Steam Hitman 2: Silent Assassin is the Censored Version

Hey, just for you guys to know, the steam (1.02) version of this game is the censored version, which means there is some cut Dialogue (both in-game & in Diana's briefing) concerning the Sikh's levels, so if you did find them weird (they cutted the explanation about the whole cult's deal with terrorism) its because of censorship. Besides the dialogue, it seems they made a minor tweak and 47 doesnt wear the turban while desguised as a sikh member.

While its a very minor point, its for people to know what their are getting. If you have the original CD version and dont want steam's to be censored, just copy & paste the mission files (very easily found on the game's folder) over steam's.

Its not much big of a deal, i really dunno why it was censored, i belive its manly because Diana uses Sikh religious terms in the briefing, they also removed Agent Smith's line where he calls the Sikh assassins "♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥".
With the uncensored version, Diana makes it clear its an extremist sect of the Sikh that deals with arms contraband & terrorism, with how things are now, its quite "random" as to why 47 went to india and how some people in orange are trying to kill him.

Don't remember the specifics, but it was an issue around the time the game was released and so the censorship isn't anything new. Frankly it's not worth complaining about.

Sigh. ANY censorship is worth complaining about.

So is it worth it? Are the cencorships significant?
Please reply fast, the collection is for sale just until tomorrow.

Well, you can download the files from the CD version and replace them.

Diana's Briefing is clearly chopped off in the indian levels, on the first level they even cut "forty" from Forty Seven. The censorship is only present in 3 levels (the first one being the most "heavily" edited), as already explained above, Agent Smith's dialogue is also altered for the first level and 47 doesnt wear the turban if he disguises himself as a cult member.

While its mildly annoying, if its very cheap, its worth to get it.

Thanks a lot!
Is "blood money" and "codename 47" cut, too?

I have the steam version and retail version (but it's part of a collection and already been patched).

Any chance you could upload those mission files somewhere? Thanks.

Right now i am currently on a 20 day trip so i dont have acess to my CDs, but if you really need them you can always use the big T and get yourself the original CD ISO. Install the original Hitman 2 and copy the files from the respectively mission number (off the top of my head its mission 19, if i am not mistaken) over steam's.

If you do so, you will end up with with the patched version, 1.02 and no censored content, just beware you will have to restart if your in the middle of any of the 3 Sikh missions (actually, you can even load the game, but if 47 disguises himself as a Sikh member, the game will crash).

Just installed from original 1.0.0.227 cd, and the whole SCENES folder is bit by bit exactly same size with the steam version. There must be some difference in file size if other ones are uncensored. What I'm doing wrong?
