In Conviction, TK-576 explains, a takedown usually results in a John Wick-style bullet to the head of Fisher's enemy. There's also the insistence that Sam's takedowns in Conviction are always "magically lethal" (except in Lincoln Memorial). This happened in four sections across three chapters, where hordes of guards appeared and the safest choice was to simply dash like a madman to the exit!" TK-576 went for consistency in the approach to Conviction, they said, and avoided enemies where possible: "If we could consistently play and replay sections and reliably avoid enemies each time, then we avoided those enemies in our 'official' count. To date, it's the only Splinter Cell where pacifist runs and ghosting aren't possible."
"But Conviction has multiple sections where the game doesn't even allow you to progress unless you kill everybody in the area.
Canonically, these are Sam's only confirmed kills. "In prior Splinter Cell games, you have the option to avoid killing NPCs completely, except non-optional targets like President Nikoladze in the first game, Norman Soth in the second game, etc. It's a similar deal for all the Splinter Cell games except Conviction, which stands out like a sore thumb as Fisher's John Wick moment. All other enemies can be avoided, if the player wants. So, the original Splinter Cell's kill count is three because in that game Fisher is forced to kill three people. According to TK-576, this kill count is supposed to reflect Fisher's canon kills. Now, of course the methodology is important here - and is already a point of contention in the thread. The answer, according to a reddit post from user TK-576, is 493 - and 472 of those are from the divisive Splinter Cell: Conviction. How many people has Sam Fisher killed? That's a question a group of Splinter Cell fans have tried to answer.
