Dishonored

Apparently Daud is immune to Bend Time.

Hearing him go "Nice try, Corvo." and start attacking me while everyone else in the room was immobilized was rather jarring.

@ the Librarian, hide that last sentence. Spoilers!

Pembletown and Martin/Havelok divide the island up into two camps, which are in stalemate when you arrive.

The same thing happened to me. But I won't complain because it led to an incredibly badass Boss Fight. I love how he actually stops time so you can fight without any interruptions

sooooo...

i just took down the ruffians in front of granny rags home from afar with a sleep dart and i was wondering 2 things...

1. if i take down one member of group who do not split up, and the rest of the members are taken down in short measure, does that count as "discovering" a body?

2. granny's next quest involves poisoning an elixer or something...does it count as a kill? cuuuuz i still havent decided if i want to do a pacifist run or not and id like to keep my options open for now.

1. Yes

2. No

It may not ruin your stats, but I'm pretty sure poisoning a supply of plague vaccine and possibly killing tons of innocent people relying on it goes against the spirit of a no-kill run.

Doing the poisoning actually just makes weepers of Slackjaw's men. The tainted elixer doesn't reach the general populace.

Yeah, but you wouldn't know that, would you?

It's revealed in the next mission, but I do see where you're coming from, that it's not clear that the effects would remain confined to the boys.

So, I hear this game has only 9 missions. Does that include the prison break at the start?

^ Yes...although the prologue is separate...(and killing there count against Clean Hands, dammit...)

Is there a place I can read all the journals and such online?

Anyone got a screenshot of the picture Emily draws with high chaos?

so...is slackjaws method the only non lethal way to deal with the pendleton twins?

cuz i mean...i did poison the bottle street boys elixer just the night before, so i dont wanna work with em...

moral integrity, i think its called.

Thread Hop: So this is a thing.

^^ Yes...

Yeah...

I was kinda annoyed at how easy non-lethal runs made some levels, and how clearly guided we were each time. There's no real challenge in any of them.

It's not a very challenging game, honestly, unless you ramp the difficulty way up and try for a ghost run.

so...

on the mission where you abduct sokolov, there are 2 survivors behind a wall of light..and i ko'd all the surrounding guards, free'd them, got the information and safe combination...

and then the survivors started screaming, ran into a house and one of them died.

what was that about? its not in reaction to me, cuz its happened while i wasnt even in their line of sight, and ive seen it happen multiple times with absolutely no sign of what they're screaming at or what kills the guy.

^ No idea either...try load a save game and follow them to see what happened? I don't remember that any of them did that in my playthrough...

I could never even get them to speak to me.

They told me the combo to a safe. Dunno what you guys did.

Anyway, I wonder if I could beg the devs into adding an option to disable mana regen, because god damn does Blink make everything easy. See a guy you wanna kill? Blink right to him and stab him while he's pissing himself? Wanna get away? Blink to a rooftop. Wanna do parkour? Fuck parkour! Use Blink!

Also, some AI improvement would be nice. The AI has good groundwork, but it misses obvious shit, like open doors, extinguished light sources, and loud noises.

Beat the game today, high chaos.

I went for the "kill 'em all" end because fuck it, those guys betrayed me, and I killed everyone else who did that already, why should they get away with it?

Didn't like how Samuel was all, "And you! You disappoint me, Corvo. It's like you were trying to be brutal."

I was all, "What the hell? Fuck you, man, that was uncalled-for."

I wish the guard AI would react to me choking out his partner guard in the middle of a conversation.

@Kev-O: Okay this might sound stupid...but how can I turn off the lights? Also blink has problem when it comes to vertical ascent...you'll need at least level 1 agility to help with that...

Also, I really wish there's stealth games that have guards notice that there's just quite a few people gone already and actually start searching...this game does have guards notice a bit that there's supposed to be people patrolling an area if you choke someone, but they don't seem to be suspicious about it...I think that should help a lot against just knocking everyone unconcious and stroll around the area that I like to do with all stealth games...

Okay, I've made up my mind over what to do with this. Since it's apparently really short, I'll probably just rent it for a weekend when I go home from college.
