Dishonored Series Thread V1: "Take Back What's Yours" - Games

Were there any good "side" characters? Granny from the first game was awesome

Up until I got into the Clockwork Mansion, I would've said that Boyle's Last Party was my favorite level in this series. Holy fucking shit, the first 10 minutes of this mansion are mind blowing.

Holy fucking shit, the first 10 minutes of this mansion are mind blowing.[/QUOTE] [sp]Considering there's an achievement for killing Jindosh undetected, I'm really excited to go back through like that.[/sp] [sp]Be wary though, you can get yourself stuck.[/sp]

I found that achievement a bit unfair to be honest, the only way to do it is with [sp]possession or upgraded shadowform, and you have to be quick with possession since you either need to get the guard or the rats before they disperse[/sp].

So for a non lethal run is corvo or emily better?

[QUOTE=General;51440438]So for a non lethal run is corvo or emily better?[/QUOTE] I'd say emily, since domino is pretty useful if you wanna hug 4 people at same time.

I even pulled it off on my No Powers run. The main trick about that place and that achievement is knowing when to haul ass and knowing to sit as still as possible for a couple minutes and wait for the perfect moment.

Then again Corvo has nearly unlimited potential with Time Stop.

Jindosh will claim to know you're there if you pull a second lever but he's actually lying, I made my way all the way through and killed him and got the achievement.[/sp]

You only have to directly take out maybe 2 guards. I only had to deal with one Clockwork and that was in Jindosh's lab, the other one was still deactivated.[/sp]

Does being spotted matter if you're doing a non lethal run?

I can only see you getting through it by possessing a Rat or the Guard that patrols that area.[/sp] [QUOTE=BadderSanta;51440847][sp]You can actually just not pull the lever, crossbow the upper atrium, and go through the entire level undetected.

[QUOTE=General;51440866]Does being spotted matter if you're doing a non lethal run?[/QUOTE] Not in this game! You can do some pretty nifty stuff with non-lethal open combat, which is a really solid change. You'll miss out on the Ghost achievement, but that's about it.

Barely had to pull any levers, which makes me think it can be done without doing so.[/sp]

Has there been a performance patch/news of an upcoming performance patch yet?

Wow, going from 780 SLI to 1070 makes the game run like butter now. Higher frames, no stuttering. I'm in love!

Two important gameplay questions: 1) Does killing the feral hounds count as killing someone or can I murder them without fear of getting my hands dirty? 2) Should you choose to refuse powers at the beginning of the game, can you still purchase upgrades for your characters (like the one increasing your health, the one that gives you the bloodlust effect and the kind?)

[QUOTE=Episode;51443614]Wow, going from 780 SLI to 1070 makes the game run like butter now. Higher frames, no stuttering. I'm in love![/QUOTE] What CPU do you have? I just upgraded to a 1070 too, but my i5 4670 is bottlenecking my system in most games.

[QUOTE=Robber;51444259]What CPU do you have? I just upgraded to a 1070 too, but my i5 4670 is bottlenecking my system in most games.[/QUOTE] Running a i5 2500k at 4.5ghz

[QUOTE=Episode;51443614]Wow, going from 780 SLI to 1070 makes the game run like butter now. Higher frames, no stuttering. I'm in love![/QUOTE] I read that 1070 was more of a sidegrade from 780? Maybe I should pick one up now. I thought about overclocking my system to pump out some extra frames but every time I see "may cause damage" it makes me nervous. I am water cooled though. Should ask around hardware section more. I'll probably start the game over at my next chance to play. Fresh perspective after some fixes.

I haven't OC'd yet cuz i'm lazy and it takes time.

Btw, that fucking witch shout shit is OP as fuck. Makes the [sp]Delilah fight[/sp] without HP pots almost impossible.

[QUOTE=Episode;51446254]Btw, that fucking witch shout shit is OP as fuck. Makes the [sp]Delilah fight[/sp] without HP pots almost impossible.[/QUOTE] [sp]If you turn to the right upon entering the painting you can go in this little corner and climb up it and the real Delilah is at the very top channeling her replicas. You can sneak up behind her and go for an easy kill/knockout.[/sp]

I just trapped four Witches and two dogs in a room with a headless Clockwork Soldier. Only the Clanker walked out.

The neutral path for the Crow Killer was a no brainer to me and I picked it up the second I put two and two together and started making preparation for it. I'm really enjoying playing Dishonored 2, with my only regret being I'm so fixated on not being detected and not kill anyone that I'm constantly leaving behind collectables unless they happen to be on my face (to be fair, though, it's not like I need to unlock all those fancy powers and their upgrades: I don't want to sound like bragging, but I think I can get both Ghost and Clean Hands by using only the Blink power, or whatever it's called on Emily)

If you want real challenge do a ghost non-lethal run with no powers.

Another beta patch just went live: [url]http://steamcommunity.com/games/403640/announcements/detail/585862112210538980[/url] [quote]Update v 1.3 overview: General performance and optimization improvements Added a setting to turn OFF Camera Motion Blur Additional mouse improvements Fixed various issues related to user interface Fixed various issues related to the Option menu Fixed various issues related to multiple monitors[/quote]

[QUOTE=spekter;51451417]Blink was/still is the most useful power in the game I don't think anyone is debating that. If you want real challenge do a ghost non-lethal run with no powers.[/QUOTE] Better yet, don't incapacitate anybody unless the mission requires it.
