>>388926876
it's alright, I didn't say it was bad, it's just not you know, it's missing that thing.

That being said, I think dishonored 2 is a chore more than anything else to play, it feels much better to play but I can't help but find myself getting annoyed and fighting with the game more than flowing with it.

>>388926850
I wouldn't call it worthy, I'd say it's a successor only in appearance, it doesn't have the same aura not does it ask for the same level or respect from the stealth as a thief does.
I don't think Dishonored is much of a stealth game anyway, Dishonored is quite ying and yang about combat and stealth, they more or less bleed into each other and I think that's probably more along the lines of how dishonored reaches its state of flow, you can just leave out one-half of the gameplay but honestly I think by themselves each half is quite empty.

and as far as stealth goes I'd rather play stealth game where everything is tailor made for stealth than something that has to adjust to two wholly different methods of interaction. it's good, it's just not thief good.

>>388924810

>>388928602
Don't let the shitposters get to you like in most other threads. She's just there like any other character, but people try to make bait threads by pointing out that she's "shoehorned" for the purpose of the game being "progressive".

>>388928690
Does anyone like her?

>>388929203
I do not care about her
I liked her in Knife of Dunwall, disliked her in Brigmore Witches, and now she had redemption arc so she is just another character who is ok to use
Corvo and Emily had their chapters, Daud as well, but Daud is old now, probably few years younger than Sokolov, so why not use his student?
if there is nigger agenda, that is not a problem in Dishonored, you better bitch about Battlefield 1

>>388928097
Dishonored has its own identity, it's not trying to be Thief 3. But it is a good successor.

>>388930094

Arkane and Dawson did a good building her character up in Knife of Dunwall. She was constantly covered from head to toe in armor, and spoke in a normal American west coast accent. You never expected her to be black but upon the face reveal it didn't matter as it shouldn't. There's no we wuz accent or hol up people in the world of Dishonore. There are black people, but no niggers.

>>388932178
Daud isn't augmented like Billie. They can't be using the powers of the Void when working against the Outsider. Just like Garrett in Thief The Dark Project, you're going to use good old technology to kill a god.

>>388923719
who is this guy?

The booby trap Eye was literally a bomb built by the Hammerites. Not every god in every fiction is immortal or even untraditionally mortal. He was just a really strong demon from a time when humans had no power to resist him.

>>388936297

Its just illogical. I wouldnt mind if some characters expressed sorrow it had to involve so much killing, I wouldnt mind if some characters would end up surprised if I stayed my blade, but first trying to make me bond with the boat guy and then making him suddenly get butthurt I killed some people is stupid. Sokolov being sad that I killed someone for high treason is stupid. If I have an ability that turns bodies into ash if I kill them down spawn more bloodflies/weepers. Make it feel more natural

Billie isn't as progressive as you think anon. The one nigger in the group fucks up everything and gets away with it. But keep reading your conspiracy between the lines if you want to keep yourself butthurt.

>>388937015
>>be the only black female

>>388923767
>he doesnt want to play the National Treasure of the dishonored series
It might be the last game too, since this is clearly the DLC and 2 didn't sell very well

>>388928704
Not really. The lore specifically states that there have been long stretches of time with no Outsider whatsoever. D2 implied that a ritualistic sacrifice is needed to create an Outsider. If the current Outsider dies and nobody does the ritual sacrifice, then there's just no Outsider.

>>388929203
Billie Lurk is unironically one of my favorite characters in Dishonored, just below Daud. I've wanted Billie to be playable since I first played Knife of Dunwall, so I'm hype as fuck for DotO.

>>388935548
>>388937014
>waaah, why does it matter if i go around massacring levels? please don't have consequences :(

>>388937685
Why is Daud so universally loved? In my mind, he's a well-written character with very real inner turmoil, a man who kills for a living suddenly faced with the consequences his actions have wrought across the entire world. There's something fascinating about a killer with a conscience.

That, and Michael Madsen's voice can earfuck me all day long.

