assassin, agent 47 doesn't use bar fight tactics

Use logic... you launch a hammer/wrench at someones head and it always knocks them out... never kills them, and also at high speed!

Its not the first thing you would go to do in the game when trying for a SA/SO but when you just want to mess around and have fun it would be good... it would also look like an accidental kill when no one is around.

except pushing someone down the stairs would make the person scream before being knocked out while hitting him with a wrench knocks him out fast without any comotion

I'd say pushing someone down the stairs as a knockout is closer to reality than hitting them with a fish

I don't care how hard you hit someone with a fish that small it's just going to explode into fish guts and not actually knock them out

When I first unlocked it I assumed maybe it was a fake rubber fish with a weight inside, then I realized you can pull these straight off of cutting boards being used by chefs in a few places in the game, it's actually supposed to be a real fish

Yea, we're so far past realism at this point we might as well be able to push people down the stairs

I mean stop and think about it, how is it any noisier or more likely for them to scream from being pushed down stairs as it is to be pushed from a balcony?

We push people from balcony all the time, being pushed down the stairs should be just as much an option, it would just be a knockout instead of fatal

I mean it already doesn't make sense that the people we push into water die instantly. You can push someone into a few inches of water and if they land face first its instant death. I guess no npc's in this game can hold their breath for longer than the 3 seconds it would take to stand back up?

If no one else is around, there wont be anyone there to hear the scream, also if you throw the hammer or wrench from far away they still have time to scream but don't. The game isn't a simulator, it has 'flaws' against reality to make the game have fun/enjoyable mechanics.

I could have sworn you can push people down stairs? Or was that in BM or Absolution?

You can punch/kick people on stairs and they may fall down, but you aren't "pushing" and there's no special animation just whatever ragdoll from their falling over, they will occasionally slide to the bottom but usually they don't roll more than a step or two

[Shibino]

In this game you either want to positively kill someone for good or knock them down without turning them into paraplegics or making a scene. Also stairs are access points and devs would either have to settle for encouraging chaos (which is not the point despite you thinking it's fun or not) or a way too easy 'accident kill'.

Duh

Couldn't you do that in Blood Money?

It's been awhile, but I seem to remember stair-pushing being a viable strategy in some maps.

Because the new engine is limited and they can't do a proper "stairs push/kill" animation :/
