Desperados III (Video Game) / int_129749df	comment	All Men Are Perverts: Except for the Long Coats, all the men can be distracted by Kate. Although the extent varies: while Ponchos generally can be seduced by Kate's wiles, they are far too professional to move from their posts. It doesn't work if Kate tries to lure away a man who is talking with a woman and/or a Poncho; they will hold their friend back. She also cannot tempt a man away if he is part of a patrol.

However, during the Las Piedras mission, interrupting Isabelle as sheâ€™s healing Cooperâ€™s leg by knocking her out will result in a â€œMission Failedâ€� screen where Isabelle directly chastises the player. You even get an achievement for it.

Though they only have one small, primary view cone, they are able to detect characters through bushes, walls, and other forms of cover even when crouching and are quick to attack if they spot you. While being detected by one doesn't raise the alarm by itself, their barks will draw human enemies to the area to investigate, making it harder to remain hidden. Also, they attack viciously fast and can see through Kate's disguises.

McCoy uses a Colt Buntline Special. While the Buntline was first manufactured in 1873, the â€œSpecialâ€� suffix refers to the second generation of Buntlines that was manufactured in the 1950s following the unprecedented success of The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp television series. Characters tend to pepper their speech with modern and semi-modern slang e.g. McCoy can speak about giving someone a â€˜shotâ€™ (an injection) if you select him. The earliest usage of this word dates back to 1889.

On top of that, Hector slept with the sheriff's wife, and that alone motivates the gang to get out of dodge.

Hector can throw bodies he's carrying, with no requirement that he (or anyone else for that matter) be able to reach that location by any other means. The boat has an unreachable roof, but throwing McCoy on there doesn't count as bringing him to the boat, and the game only tells you this when you've completed all the other objectives in the level. Hope you didn't quicksave in the meantime.

Cooper then heads in, loses to Frank, and gets himself and his friends captured. Justified in that heâ€™s been obsessed with Frank for the better part of a decade and has been cheated of revenge several times already.

While they will scour the area in a panic, they won't call reinforcements or fail any â€œremain undetectedâ€� objectives. Bizarrely, this even applies to accidental deaths copied using Isabelle's Connect, meaning that a guard who suddenly gets crushed to death by nothing in the middle of an open field will still be treated as an accident by anyone who sees it happen.

Tropes Are Tools and this is to the game's favor as exploiting this is a gameplay cornerstone. That said, the guards actually avert the worst aspects of this trope — they'll notice if their buddies have disappeared and spend some time looking for them, for instance. New players to the game or genre may also be surprised at just how far the guards can see and what they will react to.

Kate will recite a little verse about her past suitors and how awful all of them were before directly comparing you to one. Hector will first laugh at being tickled, then start flirting with you (and assuming youâ€™re Bianca) before reassuring you that, no, he wouldnâ€™t dare look at other women.

Desperados III (Video Game) / int_4f84cdef	comment	Magnus DeVitt, the brother of Vincent DeVitt and antagonist of the second DLC mission, definitively is. It's one thing to gloat in a message that you hid your brother's money while revealing your identity. It's another to keep acting like a Smug Snake and to belittle the armed people who cornered you alone on the roof of your mansion in order to ask you about said money, after having probably neutralized and potentially killed a good chunk of your guards. Killing him actually even gives a badge.

You can still find ways to do it, and there's even a badge for killing enough of them. It's worth noting that this time you're not up against the DeVitt Company or a criminal gang, but against Baton Rouge's citizens who think you ransacked their town and robbed the bank. And while shooting on sight is Disproportionate Retribution, they have legitimate grievances against the gang. Also, they seem to be acting more on misinformed stupidity than true malice.

The Casa DeVitt's mission objectively forbids you to kill Vincent DeVitt, as the Marshall wants him alive to be judged or to kill any of the guests. The lives of the many guards of the estate are free game, however. While most of them are implied to be criminals part of Frank's gang and other gangs of outlaws, Vincent DeVitt is arguably a much more evil human being than them. It's even possible that some of them are mere guards doing their jobs, with no ties to the Company.

Even when badges theoretically aren't exclusive, it's often way too impractical if not impossible to actually earn them all on a single gameplay; for example, the speedrun badge is all but unobtainable unless the player forgoes the badges earned by not using a certain skill (as they limit considerably the strategic possibilities) or by doing a non-essential action that requires a detour from the main quest.

Some of them will invite another to play cards or to have a drink after their shift as part of their stock lines during a conversation. There are even instances of more elaborate dialogues humanizing them. For instance, in the Casa DeVitt Mission, it's painfully obvious that one of the Long Coats, named Bill by the other characters, has a crush on one of the gunwomen of the estate and tries to ask her out every time he passes near her during his round, but Cannot Spit It Out.

