Why can't we drown knocked out targets?

I mean, whats stopping 47 from just lifting their limp body and shoving his head in the toilet?

Because that's somehow not a feature in the game even though it should.
Just like how you're unable to kill targets with melee weapons because they're knocked down on the ground.
At least for the latter, you can throw the weapon at the unconscious target's head.

Really weird seeing you can knock targets out and still kill them with other environmental hazards by dragging their bodies around.

Not sure, but it seems to me devs outsource animations, so any new animation is high cost contract. They have drown animation for standing npcs, but not for knocked out.

Am I the only one who thinks it isn't a huge deal? Sure, it would be nice if they included it but I definitely don't miss it. I hardly ever drown targets as it is, let alone knock them out and then drown them.

WHy cant you kill them by jabbing a ball point pen in there eye. Why can you kill them by stuffing a pillow in there face. Because the developers cannot add every concivable option to the game. Its impossible.

It's funny right?
You can drown unconscious NPCs by dragging their bodies to flooded areas in Sapienza, Hokkaido and Mumbai but you can't drag their heads into toilet bowls.

As I said, I don't miss it. But of all the terrible sugestions and complaints the game gets, I think this one is reasonable at least.

It's not like this is some obscure elimination. Seems pretty common sense to me. If I could, Id also ask for the human shield system to be brought back, make it easier and faster to grab someone and move them elsewhere.

It should be pretty similiar to how dragging a body next to a ledge or fence will give you a prompt to eliminate or hide the body.

Which makes it seem pretty weird that it isn't in the game. Considering the fact that the only actual difference between Hitman 2016 and Hitman 2 is the camera angle, on top of that they also managed to include a simple briefcase animation as well.

It's not even an animation you would have to do by recording people in green bodysuits, you can just link the drag animation to the toilet drowning animation. Just like how the fibrewire choke is linked to the drag animation. It should be a simple, straightforward procedure which requires barely finetuning. Who even are these devs? Cus they're kinda bad at their jobs.

I fully agree. Being able to do whatever you want with a body is not what this game is about. This isn't Manhunt or Soldier of Fortune.

You shouldn't be using printf() in C++, TBH :D

Fun fact: You can drown people by dragging their unconscious body through the tunnel waters in Mumbai. Cuz their heads will be submerged in it if you drag them by their limbs. I thought that was funny and interesting.