>>388937882
probably because of 2nd time you see him
first time, he kills Empress
second time, his boys capture you, weak, poisoned and weak
instead of killing you, like generic villain, he captures you, takes your shit and tells you about outsider shrines
He is Evil Corvo+, but with DLCs, he becomes his own character, like Ted Cruz in USA elections, redeemed

I also don't understand. Always been a way bigger Corvo fan than Daud. Well, at least until they fucked him up and had him become a chatterbox in 2. Now I'm not sure if there's any character in Dishonored I actually like.

>>388938213
never had a single problem and played it on laptop

>>388937232
Can someone make some bullet points regarding how this appears in the games? You know, in a way that genuinely compromises design and impacts the product in a negative way?

For example Thief 2 was made by a bunch of progressive Bostoners. It added black and female guards into a medieval steampunk setting and nobody complained because a completely alien fictional fantasy universe with quadroelemental physics and monkey demons doesn't have real world design restrictions.

The same thing with the futuristic Call of Duty games. Human females are objectively less physically fit than males, which is why historically they have not been in military roles. But with mechanical and cybernetic augmentation only the technology is the limit. Adding females into combat roles in those games took away nothing.

In contrast, CoDWWII and black female nazis for the sake of black female nazis. Historical authenticity compromised for no good reason. List some of those in regards to Dishonored and Arkane's political biases.

>>388938308
The answer is simple: /pol/v/ didn't exist at the time Thief 2 was released. They would have bitched nonstop at Thief 2 if it came out nowadays.

>>388938269
Maybe they updated it at some point? Tried the demo a while back and it chugged on low settings on my 390x :/

There is so much you could do with the series, the places you could go, the powers you could have, the world building.

It would be a shame to never get a different protagonist that the ones that we got which are all interconnected.

Emily is great and all, but they're obviously going for the redemption angle. These are ruthless murderers whose careers of destruction were driven by the manipulation of that black-eyed bastard, and they want to make the world right again before they die. Emily has no such motivation, and any explanation for her going against the Outsider would have to be contrived specifically for the sequel.

Not for me. For the people who want this place to be their safe space. This site used to have only one barrier for entry: its obscurity. It was a niche site for people to talk about niche hobbies. Back then, merely being on the website was in itself a sign that you belonged here. But now that 4chan has grown to immense proportions, a lot of its users are trying to nail down what "really" makes someone a true 4channer, and it's basically a series of "no true scotsman" fallacies revolving around an ideal "Anon" that these users made in their own image. And so any time someone clashes with that image, they are assumed to be proof of outsiders diluting the userbase and ruining its collective identity, which leads to endless paranoia, because everyone is anonymous. So it's a vicious cycle of people trying to lock down who does and does not belong here in their eyes and only making things worse for themselves.

Dish1 and 2 are both good games, but because Dish1 tries to do everything at once it ended up being too easy. Dish 2 tried the same but its problem ended up being that it doesn't fucking work on PC.

Ironically one of the few games I know that tried everything and succeeded is Mankind Divided, which apparently sold less than what Square hoped.

Bethesda is a weird company.

As a publisher they actually God-tier in terms of what they put out, but their in house games rarely live up to that standard. And this is coming from a guy who doesn't think Bethesda's games are as bad as /v/ likes to claim.

Bethesda have actually been an excellent publisher. They publish good game after good game and I have yet to get a reason to be pissed at them. It's their development team that sucks.

So how many levels are confirmed so far?
It looks like another street-level Karnaca level, but those are the ones I love more than anything else. Also looks like we're returning to the Conservatory for whatever reason. Might be to steal the knife. And my fingers are somewhat crossed for a full level entirely in the Void.

>a full level entirely in the Void.

From what I understand, the Void is a realm underneath the lowest reaches of the deepest ocean. The coolest intro for a Void level would be using some kind of Sokolov Bathysphere to sail down past the demon whales until water disappears and Void begins. Sneaking into the Void without the Outsider knowing. No black magic that the scumbag could detect. It would fit the theme.

>>388944869
My bad. The knife used to sacrifice the Outsider. I don't know if it has a proper name.

The two protag thing was stupid, yeah, but I can see why they did it. Clearly they wanted to do Emily's story because Corvos is kinda clunky and just not very interesting. But if they had corvo a statue the whole game fans would riot. I regret playing through as corvo first.

