Dishonored is the only game that has ever genuinely made me feel bad about being a murderous rear end in a top hat, while at the same time making being a murderous rear end in a top hat so much fun! :unsmigghh:

The DLC/pre-order bonus statues in Corvo's room also give you extra bone charm slots on top of money. Enough to equip all the bonus charms you get.

Here's the short version of the Edmund Fitzgerald for RoboKy: It was a cargo ship that sunk during a giant storm in 1975 in Lake Superior, and it got popularized as a folk song by Gordon Lightfoot.

And the long version, in case you want it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Edmund_Fitzgerald

If you reach Daud all sneakingly and avoid being spotted the assassin who runs in to warn him about Corvo mentions how no one saw anything and Daud comments that Corvo is better at their job than the sentries are. Very nice touch.

Also I only saw 2 back parries. :v:

So about that slackjob henchman: if you kill him he still manages to shoot [something] when you make your way to granny rags. That is to say a shot is heard when you get to the stairs. I don't think the devs considered the player just murdering him on sight.

Regarding the blade, it's in multiple telescoping sections, like three of them I think, no one of which is longer than the hilt. You can see the seams very clearly on the un-upgraded version.

Having a hollow blade like that might be a different violation, but I suppose it's like you said.

The biggest problem might be to prevent the blade from sliding back in when stabbing. I'm no expert but since no one is wearing any meaningful armor it shouldn't be too much of a problem if it was hollow as they're not likely to hit metal (except when parrying). But the joints for the sliding would definitely be weak points for no real advantage and they would probably jam all the time. All the blood and impacts shaking the thing would wear it out fairly quickly. The blade would also rattle which isn't a good thing in any way. It's a good weapon but you could injure and kill people with it I think. :shrug:

What happens if you just steal Daud's key, steal Daud's pouch, and peace out? Obviously it's possible to ghost this, and I'd love to hear some future bitching and moaning from him when you not only manage to escape, but escape without anybody, not even Daud, noticing.

I blinked up and choked him on my first playthrough and nothing special happened. The game treats it like you dueled and spared him, I think. But I wasn't ghosting so who knows?

That's actually a secondary objective.

He still disappears for the rest of the game, though.

That safe underwater in the back garden was the bane of my existence for a good half hour on my last playthrough, because I tend to panic in underwater segments, so I would stick my face underwater, dial in the first number of the combo, panic, surface, and repeat. Then I'd get spotted by an assassin, reload because it hosed up my ghost run, and find myself back at the entrance to that section, because I forgot to save. This happened three times.

Also a pain were all the krusts, because of course I wasn't upgrading my pistol or buying explosive bullets or any of the capacity upgrades. I'm not shooting anyone, why would I need those? :downs: So I'm carefully plinking at them with my crossbow and whatever grenades the game gives me. Then I move forward to loot that one group, and the one situated behind the pipe for exactly that purpose gets me.

I enjoyed the little bits of added sound.

Getting ghost and clean hands on this mission was a pain in the arse and have no idea why my successful run worked and some of the unsuccessful ones didn't.

I had no idea about the building full of survivors or that a building gave you a good place to blink onto the train. I ended up doing it from a lamppost.

I've beaten this game and I don't remember a drat thing about the Granny Rags/Slackjaw segment.

Speaking of which, iffy subtitles always really take me out of a game. I know it's really petty but it always stands out to me like a sore thumb. Who is "SlackJaw"?
