Well, this looks like it should be a good object lesson to the other guy who tried to start one.

Can you show off where the big money caches are? I ended up missing 50-70% of the money throughout the game.

I managed to beat this game with a very limited number of kills, but I'd love to see how you get through the game completely non-lethally. Especially early in the game when you don't have any supernatural abilities I found it very tricky to avoid situations that required some kind of violence. Course that may have just been me learning the game and I'd do better if I went back, but magic is invaluable for a pacifist run.

Hey, good deal! I was just thinking about how I'd like to do dishonored videos, but I would have an awfully erratic release schedule. I might post a few videos if I think of fun stuff to do.

Also, you might want to post a policy on spoilers in the OP, unless I'm missing it?

I really tried with this game but it failed the "If I play something else, will I come back" test.

It seemed so cool and it feels like its lure and art direction were pleading for a 3rd person sandbox affair.

So if you don't kill anyone when you're escaping from prison, does the propaganda broadcast actually mention that, or is it always the same line?

The one thing that annoys me about this game is how little is explained. At least, in primary gameplay. Basically nothing in the world is really explained, for the power generation, to the equipment or even the organization of the society. It could have made for a MUCH more interesting game if they'd taken the time to develop the world a bit more outside of the crazy big codex you amass.

You're a ninja Thief with magical powers. No, I know what you mean, I've heard a couple people not necessarily hate the world, but seem "finished" with Corvo and a bit frustrated with the plot. I myself never really noticed much about The Outsider where I felt strongly that he was standing in for some message/idea or something else. Then again, too much would be more annoying, I think.

I killed two people on the prison level (not sure how) but was no-kill for the rest of it. I think stealthing it up was how the game was meant to be played, but later powers do make that approach quite trivial.

Unfair's still updating on his youtube channel. The posts that resulted in his probate/ban were awful and dumb, but I'm still sort of enjoying what he's done so far in this LP; so I'm not sure if I want to keep watching or just wait until somebody else picks it up (or I buy the game for myself).

Doom Goon posted:

Just guessing, but the two people probably were the 2 guards in front of the blast door. They take splash damage if they are put in the dumpster. Another possibility is in the rooms that the backup comes from, because if they are angry and attacking there is a chance of them shooting or slicing the unconscious bodies.

There are a fair amount of background details given through books and letters, but a lot is just left to the player's supposition. There doesn't really seem to be anything special about how the city operates - it's a steampunk mashup of various European cities engaged in maritime trade - and elements such as power generation are little understood by most people in the world anyway (whale oil = magic somehow).

It at least gives slightly more away than the Thief games do about the setting, but they were stronger in terms of characterisation of the main character. While he's not entirely silent (just unvoiced), little detail is given about his relationship with the Empress or his own personal past.

I think you can read that message in the Pembleton and Emily tableau. Can't remember what it says, though.

Regarding the Heart, I think it's commentary's largely random for the most part -- even for some of the named characters, like Wallace and Callista. I think the line we heard for Callista in the second LP segment is a generic line that plays for some of the other female servant characters, and I've had several lines for Wallace come up that not only play for other characters, but seem inconsistent with his characterisation to boot. Like the Heart claiming that he's an Overseer spy, or that he's got a wife and child (which seems incredibly unlikely, reading between the lines).

That said, I really love the Heart. The way it works, the way the player is allowed to deduce its history on their own, that it's basically a glorified objective marker system but covered up so much Grand Guignol that it's not readily apparent. It's really very cool.


The voice acting's so inconsistent in this game. I guess it helps the game's atmosphere by having some of the characters sound so wan and tired, but I can't think that Brad Douriff (Pierro) was meant to sound so horribly mumbly, or Lean Heady's character is meant to chew off the end of all her lines like she does. And Slattery's kind of poor here as well, though most everyone else is at least adequate if not great. I'm guessing it's down to the voice direction, but I've no idea really.

Calax posted:

The Heart strikes me as a missed opportunity. If they'd set it up so that it was kind of like The Darkness (in the titular game) and it would start talking about various areas without being yanked out and squeezed, It could have been used to integrate the background SO well into the game. Wouldn't have to be conscious, just "I recognize I'm in this area" and start whispering memories.