>>388947420
I was gonna play as Corvo first but they had you play as Emily before you get to pick characters, so I had to stick with her.

>Death of the Outsider

But why? He did nothing wrong

>>388944736
I think there are like 5-7 levels.
Basically the length of Knife of dunwall and Brigmore Witches combined.

What do you guys think about the "taking contracts" part in Death of the Outsider? I think it's a good addition, gives me more stuff to do in a level. I always liked the small side-missions you occasionally had, glad to see they're expanding it.

Also, Displace looks amazing. Better than Blink and Far Reach in my opinion.

>>388949615
Contracts are awesome. Like you said, it's just more ambient stuff to do and I love exploring this world.

Displace looks motherfucking amazing. Easily the best traversal skill and could be used to set up some absolutely insane combos.

>>388949759
Have you seen the gameplay video StealthGamerBR did for the DotO? So good, glad to see Arkane finally got him to showcase Dishonored. If you ask me they should've gotten him to do all the gameplay promos a long time ago.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkAqxhkgpE4

>>388949154
He's a kid with a magnifying glass. He doesn't set the ants on fire, just the forest around the anthill, and likes to watch the ants react even though he knows all the possible end results of his meddling. He has a choice and chooses to do evil, and lets the tiny humans clean up the mess or make things worse. He's neither benevolent or ambivalent, therefore he's malevolent.

>>388924810
There won't be any sequels. The world is ripe for exploring but the gameplay mechanics can't really go much further.

>>388923719
The disguise ability seems like it would be broken as fuck, but maybe the levels will be designed with areas for specific gangs or people.

>>388950019
Shows that the AI is still blind as fuck.

>>388949615
>better than Far Reach

t. nigga who didn't explore Domino+Far Reach combos.

Sigh. If only Dishonored weren't so fucking easy. Just spam ridiculous powers and have the Heart tell you where to find upgrades.

If you actually had to play at the level of StealthGamerBR and others like him to beat the game on the highest difficulty, then I'd enjoy Dishonored. After all, I love Thief and Deus Ex, and the gameplay engine is rife with opportunities to utilize and combine various tools and environmental traps. But as it is, the game doesn't push you to use any of those things and it becomes a blink-choke simulator.

Arkane said that Death of the Outsider is the end of the Jessamine arc (so Corvo, Emily, Daud, Billie etc. won't appear anymore), but not the end of the Dishonored franchise. Harvey even said that DotO allows them to get more creative for the next Dishonored games. That being said, the franchise will probably take a long break since they said they worked on Dishonored for 8 years and they want to do new stuff.

Dishonored 2 didn't sell bad as some people like to say, it already sold over 2 million copies and was constantly in the best seller list on the steam summer sale. It's the kind of game that will sell in the future too, just like the first one did and still does (Dishonored 1 also sold a lot in steam sales and such). I don't think Bethesda wants to retire the franchise. Prey did kinda flop though, which is a shame. Bethesda should've never made them call it Prey, it was doomed to fail from the start.

>>388952287
Did you try a no powers run? I found it significantly more challenging doing a no power run on very hard.

I think you need blink for 2 or 3 places in the first game, but in the second game you can refuse Outsider's powers altogether.

I really hate how they ruined the outsiders character with two
Instead of being a God or demigod its, "lol i was just some guy"

Do you have a source for this? Because I love all of it, if you aren't bullshitting me. But if that's the case and this game isn't meant as a cap-off to the Dishonored series, then it's really dumb that they're killing The Outsider, in my opinion.

>>388952571
>Gave powers to Delilah
No. He hated that Delilah had those powers. That's why he was so hell bent on Corvo or Emily killing the bitch.

>>388952453
I have not, and I imagine it's the only way I could get a true challenge from these games. Which is a shame, because I have to ignore over half of the gameplay mechanics to keep from getting bored -- isn't that the opposite of how it should be?

Also, I've never felt that the stealth engine is quite up to par, compared to the robustness of something like Thief. Sightlines are wonky and the sound propagation is mediocre. Also you have that crazy three-foot lean that keeps you invisible. Ech.