Cooper effectively plays almost exactly like Hayato with the major change being given a second gun. Doc is given melee options and his bag as a distraction and as a medical kit to rectify the Crippling Overspecialization that Takuma and snipers in the Stealth RTT genre, in general, suffer from. Hector, as the equivalent to Mugen, is given the Bear Trap and whistle ability from Yuki as well as a whiskey flask that heals only him. His shotgun is the nearest equivalent to Sword Wind, but targets in a cone as opposed to a circle and is limited by Hector's ammo supply. Kate plays almost exactly like Aiko only with pickpocketing skills and the inability to kill or bind mooks with her melee. Isabelle's skillset is the furthest departure with her blood magic making up the bulk of her abilities along with an animal to distract enemies. Guns in general are much more useful due to greater diversity in firearm types and availability of ammo. Shadow Mode's equivalent, Showdown Mode stops time entirely, as opposed to slowing it down, unless you're playing on the hardest difficulty.

The game also automatically schedules a Showdown Mode action from him: a shot from his Colt aimed at Frank. What it does not attempt to communicate is that Cooper, despite being outside your control, will still respond to your Showdown Mode inputs: the â€œExecute Allâ€� command will also execute Cooperâ€™s shot. So, if you didnâ€™t schedule all the actions needed to eliminate all of Frankâ€™s goons and then hit â€œExecute Allâ€�, Cooper will fire, die, and youâ€™ll get a game over alongside a quip from Frank.

He also has an array of medical equipment, such as a syringe with poison, chloroform, and swamp gas bombs that give him greater versatility than other snipers in the real-time stealth tactical genre. Hector, as The Big Guy, prefers larger, noisier weapons, such as his axe, sawed-off shotgun, and Bianca. Kate prefers to use stealth and her feminine wiles, and her weapon is a Derringer, which is quieter than other firearms. Isabelle focuses on manipulation and trickery; her blow gun can't kill anyone directly, but it's what she uses to deliver the puppet and link abilities, making this a case of Abnormal Ammo. For melee kills, she uses a small sickle, an unusual weapon that emphasizes her supernatural nature.

Desperados III (Video Game) / int_7ed25068	comment	Videogame Caring Potential: The game allows for non-lethal attack options, but there's actually no penalty for killing enemies. And since the lethal actions are slightly more efficient and convenient as they don't need the characters to spend time tying up the enemies, players opting to defeat non-lethally as many enemies as possible only do it because they want to be merciful. Some of the mooks have dialogues that slightly humanize them or genuinely funny lines, making some people willing to incapacitate them non-lethally. It's even possible to finish some maps without killing a single soul, and there's actually a reward for doing it in the New Orleans, Las Piedras, and the final Devil's Canyon missions.note Though in that last case, the player has to kill Frank and you can kill his posse without losing the achievement. While it's possible to incapacitate most of them non-lethally by using McCoy's gas and Isabelle's link ability, but it's hard to incapacitate all of them in one go without using Hector's shotgun.

The mission itself is peppered with humorous touches, mostly coming from the comments made by the not-so-bright citizens out for your heads, with most of them believing that the swamp witches or Satan himself had come to their town. You're even actively encouraged not to kill anyone since the game leaves you with no lethal weapon.

Desperados III (Video Game) / int_8125d8f6	comment	Easy Level Trick: The New Orleans mission where the gang looks for Marshall Wayne involves going over three different locations with a fine-tooth comb for evidence. Any of the three informants can hold the incriminating letter and the game randomly determines it every time you play it. Every informant is surrounded by hordes of bodyguards and civilians who will call for the guards if they witness you using any of your skills, so ordinarily, youâ€™re required to slowly and methodically chip away at the guards before you can approach the informant. Or you can simply get McCoy into position, get him to snipe the informant, then waltz in with the disguised Kate, and pluck the letter off the guyâ€™s still-warm body. And the fact a chunk of the second part of this mission where the gang makes their way to DeVittâ€™s storage yard can be skipped by taking a shortcut near CafÃ© Chez Manu is sure make oneâ€™s life much easier. Casa DeVitt, the penultimate mission, has our heroes infiltrate DeVitt's well-guarded villa during a gala full of people to try and kidnap him. The initial plan was for the group to cause a distraction, either using fireworks or a fancy contraption in the backyard to distract people away from the main plaza, leaving DeVitt alone with a few guards. This requires elaborate cooperation between the four characters to systematically eliminate DeVitt's men stealthily until they can proceed with the plan. Or you can just eliminate a few guards on the balcony and get Isabelle up there then have her mind control DeVitt once he wanders into range, getting him out of the guards' views, knocking him out, and carrying him to the extraction wagon, finishing the mission. Kate and Cooper don't even have to do anything at all besides reuniting with the others. In fact, there are even two badges that can be earned by not using any of Kate and Cooper's skills and having Isabelle Mind Control DeVitt.

