[PC/360/Ps3] Dishonored

[Lordnine]

I finished this last night

I liked the game,the graphics and art were great,but i do feel a little disappointed

I killed pretty much everyone i came across and got the ..i guess bad ending

Spoiler for Hiden:

It made me laugh when Emily said about the others who had been killed at the pub and said she probably would of had them killed anyway

Samuel shot into the air at the beginning of the last mission to give my position away,so i shot that bastard....sick of him being soooo fucking perfect anyway


I got the end,where Emily was older and she put a teddy bear on my grave....Samuel's grave featured,only for some reason i was not pissing on it

If it wasn't for collectables,there are some missions that could be done very quickly,even with no killing

It was a good little title to fill in the gaps between Borderlands 2 and the games coming out now,but nothing more i think

Yep, you got what is my least favorite ending. If anyone wants to see how things could have been different you can see them here.  MAJOR SPOILERS

[metallicorphan]

I started to see what achievements i could rinse from this before i traded it in,and there is one where you can let vital targets live,by having other people take them off your hands and out of harms way if you do them a favour..so i mission selected the first target(about mission 3 i think),and just ended up playing through the game again and this time i got low chaos and the good ending...Samuel was more friendly this time,infact the whole last level was in daylight instead of darkness,and Emily's picture of me before that level looked human rather than Terminator(the mask)..in the end i got 44/50 achievements,so not a bad haul

[disarm]

I just finished this tonight and have to say that I really enjoyed it overall...very cool and well executed concept. I was going for a non-lethal playthrough and almost succeeded, but I somehow got charged with two kills over the course of the game. I went out of my way to avoid intentionally killing anyone, but the level stats show that I killed one person in each of two different levels...not sure what happened. That still gave me the most positive ending though.

That said, I did find the ending to be a little disappointing. After all that happened in the game, I found the final mission to be surprisingly simple and was really disappointed by my final deeds that brought on the ending cutscene...pretty anticlimactic. I still had a lot of fun getting there, however, and think that Dishonored is a great game overall...would love to see a follow-up at some point 

Spoilers for my ending...

Spoiler for Hiden:

I managed a 'very low chaos' ending in which I stopped Granny Rags, saved Emily, left all the major characters alive, brought an end to the plague, and died a hero...not a bad life's work. I was really disappointed that my final mission to stop Havelock was as basic as climbing the lighthouse, walking into a room where he was standing alone at a table, Blinking behind him for a choke-out, and letting Emily out of a locked room. As soon as she jumped into my arms, the final cutscene and credits rolled...no final dialogue with the big bad guy, just a summary of everyone's life after the rescue.  It wasn't bad, but I guess I expected a bit more.

Just fired this back up again after getting add and away from it. It's awesome. This time I will finish it!

Spoiler for Hiden:

The bad guy has a big long monologue if you jump down in front of him instead of just killing him outright.

[Teggy]

So quick question - I know there is an effect on the game if you create chaos by killing, but does morality have any effect on chaos? For example in the first mission I find a note that says some guy is waiting somewhere with his life savings. Am I penalized in some way for stealing from him or is it just a role play thing?

[Lordnine]

No morality although sometimes doing side missions will have effects on later events, like a character will help you or a house will be abandoned and boarded up.

The chaos system is actually pretty logical.  Killing people results in more corpses, which increases the number of rats feeding on them, which in turn increases the amount of plague victims.

[Teggy]

They'll only feed on someone if they are dead, not if they are passed out the ground? That's kind of them.

[CeeKay]

what if you get the Shadow Kill ability that turns foes to ash?  no corpses for the ratses

  Unconscious people tend to get back up before being thrown in the dead body landfill.

Well, um, you see…magic draws the rats because…

*runs away*

[Bullwinkle]

Rats will totally eat unconscious people.  It may not bring more rats, but they will eat 'em and mess up your no-kill game.

DLC news due tomorrow.

[hepcat]

I have this game.  I don't dislike this game.  But I can't seem to motivate myself to play this game.

I have this game.  I don't dislike this game.  But I can't seem to motivate myself to play this game.  

I've had the same problem.  I like it when I play it, but I can't actually bring myself to play it.  It may be because the levels are fairly massive.

I was actually kind of hankering for it last week and then Tomb Raider hit.

[metallicorphan]

I had this game,finished the game and thought it was a good game,but not sure i would play the game again for DLC...maybe a year or two down the line when i just replay the whole game

This,last week won game of the year(well 'Best Game' if you want to be fussy) at the BAFTA Video Game Awards

[Jancelot]

DLC news due tomorrow.

Squee!  Barely have time for gaming right now, but I played this game through 2.5 times in a row.

[Turtle]

You know, I wonder... (mid game small spoiler)

Spoiler for Hiden:

If the DLC mission will finally let us meet that witch coven that one of Daud's notes mentioned. Besides murdering the Empress, Daud and his men seemed to cleaning up the streets of all sorts of dangerous people.

We've got the screenshots and the one piece of art they released on the front page.  I'm stoked - the multiplayer challenge mission DLC didn't blow my skirt up, but new single player content is 

[Lordnine]

Sounds great to me.  If the levels are as detailed as the originals that’s a pretty reasonable price too.

[Bullwinkle]

I'm cross posting this from the April Fools thread because it's worth it.

I did a window playthrough of the game but I found the gameplay too transparent.

[Lordnine]

The Knife of Dunwall DLC expansion is out today. It includes three new missions and people are reporting that it takes between 3-8 hours to finish depending on your play style. That’s a pretty nice chunk of content for $10.

Mine is downloading right now.

[Jancelot]

Nice! I'll have at it this evening.

[JCC]

Picked it up and gave it a spin at lunch today. The gameplay is definitely more Dishonored, but I don't really have any connection to this new character - at leas not yet.

I don't think this is really a spoiler, but just in case... (very beginning of DLC opening cutscene spoiler)

Spoiler for Hiden:

They show you a cut scene of the character you play in this DLC killing the Empress (at the beginning of the proper Dishonored game). I find it an absolutely STUPID decision that they didn't have you PLAY this section of the game....

Michael Madsen is fine as the main character's voice... This guy's not a mute like Corvo.

[Lordnine]

I just completed the first mission of the DLC.  I spent about 2 hours with it, completed all the optional objectives and finished with a nonlethal score.  If the other two missions are as good this will be one of the best pieces of DLC content I’ve played.

[Lordnine]

I finished the DLC campaign tonight.  Completed all side objectives and didn’t kill anyone.  Total playtime was 5.6 hours according to Steam.  The third mission was the shortest and weakest of the bunch but still very fun.  A very solid piece of DLC all around.  If you enjoyed Dishonored and want more of the same from a slightly different perspective, I highly recommend it.

--Edit--

And… I also completed a speed run on the hardest difficulty playing as the most ruthless bastard who ever lived.  For those that like to replay, there are multiple endings.