>>388952705
He did originally give her the powers, though. The Brigmore Witches wouldn't have taken off if not for The Outsider. She only managed to do the backstreet Void deal because she was cast there by Daud.

>>388952880
Oh okay, yeah you're right.

>>388952326
Next Dishonored better be in Pandyssia.

THE OUTSIDER IS A GOOD GUY, WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO KILL HIM?

Dude is always helping the underdog and when someone uses the gift he gives for horrible shit, he always gives powers to a champion to even the odds.

He is neutral at worst. Daud is a jackass.

>>388944551
I have a really love-hate relationship with Bethesda. On the one hand their development team is pretty shit and they do garbage like the creation club, but on the other hand they constantly publish some of my favorite games these past years like DOOM, Dishonored, Prey, Wolfenstein etc.

As a publisher they are good and I hope they continue to let Arkane/id Software/MachineGames do their thing. I'm a bit concerned that Arkane is hiring an online engineer now, I hope Bethesda is not making them do some multiplayer shit they don't want to make. Unless they're finally making The Crossing?

>>388953117
He gives powers to another person, not a champion. The "bad endings" in Dishonored 1 are possible: defeat those who wronged you but the country is still in turmoil. As the player character, you can chose to be more heroic and do deeds like help the scientists work on a cure for the plague while also not killing every guard you see.

>>388952686
http://wccftech.com/future-dishonored-not-based-emily-corvo/

>In that sense, Smith stated the following: “All I know is that for this set of characters and this situation that started with the rat plague and went through Corvo and Emily and Daud and Billie and The Outsider, this is the finale of that piece,” he said, in addition to confirming that “if there are more Dishonored games they will be different characters in a different situation.”

>>388952801
In Dishonored 2 guards can see you if you lean, if I remember correctly. The AI is better than in the first game too, but it can still be improved.

You also have customized difficulty in the sequel, you can fuck around with about 20 sliders for stuff like no mana regeneration, guards search for you longer, how much noise your footsteps make etc. There's also Iron Man mode.

>>388953374
Yes, but my point is that he gives his powers to the people who need them. What they do with the powers is up to them.
My point is that when people decide to run amok with their abilities, at the very least, he evens the odds by giving someone else the means to fight them.

Like he did with Corvo when Daud used his powers to kill the Empress.
Or how he sort of helped Daud when he went after Delillah in the DLC, even if the help was very vague and via dialogue.
And once again when he gave his powers to Emily/Corvo when Delillah came back in DH2.

Point is, he isn't an evil being. He is, at worst, a neutral being and at best slightly good.

>>388952938
I'm not sure a Dishonored game in Pandyssia might work. Isn't that place pretty much a jungle?

Dishonored is all about urban settings which allows great level design. It's all about that verticality and climbing roofs and balconies and shit. I don't know how you'd do a jungle setting without it becoming repetitive and boring from level to level.

>>388923719
I fucking hate this bitch. Such a horrible fucking person. And they thought I'd like to play as her? Not to mention retarded as fuck objective of the whole game.

>>388952287
How else should you find upgrades? And even with the heart you cannot find everything if you dont try hard. You still have paintings and blueprints to find. And if you disable some of the UI in the options finding runes with the heart is a lot harder as well since it just gives you the direction, not distance.

The abilities are overpowered, but I think its more about comboing them for fun than balance. A lot of players are pretty bad at stealth and the crutches like blink are there for them to survive. Better players can do optional challenges like nonlethal, ghost, refusing the outsider's powers, etc. Its as good as its going to get for an AAA stealth game.

>>388954165
There's people living there but they are all savages that worship the Outsider or some other god.

>>388952801
In dishonored 2 you can make lean only lean you half as far and make guards unable to spot you/spot you slower/spot you as normal. Did you play it on the hardest difficulty? Because then those features are turned on

>>388954673
>How else should you find upgrades?
how about actually looking for them

They should have never explained the Outsider's origin desu

>>388954917
is dishonored 2 guards will see you if you're learning but not if you just walk halfway out of a wall making leaning absolutely useless

>>388954673
>refusing the outsider's powers
What does that one guard towards the end of the game say if you went through the game without accepting the Outsiders' powers? The one that is injured outside the castle walls and sitting down and initially calls you a heretic if you did use powers.

