Finished Dishonored today on Very Hard, with no powers beyond basic blink, without being seen, while not killing anyone. Super fun, but all the toys for taking bloody revenge were tainting me the whole time.
Immediately started a second run for full chaos!
Anyone else gearing up for Dishonored 2 this Thursday/Friday?
On a side BitD note: The Fugue Feast, mentioned in a book in Lady Emily’s room, seems like a cool place to start a season of Blades. Time outside the calendar. Debauchery and revelry.
The Fugue Feast also seems like a Purge night with more of a city wide party tone.
*taunting…tainting sounds…eh
I think I made a mistake going for a ghost run on my first play, as replaying at high chaos just seems like such a step back.
Dishonored two out soon!
Benjamin Davis nah. The way the game changes makes it fun either way. I played it way back when it came out and went full chaos then. It is fun either way.
I did full chaos my first run through. Mostly because I couldn’t stealth for crap lol. Just opted for killing everyone. Was really sad when Callista died. Right now I’m going for low chaos no kill mode. Trying to play for ghost, but I’m not sure if I got ghost on Coldridge prison and I don’t feel like going back for it so I’ll find out after I finish lol.
Ghost is fairly easy to get. If I hadn’t been doing Mostly Flesh and Steel (no upgraded powers, only regular blink) at the same time, and Clean Hands, I imagine it would have been much easier. On the upside I had no issues skipping most of each level because money was worthless to me pretty quickly.
Full chaos the first time is the way to go. Otherwise there isn’t much to spend all your runes on, or even gold. I kinda hope there are some more non-lethal stealthy options in the next game. It would also be nice to replace the sword with a blackjack but I doubt that’s gonna be an option.
It’s counting down as I type…
Christopher Bedford As I understand it, the hardest part about getting ghost is that you have to avoid the two guards on the Coldridge Prison after you blow open the door. Problem is that you never know if you did or not because the game always triggers their attention when you hit the water. So then because I skipped through the end score, I honestly have no idea if I got it lol
If you hide in the dog kennel and run out as soon as the bomb blows, you will hit the water before they spot you. If the wavy lines above their head are white you’re golden! I don’t think that’s ever not worked for me. I’ve tried for Ghost many times and got bored. Mostly because I had tons of new games to play. Now that I’m not spending so much money on games, I have been really diving into the few I have. Haha.
As for Dishonored 2, it’s out, and it’s magnificent!
