Why does this game reward not killing anyone?

>>323295718
It doesn't. Some people don't approve of it but that's to be expected when you're killing people.

I never would.

>>323295718
Because you are trying to prove your innocence.
Killing doesn't help it all, hence the high chaos ending.

You are not Assassin, those gadgets are just here to make your way through shadows easier.

>>323295718
It's doesn't really "reward not killing" as much as it "punishes killing". But to be fair, it's never about Good and Evil with Dishonored.
The city is affected by a plague that is spread by the rats. The rats eat corpses. More corpses equals more rats that equals more plague, and that is what the bad ending is about.
Still very poorly implemented imo, but at least is not arbitrary morality like in many other games

>>323295718
>Be assassin
You're an ex-bodyguard senpai. You're only an assassin if you play that way and if you do, obviously not everyone would like that.

>>323295718
>Kill a single person
About two missions through the game, I got a charm that gave me mana every time I killed someone. I spent the rest of the game treating guards like squishy balloons full of delicious mana, and deliberately killed as many as I could, even going out of my way to hunt them down when I was low on mana. But I still chose the non-lethal option for all the big important, "Story" moments, and got the good end.

It's really not hard to get the good end.

After Arx Fatalis and DMoMM I expected more from Arkane.
I guess publishers forcing them to develop primarily for the casual console audience fucked them over for good.

ayy, cmon. it was okay

>>323296504
I thought it was better than DM overall. Obviously DM has the superior melee and glorious ice spells but for some reason all the levels before and after the island were boring as hell to me. I really loved Dishonored's levels.

>>323294260

The DLC is a lot better than the main game. Played throught Knife of Dunwall yesterday and really liked it.

>your character actually has a voice now
>you dont have to go to a hub to shop and get your next assignment, you just buy equipment and tips/favours from a shop screen, then on to next mission

That and those cutscenes with still images the DLC has, plus those favours/tips you can buy, reminded me a lot of Thief. Which I suppose makes sense, since of the designers of Dishonored, I think it was the lead designer, worked on Thief.

>>323296964

I thought the temple that you arrive at after going through the portal was very enjoyable, plus the catacombs at the end. The only level I think is genuinly bad is the city, since you cant stealth it very much in that one.

>>323296819

I for one didnt like the art style, but I'll agree about the lore, it was pretty cool. I'm happy to hear that we're going beyond Dunwall in 2.

My biggest problem with the game was Corvo and the story. Maybe I've been spoiled by Thief, Splinter Cell and Styx, but after playing those after I beat Dishonored for the first time, and then coming back to it, Corvo, and Dishonoreds story in general, just seems really bland.

Happily enough, thats been changed for Dishonored 2. Corvo and Emily will both be playable, and both will have voices.

>>323296964
I agree that the catacombs and overall undead levels were not very good, but the feeling of movement and combat controls made more than up for that. In dishonored all you do is a single melee attack with counters, shit's stale as fuck.

>>323294668

kek

>>323297594

What other games have melee combat as good as Dark Messiah? I've heard good things about Dying Light. I also heard something about a game called Hellraid but its apperantly on hold.

>>323294260
>no bait

>>323296964
>superior melee
If broke as fuck hitboxes with no relation to the enemy's animations are what you call good, then yeah.

>>323295718

You are not an assassin. Your job orginally was to protect not to murder.

The system was built around that. Will you deal with them without having to kill them. Or do you only care about the bloodshed.

The hitboxes are fine though.

>>323295718
>>Become evil if I kill a single person
But that's wrong.
You don't get the high chaos rating until you kill more than 50% of the NPCs in a mission.

>>323294260
This game has a really cool setting and atmosphere and a lot of interesting things going on with the abilities but it's so flawed in so many ways.

The way you pick between your abilities is fucking horrendous. The game incentivizes stealthiness and non-lethal runs and then it gives you a ton of fun lethal weapons and abilities to play with.

Even though the game was designed by Harvey Smith it's incredibly linear. A silent protagonist makes no sense in a game like this.

>>323297071
Is that centered around a different character or you play as Corvo and he finally has a voice ?

>>323299214
is this post supposed to be ironic or something? Because that WEBM is a very obvious example of shit hitboxes.

>>323301045

That came out weird

I meant that the UI is really bad

You play as the guy who kills teh Empress, he's voiced by Mike Madsen.

Looking forward to D2 2bh, sounds like they're acknowledging every criticism I had of the first one. But it's supposed to be out this year and there aren't even screenshots, hopefully nothing went horribly wrong with it.

>>323294260
MAde a YT video a long time ago about how boring the game was and the salt was real in the chat section. I'm sorry, but in my opinion it wasn't good.

Which ending will Dishonored 2 build upon and is therefore canon?

would you kill for three different stories depending on the ending you took on the first one?

>>323302994
Considering Mass Effect, you know shit like that is nearly impossible.

Dishonored 2 gameplay trailer when?

>>323294260
It's pretty shit. It's praised by people that never played a proper stealth game like Thief II or a game with proper combat like Dark Messiah.

>>323304716
It's praised by plenty of people who played those, including old Thief developers themselves.

>>323305365
Old Thief developers does not a Thief game make, that's pretty evident.

>>323304716

Though I like Dishonored (especially the two DLCs) I must admit that I liked Dishonored a lot more back when I was a consolefag whose only experience with stealth was the Sly Cooper. Then I played the Thief series and come back to Dishonored and was like "wow, this is not as great as I remember it."

I still like it a lot though, and hopefully Dishonored 2 will be even better.

>>323305960

* the Sly Cooper games.

>>323304716
Is this bait ? Dishonored was made by the studio that made Dark Messiah and Harvey Smith who very closely worked with Warren Spector on Deus Ex, Warren Spector who MADE Thief

>Old Thief developers does not a Thief game make, that's pretty evident.
What the fuck is that even supposed to mean here? That they didn't make Thief 2?

>>323308070
It means the game isn't as good as the original Thief games because of many reasons, publisher interference and design with consoles in mind are probably some.

It was an entertaining guard murdering simulator, but the stealth was supremely lacking. You were given an inordinate amount of lethal skills and neat powers but comparatively little in the way of stealth.

It didn't feel satisfying at all to use stealth because the enemies were blind and stupid on top of not being a threat at all. If I was seen, I could easily kill an entire wave of guards or just use the overpowered blink to completely reset everything. I was never in a position where I felt challenged or skillful.

>>323308428
This guys gets it.

There isn't much of a game the whole time

>>323294260
>for console

I feel u bruh.

>>323305671
>>323306456

It's not even meant to be like Thief. It's more like a modernised Deus Ex than anything. People who just compare it to Thief are totally missing the point.

>>323311178
I agree but it also isn't meant to be Deus Ex.
It's Dishonored. Like holy shit I can't understand why so many people get upset this game isn't a sequel to their favorite games.

>>323311178
>It's more like a modernised Deus Ex than anything
Do you mean dumbed down?

>>323311178
There already are modern Deus Ex games. Dishonored is just modern shit called Dishonored.