>>388923719
It's already cracked, so there's no need to waste your money on it

>>388954931
If you read the rest of the post you see me mention that is the way for the paintings/blueprints. And you can also see that I mention how you can disable UI elements to make it harder to find with the heart. And if you really dont like it you can just not use it.

>>388954707
Yeah, it's just that the environment doesn't seem very suited for a Dishonored 2. Unless they make some advanced civilization that built a whole lot of cities with tall buildings in the jungle for some reason.

Tyvia might be better, Dishonored in the winter would be really comfy. After rainy/gloomy Dunwall and hot/sunny Karnaka, a cold setting would be perfect.

>>388955190
What if I want to waste my money on it?

Not true in Dishonored 2, I don't believe. Leaning was massively nerfed there.

>>388953498
That's reassuring to hear. Both because it seems to imply that there might be more Dishonored and because we'd get new main characters. I wonder how Dishonored 3 would handle the super powers, though? Would they come up with new ones or just go in with the old reliable like Blink and Time Stop?

>>388954006
Dude, he's still creating a lot of chaos and deaths with his actions. Yeah, he gave Corvo the powers to stop the loyalists, but there wouldn't have been a bloody revolution if not for The Outsider giving Daud powers.

>>388954165
>>388954707
>>388955261
I imagine you could do a Dishonored game set in Pandyssia as a large population is attempting to colonize it. It'd be very much about urban and mystical levels, but it could be done.

With that said, if I were forced to make a game set in Pandyssia, I think I'd go with a spin-off pure action/survival game.

>>388956189
Daud was just a tool of many people in powerful positions. If Daud didnt exist they wouldve gotten someone else to kill her.

>>388923719
You mean the sequel to the bland shit of a game that was so bad I couldn't give away my copy outside of a best buy. None of my friends would take it either.

>>388956347
Corvo would have been able to stop them. See the beginning of Dishonored 1, she only got assassinated when Corvo got supernatural shit unleashed on him.

Corvo wasnt expected to be back when Daud came in. They threw him in prison even though they didnt want to because he was back early. And then the high overseer or something couldve just poisoned her tea, or any other plot.

>>388956085
So far they added new powers in every Dishonored installment, it's basically guaranteed that they'd have new ones in a future game. You always get a movement ability (Blink, advanced Blink for Daud, Far Reach for Emily, Displace for Billie), i'd be curious what other ability they'd come up with.

This should be what really happens. Not a game about revenge or whatever the fuck. Just a simple tale of the folly of trying to kill something so far removed from your reality. Might as well shake a fist at the sky and expect it to die.

>>388952938
Pandyssia is supposed to be a mystery. The worldbuilding of Dishonored works the same way as in Thief. You get a few tidbits of information and use your imagination. Anything revealed would probably just disappoint. Sokolov himself had a hard time putting the alien nature of the distant land into words.

My point is that it didnt matter. If corvo was late like expected, then Duad without superpowers wouldve killed the empress anyway.
>Because the empress was dead and the assassins supernaturally vanished, thanks to the Outsider
No because they needed to tie a loose end. Their idea was to tell corvo she was dead when he came back and pretend to be shocked and then go on. But since corvo was around they had to punish him to cover themselves.
>And how would they have blamed Corvo, then?
They wouldnt have. Remember they didnt want to blame corvo. If they wanted to blame corvo, why kill the empress while he is gone? If they wanted to blame him when he came back for being absent, they couldve done the same with any other plot right?

>>388959038

Fuck man. Also I completely missed you could knock the guy out to avoid him going insane. First time they didnt push your face into options (which I like a lot more than being told everything) and i miss it.

Also what does siding do anyway, I helped the overseer and he was just told me to get the code in hte howler base. What does the howler say? Go to the overseers to get the key for the code room? Because if thats the case youre quicker to just do it yourself without dragging a body around

also I had a bug the overseers aggroed on me when I walked with the howler his body to their compound even though the high overseer triggerred the friendship cutscene. After which his buddies tried to skewer me

I still dont get how they managed to put high and low chaos in this game. I cna only imagine it going one way
