> I had the same VIP area issue, on reload I watched the guard conversation and then another guard goes to the bathroom where you can jump him for his keycard. There were a few different ways to do it I think. yeah I ended up playing through it a few times. part of why it was so confusing was that I actually went straight to the manager the first time I went in the back hallway area. he seemed a little surprised to see me, but wasn't too upset. I had to reload because I threatened to fight him if he didn't spill the beans and I lost the fight. the next time through, I ran into someone else who just shot me on sight. > Once inside nobody saw me as a threat though which was odd. I was wearing an arosaka vest so maybe that’s why? if that's the actual reason, that would be pretty cool! I'd actually love a more implicit/nuanced system for "where am I allowed to be". the thing that really breaks the immersion is wondering whether I am solving a puzzle or troubleshooting a bug. in general, I only do the latter for pay :)
