 Official site (does anyone even go to these anymore?): https://dishonored.bethesda.net/en  Announcement Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnsDyv-TtJg PCGamer posted:Corvo and Emily both travel to Karnaca in Serkonos, a sun-soaked southern colony of the Empire, to dismantle the conspiracy brought against the throne. Both characters are now voiced (Emily by Erica Luttrell, Corvo—brilliantly—by Thief's Stephen Russell) and each brings a different perspective to this new city. "Emily is Dunwall," Smith says. "Empress, assassin. Corvo is a foreigner—he's from Serkonos. In Dishonored 2 he's a man going home."

Having Stephen Russell voice Corvo...well, there's literally no one more perfect. Anyway yeah so this thread's a little early but whatever, series owns, Arkane owns, Bethesda dropping the game on a AAA date owns, Stephen Russell owns, let's talk about it. 11/10 Update: Seems like there's a few performance issues on release (and likely to be solved with a patch or two). But in the meantime check this out if you need to: http://www.gamepur.com/guide/24937-dishonored-2-pc-error-fix-low-fps-nvidia-and-amd-cards-disable-mouse.html If you're on the fence: general consensus is it's more Dishonored and is a good proper sequel to the first game. Bad news is that the controls are a little buggy and the performance can suck on PC right now. Asbury fucked around with this message at 22:43 on Nov 13, 2016 |

Resource posted:I'm back again, as a level designer on Dishonored 2. I hope you guys like it! Well, I can't not ask you some questions, but if it isn't cool to answer them, I understand. What had a greater impact on the level design - new culture/architecture of Karnaca, or the new array of powers?(edit: lol - the black husserl beat me to this one) When you design a re-visited level (I'm thinking of Clavering Boulevard), what do you think is the best way to maintain player interest? At least for me, there's always a "I already saw this" feeling when I go somewhere I've already been - Prague in Mankind Divided is the latest example - and it has to be hard to keep an old level fresh. Any approach you favor in particular? I noticed that the levels in the first Dishonored each come with a different color palette to set the tone (eg oranges and reds in the Hounds Pits Pub and Greaves Whaling; washed out browns and dark greens in the Flooded District; the garish and creepy white in Brigmore Manor). Is there a particular palette for Karnaca? Incidentally, that cover of Gold Dust Woman I linked in the OP is loving incredible. Asbury fucked around with this message at 03:06 on Sep 22, 2016 |

Inspector Gesicht posted:Eh, I don't see why they felt the need to recycle a villain whom players have already killed/banished. It's like Darth Vader showing up in Episode 8 alive and still hating the Jedi. I waffled a while on this when I first heard about it. in the end I figured it'll all depend on how they use her, but really, villains weren't the first game's strong suit. Burrows and the rest weren't much more than caricatures. The only antagonist in the first game with any kind of real depth was Daud.

Coolguye posted:it's basically a Mostly Flesh and Steel run++. Mostly Flesh and Steel can be really fun if you're of a certain mindset, but i don't think the reason so few people have the achievement on Dishonored 1 is because it's hard (it's really not). I remember MF&S being about as close to a Thief: TDP/TMA experience as there is these days, and enjoyed the hell out of it. I'm definitely looking forward to going powerless.

Zephro posted:Do we have any official news on system requirements yet? Random internet sites say a GF 570 as the Recommended, but that seems way low for a 2016 game. It might be low, but I don't think it's impossible. The first game had some relatively low system requirements for it's time, if I remember right. It got a lot of mileage out of the "oil painting" art design.

fwiw, with an AMD FX6300, a 970, 8 gigs, and an SSD, the only bad load time I have is when I open the game. Otherwise it's running fantastic. I love the idea of going a lethal but not high chaos run with Emily for the first playthrough, then a ghost no-kill run as Corvo. I just wanna be sneaky again and hear Stephen Russell be a smug prick. Edit: Early game Emily-side question, spoilered: Can you escape Dunwall without killing the guy before you leave the tower? My game wouldn't let me open the door until I killed him (I choked him out earlier). Does that ruin a non-lethal run? Asbury fucked around with this message at 06:42 on Nov 11, 2016 |

Khagan posted:I think you need to use the rewire tool for that. Emily's my "novice assassin but decent person" first run - playing it without quickloading after my fuckups. I'm saving my no-kill no-power ghost for my Thief run. Incidentally: I'm so, so happy that Arkane made the spiritual successor to Thief and that it was successful enough for a franchise. When Looking Glass went under I remember feeling a gut punch. Now I have something that - and I'll admit it - is probably what LG would've made had they kept on. Resource, I don't know if this is dumb or what, but can you tell everyone on the team they did a loving great job?

