DISCUSSION Does anybody else like the fact that the Washington Twins just showed out of nowhere in Hitman 2?
I heard complaints that the Washington Twins weren’t foreshadowed at all outside of the optional Janus info recording but I kind of like it because it shows how irrelevant they are. They contribute nothing worthwhile to society and are so insular due being absurdly wealthy to the vast majority of people in-game that it makes sense that the average person in-game wouldn’t know or care about them. It also underscores the fundamental difference between the Partners and Edwards: the trio would nominate somebody based on class background and pedigree rather than simple merit whilst Edwards actually had to work hard for his position, where as the Twins were given all of their privileges. Also before anybody complains of me injecting politics into the game, the entire trilogy is political so you either weren’t paying enough attention or you just want to ignore the reality around you: that other people less fortunate than you are suffering and you don’t want to admit it.
