 Empress dead, princess kidnapped and us stuck right in the middle of it. Revolution is oncoming as the throne is quickly filled by the very men who arranged the assassination and kidnapping. But what if I told you the revolution could be thwarted and the rightful heir to the throne restored in under an hour? I'm sure Corvo is thrilled. It will be a short painful journey filled with levitation, plenty of teleporting and half-assed assassinations. All in the name of Corvo's burning desire for revenge as long as it is convenient. The LP Dishonored allows for many different playstyles, stealth only, action runs, magic and no magic. Unfair made a very in-depth series on Dishonored and showed off many of the small details that makes Dishonored so fun to play through for the first time. But what about every other time? I have beaten Dishonored more times than I can count and still love to play through it, sometimes several times in one day. I want to show Dishonored for what makes it so much fun for me. By using speedrun routes and strategies I plan to show off the often hilarious chaos that ensues in the name of trying to beat the game with reckless abandon while still giving it a Dishonored feel. Because this means some levels will be going by so quickly, I have decided against my usual informative LP style as it would essentially turn into a speedrun walkthrough. I have instead opted for a Freeman's Mind narrative from Corvo's perspective to showcase the insanity of a story done as quickly as possible. Of course I will be slowing it down a bit to keep the LP from lasting only 40 minutes, I want to show off what makes the game fun for me not break a world record. Feedback Given that I typically LP in a more informative style, this is far from my usual style of commentary (and seems to be fairly rare for LPs in general). Let me know what you think. I'm working hard to make it entertaining and I'll keep doing my best to improve. Videos          Fan Stuff What Corvo doesn't realize is that over the years many prototypes of The Heart have been made to appeal to a wider range of audiences. Perhaps he should look into getting an upgrade. We have those appealing to the very young  Those that appeal to those looking for a hip retro feel  And it's even been in in popular media across the nation  Made by TyreForHyre perochialjoe fucked around with this message at 00:26 on Feb 19, 2015 |

No Gravitas posted:Umm... How does this high jump trick work, actually? Dishonored is kind of weird with how it calculates climbing. Basically when there is a corner bent at 90 degrees and perpendicular to the ground, the game thinks it is an infinite climb spot. So you get the angle right by jumping diagonally towards it and hold space so you climb it all the way up. The section in the courtyard with the Empress works because there is an invisible wall above the fence at that spot, so you can climb it all the way up.

RickVoid posted:Joe, this is straight up the funniest thing you've done. The Stalker videos were pretty great too, but the characterization in this is slaying me. Well done! Thanks a lot, man. This is way different from anything else I've done so it's good to hear that you enjoyed it so much.

Every rose has its thorn. Or a still beating heart that likes to whisper things to you. Also, thanks a lot you guys for the great feedback. Was pretty nervous about doing a LP like this but the response has been really good so I'm getting a bit more comfortable with it as I go.

Thank god for Sam's neck of tungsten. Also, sorry for the lack of recent updates guys. Been balancing a ton of things around lately and think I've finally smoothed it all out. I really appreciate the feedback, by the way. Thanks a lot for the support! perochialjoe fucked around with this message at 06:19 on Sep 21, 2014 |

Drachir D Nalem posted:I hope Sam gave Corvo at least two thumbs up for his accomplished way of assassinating that guy. Forgot his book, though. From the shape of his nose, I'm pretty sure Corvo pancaked it on his landing.

Pope Ron Paul II posted:Do you use speed-running techniques to get through these areas? A lot of these sequences look really loving fast and well-rehearsed. You teleport like a maniac. Yep. Those geometry breaks in part one are known as the elevator glitch, the first one was to skip the cutscene with Emily (basically only saves a few seconds) and the second one by the Empress is to make the enemies instantly teleport away since the game thinks you suck horribly and doesn't want you to die in the prologue. The prison skip is obviously the biggest time saver, just walking on the tops of the walls and jumping in the river. As for the first actual level, there aren't a whole lot of tricks to do there. Just a lot of teleporting. There is also a glitch that the glitch category speedruns use to teleport yourself through the door in Campbell's office so you can just kill him and run out rather than wait for him to unlock the door. But that glitch was patched out and you have to patch your game down to a previous version to use it. And of course one of my favorite tricks, no fall damage by landing on a person's head. Does Sam mind us breaking our fall on his face, though? Well, not as long as we're crouching. If you land upright on his head and bounce twice, then he'll decide we've gone too far and make us start the level over again. But crouching, you can bounce on his face more than a 9 year old in Halo and he won't care. ViggyNash posted:I personally wasn't expecting much after reading the OP (no offense), but I'm glad to be disappointed. You are a goddamn glorious madman. Really glad you gave it a chance. What about the OP made you not expect much? Between taking a key to the eyeball and the glory of decapitation with 40 lbs of draw strength, I'd be surprised if Corvo got the book myself. But nearly Turok'ing a guy's head is sure to make up for it, right?

