After patiently taking out most of the guards in the mansion mission, I successfully make it to the 2nd floor of the mansion without being detected. The game then goes into a movie, where you character talks to the corrupt official. After the talk, my character knocks the official out, and I carry him off to the exit point without being detected.

The problem I have is that the game won't let me exit now. Has anyone ever had this problem?

Here are two screenshots I made:

Safely at the marked exit location with corrupt official

The mission objectives



The game prevents me from leaving because I haven't completed an objective, which is either "interrogate corrupt official" or "covertly leave the mansion."

I've even tried to wake up the unconcious official by shooting him, but it seems there's no way to interrogate him again.


Any hints?

Well, it is "covertly leave" you haven't finished. Why is a bit harder to figure out, however... try leaving via another edge of the map?

I've been in all areas of the map, but that didn't make a difference. I gave up on trying to leave the mansion covertly, so I proceeded to kill everyone else that was left. Unfortunately, the only people left were civilians. No matter how loudly I killed the civ's, I was still officially "covert." I ever killed the corrupt official, but that didn't make a difference.

Instead of starting the mission over, I'm just going to start a new character From the looks of this forum, the scout is a pretty good late-game unit. (I normally play as a grenadier).

Leaving covertly is odd because this mission is the only place I've run across the mechanic. You go out the window(door?) and force your character to jump off the terrace to the ground, sometimes it takes a few tries.