Been experimenting with some settings. Might just be me, but it seems like the higher I increase my FOV, the better framerate I get. It was garbage at 85 but fluid at 115.

foozwak posted:Can anyone explain to me just what on earth does the "adaptive resolution" setting actually do? I can't find any explanation through some quick googling. It seems like it lowers the resolution on things similar to the resolution scale in something like Dragon Age Inquisition (edit: or shadow of mordor), but it only affects the more distant things. The lower the slider the blocker things are, at least in my experience. I may be entirely wrong. incidentally, these bloodflies remind me a lot of cazadores and it's serious ptsd right now Asbury fucked around with this message at 03:58 on Nov 12, 2016 |

Blind Rasputin posted:So is this game good for purchase on the xbone? I loved the first one and the DLCs. The thread seems so far to be sort of mixed on the game. The only real problem with it is the performance, which is sure to be patched. Otherwise (and minus one or two minor quirks, like leaning being different), it's more Dishonored. If you liked the first one you'll like this one.

Really digging the "Panama Dunwall" feel of Karnaca. Feels exactly the way it should, like it's part of the Empire but different in a lot of minor ways because of the environment.

MinibarMatchman posted:it's definitely much much tougher to Ghost anything now compared to the first game. Putting the game on Hard makes it even more imperative to be stealthy as often as possible---- about two hits will kill you. haha yeah. Those first couple levels I mean to do as quietly as possible, thought no problem, ended up high chaos on both. This was on very hard, which I was able to Ghost and Clean Hands D1 and KnD/BW with fairly painlessly. Mostly it's about keeping much more distance than you're used to.

Lord Cyrahzax posted:Yeah, the world building in these games is fantastic. I just wish they could do more with the characters and plot Pretty much the same here. The story and the characters are super thin, and while I'd usually bitch about that sort of thing, I have so much fun just going on a tour of Dunwall/Karnaca (I take hundreds of screenshots for my desktop background, even the ugly areas are beautifully compelling) that I kinda give it a pass. The world feels cluttered and lived in and dirty and ducks the worst stereotypes of Victorian/steampunk/gaslamp fantasy and it's extremely my poo poo Asbury fucked around with this message at 20:39 on Nov 14, 2016 |

black.lion posted:Excitement Intensifies They balance out. Emily has some powers that are really great for stealth/non-lethal (Domino and Shadow Walk) but her blink analogue isn't stealthy at all until (if) you find the bonecharm that makes the travel invisible. Corvo's stuff is basically the same as it was in the first game. My runs are ending up backwards from the ones you want to do: my first game was with Emily and it was an amateur affair, trying to learn the quirks to the updated mechanics. Went well with the idea of her being new to this whole revenge thing - mostly non-lethal, but not exactly stealthy because I kept loving it up. I'm currently doing Corvo as my "old professional" run which is entirely non-lethal and mostly stealthy. Grinned ear to hear hearing Stephen Russell say "I never thought I'd be doing this again. Forgot how good it feels."

So I haven't picked up windblast yet and I probably won't get to it this run, but if I overheard the guards in the first mission correctly, can you really use windblast to overcharge a windmill that's hooked up to a wall of light and explode the wall? vvv Yes, with a set of upgrades to each power. Blink, for instance, now has this ability you can buy with a rune that lets you attack out of blink. Like, you blink into someone and give them the Duke Nukem mighty boot. And it's loving awesome.

Go ahead and disable it; the game's a little tricker without it but not impossible to play. The only thing I leave on is objective markers because I can disable them from the objectives screen (and sometimes I need them on when the sub-objectives are particularly minute). You can usually use the heart to guide you otherwise, since the bonecharms and runes tend to be placed for you to visit the important parts of a level anyway.

Olaf The Stout posted:I dunno, I beat dishonered 1 on the hardest difficulty with way less effort. With that game I felt like a true thief in the shadows, always spying and ready to make a move. In this game I feel like any movement, any move I'm going to get sighted immediately without warning or recourse. The AI is trickier to handle, no disagreement, and on hard/very hard you have to allow for extra detection distances. (It may just be me, but I also remember a pretty big jump in the AI between Very Hard D1 and Very Hard Knife of Dunwall/Brigmore witches.) Going for Ghost in D2 is more about avoidance and distraction than anything, and I managed mine without too many quickloads by abusing the gently caress out of blink and timestop (and, unfortunately, skipping a ton of content).