In the final DLC mission, the Long Coat that stands guard over McCoy can be heard contemplating the sheer length of the Buntlineâ€™s barrel. McCoy, understandably, doesnâ€™t dignify the Long Coat with an answer.

There's no explicit encouragement or acknowledgment for playing this way more generally, however, and characters will still kill during cutscenes.

Especially when you see Cooper's backstory and learn that like the other Frank, this one forced the protagonist into a position where they were responsible for the death of a relative. One of Kate's select lines refers to a certain other western-themed series: Isabelle is a Witch Doctor using voodoo, so obviously she has her own references: Kate will occasionally say "Guten tag" when distracting an enemy. Cooper sometimes quips "The Quick and the Dead" when readying his revolvers. Cooperâ€™s backstory of, as a child, being coerced by the villain into shooting something/someone to save their parent, is also taken from that movie. The final showdown with Frank takes place on a cobbled circle in the middle of a cemetery. The briefing for the Baron's Challenge "For A Few Bullets More" also paraphrases Blondie's famous line about there being two kinds of people in the world. Just like in all other Desperados games, McCoy is still a Lee Van Cleef expy, taking vastly after both Colonel Douglas Mortimer and Angel Eyes.

Isabelle can put characters that are already under the playerâ€™s control under her Mind Control to entertaining results as all of the characters — Doc and Hector in particular — will have distinct reactions to it. Isabelle's Connect has a ton of secret synergies that a clever player can utilize. For instance, the game states that Hector's personal healing item (a flask of whiskey called "the Good Stuff") is too strong for anyone else to use. If you connect Hector to a guard and have him take a swig, the connected guard instantly passes out. Another example includes using Connect on one live mook and one tied-up one, then chucking the latter into a body of water which will drown the other mook even if they're on land. This even plays a special drowning animation. In the O'Hara Ranch mission, Hector and Doc bet on who will get the most kills. They'll keep track of their progress by counting each one out loud and they'll keep counting up to a hundred which basically involves assigning the killing duty, together with triggering as many alarms as possible to spawn additional guards, to just one of them. When either gets to a hundred, they'll stop and, depending on who won, will have a unique exchange.

Desperados III (Video Game) / int_d39e327f	comment	What the Hell, Hero?: The rest of the party reacts this way to Cooper insisting on confronting Frank alone, shooting Hector, and getting everyone captured in the New Orleans Docks mission. Hector and Isabelle forgive him fairly quickly, but Doc quits on the spot (albeit not permanently), and Kate very nearly does the same — Hector convinces her to give Cooper another chance.

Desperados III (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3	type	Anti-Frustration Features
Desperados III (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3	comment	Anti-Frustration Features: The game somewhat bends its own rules to guarantee the most hassle-free experience. None of your characters create sound while moving (except for when they have to move a body or wade through water), even while running, which lets them avoid detection by slithering past the guards inches away from them. What is more, quite literally bumping into them in itself will not raise the alarm; as long as your character vacates their vision cone as the guard turns around, theyâ€™ll simply go â€œhuh?â€� and go about their duties. All of your characters have a â€˜windingâ€™ animation to their skills e.g. unholstering their firearm. These are purely cosmetic and as long as the skill of your choosing is off cooldown, you can use it instantaneously. Your characters, if knocked unconscious for whichever reason, will come to far faster than any guard. That said, despite the unconscious state having a timer, picking anyone up — friend or foe — will â€˜extendâ€™ the timer indefinitely. In plain English, they wonâ€™t regain consciousness if you hold onto them. Party banter will continue to play even if you pause the game via Showdown Mode. This is handy if you want to listen to what your characters have to say when the alarm is about to be sounded (which cuts the banter off). Animals that can be aggravated by Cooperâ€™s coin will also be provoked by Kateâ€™s perfume. Guard Dogs will be lured by McCoyâ€™s bag just like any other human guard. Theyâ€™ll also, somehow, manage to open it and will be similarly blinded.

Desperados III (Video Game) / int_dcb9c541	comment	Ship Tease: Between Cooper and Kate who are shown to take a liking to each other during their adventures. She Big Damn Kisses him just before the beginning of his climactic duel with Frank. But seeing as these two are an Official Couple in all other Desperados games, this might come across as Foregone Conclusion. Between McCoy and Isabelle, though it's more of a Belligerent Sexual Tension flavor. The two of them constantly bicker (both on-screen and off-screen), but McCoy keeps coming up with reasons to stick by her which she subtly teases him for, and when he temporarily leaves the team, Isabelle explicitly comments that she misses himâ€¦ before calling him an idiot. Kate is very much aware of whatâ€™s happening between these two, and the â€œbelligerentâ€� part gets seemingly downplayed in the DLC — mostly due to Doc being Out of Focus for its duration.

