This would make Contracts so much less frustrating, while also incentivizing completing the optional challenges.

I know IOI will never read this, but it would make contracts a lot more enticing, and I wouldn't have scummed my way to a Professional Screwdriver

no

get good

If you are simply doing it for the featured contract challenges, know that optional objectives don't matter, only thing that matters for those is the required stuff, the targets have gotta die, any complication that is not marked as [optional], and you leaving the mission via either the required exit, or any exit, if one is not required.

If you wanna go for a required exit, but don't know how to do it, there are video guides on how to get it to activate, and you can simply ask and tell us the contract so we can either tell you how to activate it, or just tell you the name of the exit, which would make searching the exit guides easier.

and again, if you are going for the featured contract challenges, know there are far more featured contracts than are required for all the challenges, and most have optional objectives that can be ignored if going for the challenges of just doing em.

I know the optional objectives don't matter, but it's more fun to learn a contract piece by piece until you can get it right, rather than restarting every time.

But like I said, if you save, you automatically fail the contract. Featured Contracts are so much more interesting when you follow all the objectives. They're usually made in a way where there's a flow if you do everything right.

As far as videos go, I would rather work it out myself, but restarting kinda kills the motivation to do that, because some things require trial & error, and tight timing.

See, here's the thing. I love the puzzle aspect of the game, but I can't usually work out a Featured Contract in 1 shot, and restarting is annoying.

BUT I COULD SAVE?!

Even with it failing me at the end, it'd be a game changer.
