Yeah, retarded devs are retarded. You basically get trough the whole game for the best ending by using just blink and nothing else. I don't think I upgraded or unlocked anything outside of blink. I also did not purchase any dlcs after that, since a retarded dev can't produce anything good.

don't know what you mean i killed 70% of the enemies and got the good ending

>>719914748
killing people and getting the more people killed chaos ending is the good ending for a character that loves killing people, althoughbeit.
>>
>>719914748
>best ending

According to who?
If you play as maniac the high chaos ending is the good ending, it's showing you you won with your playstyle.

Go be dumb somewhere else, no one is falling for your shitty bait.

They could've given more options for a non-lethal playstyle rather than simply spamming blink and that gay chokehold.

I'm more upset by the fact that canonically Corvo went the facifist route and used all the non-lethal methods to get rid of his targets. You got a cuck assassin that doesn't kill anyone in Dishonored 1. What kind of effeminate dickless faggot wrote this.

I got baited into playing this game. Was told it was le super good and deep. Was basically the last nail in the coffin for my faith in Imsims.

The unfortunate thing is that the sequel looks to have actually complex level design, but nobody is passionate enough about the game for me to put faith in their espousing of its strengths, not that anybody even seems to describe its strengths in an cogent way.

So I have no reason to assume its any better than the first game.

I have some general thoughts about stealth and imsims that I would love to talk indepth about. But I already wrote an essay post about this and it was ignored for the most superficial response ever.

Theres really and truly no point in ever wasting time or effort on this board. Its just so frustrating that I always want to.

>>719913417
Yeah they should've added a humanoid enemy type that you can kill without raising chaos, maybe something similar to the undead from Thief.
>>
>>719915164
Corvo canonically has killed people, he even kills some of Delilah's bodyguards at the start of 2. He definitely is not a pacifist
>>
>>719914748
>pure stealth no kill is the canon
they never said this
>>
>>719914748
>solid 80% of abilities are for killing
I look at them as cheating... but don't mean it the wrong way
maybe I feel like playing Dishonored, get halfway through, get bored (let's be honest High Overseer Campbell, House of Pleasure, & The Royal Physician are the only good levels), and then resort to killing everybody because it takes me an hour to finish the game instead of three
>>719915087
true

Pacifist saint playthrough felt good, although the second game gives you a couple more options of non-lethal takedowns
>>
>>719913417
metal gear has been disastrous for the stealth genre
>>
Its a tradition for stealth games. Metal gear and Splinter Cell punished you for killing by giving you a poor rank at the end.
>>
>>719915087
Possession and time stop are both useful for stealth. Jump height is also helpful but is partially redundant with blink.
>>
If you kill your enemies then they win.

You don't kill that many people, especially if you only go after objective scum. Leaving your assassination targets alive should be the main factor.

It's been a long time since I played it but I remember some... brothers or something that if you choose not to kill, they get their tongues cut out and sent to the mines or some shit like that, a fate much worse than death desu

As someone who went through the entire game slaughtering everyone with the dust/ash ability, just to receive fucking Ghost of all things after every mission, the High Chaotic ending that I got was because I killed a certain amount every level, you can get the good ending by slaughtering a few here and there, including the targets.

Yeah a pair of brothers get sent to their own mines to be worked to death with nobody knowing who they are. IIRC the revolutionaries take over their assets.

Bringing the empire back after both coup attempts sounds based, and the game was fun so I like it. At least the first one.
The second one had nice aesthetics and Corvo looked good, but idk much else.
>>
>>719913417
>implying I feel guilty about pretend murdering a bunch of polygons acting like assholes enough to feel bad about being "punished"
They framed me for murder, kidnapped my adopted daughter, and installed a brutal police state. Why the hell should I show mercy to anyone?
>>
>>719913417
thing is, you can kill quite a bit before you get the bad ending. you just can't kill everything that moves. besides, if you think about it, being a deranged killer would take a lot of effort, and it's much more efficient to get in, find your target, kill them, and get out without raising a hair of suspicion.

with some small exception, the powers are minor boons that don't really make you superhuman, they just give you a small advantage over a group of people, so you can slaughter a group if you want or at the very least get away from foes.
>>
>>719923134

It's only a punishment if there is an in-game penalty that affects gameplay, a rinky dink slide that I won't even read or listen to at the end of the game doesn't amount to dick shit and therefore I got away with it scot free

Only played AC up to Syndicate but you can complete most of them killing only targets. I guess only BF and Rogue are different, because of the ship battles.

I'm pretty sure that in AC and AC2 you are demanded to kill people (those are the only two games I finished, the rest got me angry at one point or another and decided not to waste my time)
