Pre-order bonus "Backstreet Butcher Pack" revealed.
Not really impressed. The Fencing seems like it should've been in the main game.
Alternatively, you can have the Arcane Assassin, Acrobatic Assassin, and Shadow Rat packs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nP9sAKBrq3k
It's sounding like these are Whalebone Talismans.

Well, 'fencing' (if you want to call it that) is in the main game. The pre-order bonus just gives you an advantage in that sort of sword on sword combat.

Oh. Well that makes more sense. And it really does sound more and more like special Whalebone talismans.

Really, we're still doing this "pre-order and make things easier for yourself" nonsense?
Still not embarrassing enough to stan billionaires or tech companies.

Yes. I'm saddened it's here to stay, rather than having proper content. But that would mean that content would be cut from the main game, which is bad.

They could always do what Darksiders 2 did and give people who pre-ordered a discount (or a free copy of) the first batch of DLC.

Interesting, that would probably work pretty well...
I'm not a fan of Darksiders, but that sounds like a really great way to do it.

It gives the people who pre-ordered an incentive without making the early game easy by giving them advantages that they might not even want, it means that there's no content that takes away from development time to make pre-order incentives, and it also seems more meaningful to people who pre-order the game, considering those are the people who pretty much already love the game and would probably buy the first batch of DLC anyway.

I prefer it when games give you something solid and separate from the game when you pre-order.
Like the Dishonored tarot cards.
That is a big reason why I preordered this game. 
I like getting in-game stuff for pre-ordering/buying new. There just seems to be a thin line between added value (fallout new vegas pre-order packs) and removed content (Shale in dragon age.)
Being able to put out candles/set up ambushes looks like a lot of fun. Depending on how enemies react to sound you could potentially lure every single guard down murder-hallway through chaining sound.
Is using "Julian Assange is a Hillary butt plug" an acceptable signature quote?
Uniocular
Shale was neither removed (well, she was, but due to technical problems) or pre-order content. She was new copy content they couldn't get finished in time to have in the main game.
On-topic: I don't particularly like "in-game bonus" preorder stuff, but I don't hate it, either. I'm a bit disappointed that Dishonered has it, but I'm imagining it's Bethesda's influence.

Huh, dialogue options.

First person hugging.

Pfft. Mirror's Edge did it better.
Why would I write that?
I hope I can hug someone and then stab them in the back and comfort them as their own blood fills their lungs. 
Isn't the game creepy enough? What with sending unconscious women off to creepy stalkers.

The only game I've seen where you kill someone while looking dead in their eyes as they expire is Kane And Lynch.
“We wanted to build the world around the missions so that it was believable, but it has a lot of elements that we don’t actually use in the game,” he said. “So we definitely want to explore more of these things.” Dunwall’s Victorian flair already imparts heaps of personality into Dishonored’s atmosphere, so additional city styles (possibly with Dunwall and Half-Life 2 designer Victor Antonov behind the brush) raises my assassin mask’s steampowered eyebrows in interest.
So, we might be looking at entirely new player characters at entirely new locations. That's the right and proper way to do DLC, I think. I approve of Arkane playing around with the mythology and game engine in new (possibly related) storylines instead of just trying to foist off bullshit that should have been in the vanilla game.

Well goddamn, that sounds awesome! :O

Wow, that does sound awesome. The problem is, how will you use powers in that case? Then again, I wouldn't be surprised if The Outsider is one of those trickster types who goes around giving powers to mortals for the lulz...

I want to possess a kitten, purr at some guard's leg, then leap on his face and scratch his eyes out. As he's screaming on the floor, clutching at his eyeless sockets, I'll sit primly on the sofa and watch the guards come in and see only a cute kitty on the sofa.

And besides, I don't think you can do anything while possessing something besides move around.

@Enkufka: As we can see, violent video game turn people into sadists!
Sim City took best PC game.
Rayman Legends took best Wii game.
Warface took best free to play game.
Call Of Duty: Black Ops 2 took best online multiplayer in a game.