The next two missions are done without him. However, he chooses to come back and arrives to save them from DeVitt after the latter manages to wrestle Hector's sawed-off from him and was about to kill them all. Itâ€™s later confirmed that Doc knew where to look for the gang as heâ€™d consulted Marshal Wayne beforehand.

Desperados III (Video Game) / int_e3c36782	type	Call-Forward
Desperados III (Video Game) / int_e3c36782	comment	Call-Forward: In the first mission, McCoy pulls off a I Surrender, Suckers stunt that was commonplace in WDoA and can bullrush the survivor should Cooper eliminate only one of the two guards holding him at gunpoint. At one point, McCoy mentions discovering his knock-out gas in a swamp near a small town called Jennings. Come WDoA, and the people of Jennings try to hang him. In Baton Rouge, Kate notes that a poker tournament will be happening there soon and ponders the possibility of participating. When John laughs her off, Kate fires back, saying that sheâ€™d already beaten him once. Kate does indeed compete in a tournament some six years later. Kate is shown to be pretty new to poker, but in the first DLC mission, she says that she's been improving her skills greatly. By the time of the original game, she's become a professional gambler and cardsharp. During the first DLC mission, Kate explains that Cooper is late because he was working on a bank job with Samuel Williams. When Doc notes that he's never heard of this Sam, Kate responds that John will — eventually — introduce Sam to him. The two first meet in WDoA. The entire third DLC mission takes place in Pablo Sanchezâ€™s fortress of Eagleâ€™s Nest — only without Sanchez himself, naturally. Hector even references Diego, Pabloâ€™s father, whoâ€™s been sizing up the fort for his son.

You can freely move in the streets of Flagstone, New Orleans, and the public-allowed parts of the DeVitt Mansion (though only with Cooper and Kate who are posing as guests) without getting shot at, as long you are not caught doing anything suspicious. This also allows Kate to use her usually disguise-dependent abilities without said disguise.

Desperados III (Video Game) / int_eb28ab57	comment	Bound and Gagged: One of the core game mechanics for those aiming for non-lethal runs. All of the playable characters can knock out their enemies, but the unconscious mooks will wake up after a while. However, the characters (sans Kate) have the ability to tie up unconscious NPCs to prevent them from moving after they were knocked out (while presumably gagging them as well, even though the game doesn't say it, given the sound clips that play during the animation). There's actually even a gameplay reward for doing so: tied-up enemies can be used to lure other mooks, as they will come to free the prisoner if they see them before raising the alarm, which can be used to set up an ambush. It even works on Long Coats and Ponchos who are otherwise immune to most of the other tactics to make them leave their post.

Desperados III (Video Game) / int_ecb70eb4	type	Video Game Cruelty Potential
Desperados III (Video Game) / int_ecb70eb4	comment	Videogame Cruelty Potential: On the other hand, the game also allows you to be creatively mean with the unlucky mooks and NPCs you come across. You can knock out an already unconscious goon as many times as you want as long as they're not tied up. You can kill a goon while they're already tied up and defenseless. There's even a reason you might want to do so since you can use them to kill another NPC remotely using Isabelle's Connect. The mission in Baton Rouge only gives you non-lethal weapons which means that killing requires more effort than non-lethally taking them out. You can still find ways to do it, and there's even a badge for killing enough of them. It's worth noting that this time you're not up against the DeVitt Company or a criminal gang, but against Baton Rouge's citizens who think you ransacked their town and robbed the bank. And while shooting on sight is Disproportionate Retribution, they have legitimate grievances against the gang. Also, they seem to be acting more on misinformed stupidity than true malice. Some of their idle dialogues can be surprisingly good at humanizing the mooks. Some of them will invite another to play cards or to have a drink after their shift as part of their stock lines during a conversation. There are even instances of more elaborate dialogues humanizing them. For instance, in the Casa DeVitt Mission, it's painfully obvious that one of the Long Coats, named Bill by the other characters, has a crush on one of the gunwomen of the estate and tries to ask her out every time he passes near her during his round, but Cannot Spit It Out. You can still kill them if you want. Unlike previous games in the series, killing an innocent civilian is no longer an automatic mission failure by default (or even penalized in any way, outside of the game keeping track).note The only exception is the Casa DeVitt mission, during which killing a civilian is an instant game over. Isabelle can Mind Control enemies into killing their allies, including people who are clearly close friends they were just having a conversation with.