Jobbo_Fett posted:I would hazard a guess that is seems light on text and maybe doesn't grasp enough attention as other OP's? I dunno, I'm grasping at straws I'm not sure about the DLC. I've been needing to buy it since I started getting into speedrunning Dishonored. I have heard that the DLC is fun to speedrun, though, so I'll have to look up some stuff about that. Might be difficult since Daud would be another personality to narrate as. But it could be fun, too. I'll look into that and let you guys know when I decide on what to do with that. ViggyNash posted:Saying it was a "Freeman's Mind"-like lp. Freeman's mind to me felt like a one-in-a-million success, so a random guy I don't know emulating that made me think it might just end up being spectacularly terrible. But, just maybe, it could just be plain amazing. Yeah, I could see that. I was kind of hesitant to draw that comparison for that reason. But I'm glad you ended up liking it anyway.

The game is just giving out relics left and right. Even Grandma and the hookers have them. But at least we get to stop by the Golden Cat  100Dachshunds posted:5'd. Dishonored is one of my absolute favorite games to PLAY... the story ain't much, but the gameplay is fantastic and so much fun. These speedrun tricks are great, your humor is great, I'm really enjoying this LP. No more month-long breaks, I want to see more! Thanks for the vote, man. Great to hear you're enjoying it. I'm trying for about an update a week now give or take a few days. But definitely no more month long waits. perochialjoe fucked around with this message at 17:50 on Sep 30, 2014 |

Glazius posted:Turbo Corvo is absolutely amazing to watch in action. You can really book it in this game. They set it up pretty well in this game. With all the relics they throw at you, we've got level 2 Agility (double jump + faster run speed) and level 2 Blink (Blink goes farther) before the second level is even complete. Also, I love it when games give you teleports. Especially if they are spammable like Blink is. That was the one redeeming thing about E.Y.E. That telefrag ability (even though you have to basically grind for 24 hours just to get it). What Corvo would do to have him one of those. perochialjoe fucked around with this message at 02:56 on Oct 5, 2014 |

ManlyGrunting posted:Nice of Sam to throw in a little cheerleading at the end there. "Get 'em Corvo!" Is hardly the worst thing to hear after a job well done. I'm kind of surprised that they bothered recording dialogue for when you fight people near Sam. I figured they would have made people disengage when you get near Sam to avoid the awkward scenario where you fight a guard and Sam just stands off to the side doing his own thing. double nine posted:what the hell happened with that dialogue audio? Did you edit the game and if not, how the hell does such a bug happen? Editing  I figured it was more appropriate given the ending of part 4 and that really odd glitch. I've actually never seen that glitch happen before in this game. I guess it's because I got back to Havelock before he got into the area for the cutscene, but I had the objective so it forced him into the sitting and drinking animation. I have no idea. perochialjoe fucked around with this message at 19:59 on Oct 14, 2014 |

Karate Bastard posted:Haha this is hilarious, good job Joe! Thanks a lot, great to hear you're enjoying it. As far as spoilers go, I'm pretty sure most people here have either played the game or watched a LP of it. Just incase, though, might as well stick to spoiler tags. Also, will be updating the LP this weekend. I'm about to start learning the speedrunning routes for the DLC as well so we'll be seeing the end of Corvo's adventure and beginning the madness of Daud's pretty soon.

Doesn't it need a key? If you mean the gate that leads to the area where the people were living, it doesn't need a key if you don't have the Granny Rags sidequest.

John_A_Tallon posted:I love how this game turned making soup into an ethics practicum. Pity we don't get to see how your Corvo would have approached it, perochialjoe. Oh but we did. Corvo isn't a fan of ethical dilemmas. Or ethics. So he skipped it altogether.

Corvo is such a good person. Remember to stick around for the DLC. Daud is itching for his turn in the spotlight considering he got all of 2 seconds of in-game time.

Donkringel posted:Why did Corvo straight up butcher that one gal? Everyone else (unless the specific target) got to live. Had to maintain this 'moral ambiguity' he's heard so much about. HMS Boromir posted:Would it be possible for you to show off the high chaos version too, or is it not very different when you're blazing through it at the speed of light? I don't imagine it would be any different. That section only took 45 seconds to go through and most of the guards didn't even have time to notice me. I'm not sure what's in high chaos but I don't think it would be anything that could screw up that route. Samovar posted:So, how long in total did this run take? Must have been just under an hour tops. It's hard to tell with the cutscenes included. My record is 47:55.9 (glitchless which means I had to actually go through the jail level as well). So it's pretty safe to assume that in terms of time spent in the levels, it was less than an hour especially since I was able to retry all the parts that I normally screw up at (that jump to the window behind Daud is a real pain in the rear end, as can the wall jump in the last level). Shei-kun posted:I... I... wow. Thanks a lot, I'm glad people liked this idea so much. We'll see how well Daud handles the power. He did seem a bit more professional than Corvo, maybe he'll even end the LP with his original kneecaps in tact (even though that just puts Corvo ahead in line for the singularity).
