Saturnine Tenshi Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 (edited) Oversight on their part, I'd hope. But that's all in the past now. It feels good to have that behind me. I'm so close to doing Emily justice. She's waiting for this one final trophy! I got to the point in the later levels where, after having beaten them so many times, I would just rush through with blink and bend time rank 2 like some temporal badass. Edit: The Dishonored Tumblr posted the remaining Sokolov paintings today. I think this is all or most of them: I wish there were one of Emily. She deserves a Sokolov painting.

Mr. GOH! Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 Going for low chaos, and I have a question: does killing or being spotted by weepers raise chaos? I'm used to zombies being consequence-free kills, but I'm not so sure in this game. I'm only on the second mission, so I haven't seen how the game counts up weeper kills. Killed my second guy saving an innocent from being mugged. When I'm out of sleep darts, I usually blink around and sneak up on enemies and give them the ol' sleeper hold. But when this dude lost track of me, he'd murder the innocent before hunting me down. Also: all the talk and pics of Emily really should be behind spoiler tags.

TheMightyEthan Posted October 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 Weeper kills count as enemy kills, I don't know if being spotted raises your chaos. Two of the pics Tenshi posted didn't work, and the forum says there are too many pictures when I try to fix it, so here they are: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturnine Tenshi Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 I'm not really certain how chaos is measured. A quick search yielded this PC Gamer article. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldorf and Statler Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 Goh: Weepers can spot you since if they see you the 3 lightning give-away symbol and music cue appears. And since you are given the option to either knock them out or kill them, killing them has consequences. aka don't get spotted or kill them if you're going for low chaos. Only creatures that don't matter if they spot you are rats, fish and mollusks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturnine Tenshi Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 Also keep in mind the lightning bolts don't count as being detected. It's only when they turn red and "break" that you've been spotted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. GOH! Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 Hmm. Well, I guess my playthrough will be of a Corvo who wants low kills and chaos, but who killed a few weepers back in mission 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldorf and Statler Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 Those Weepers are a constant reminder to Corvo of the toll this power struggle has caused. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. GOH! Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 My Corvo just thought he remembered reading in a moral philosophy treatise that zombies don't count. Or maybe it was his reading off all those zombie apocalypse penny dreadfuls as a kid. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waldorf and Statler Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Huh. I knew her attitude and drawings would be different from reading the wikia and watching videos, didn't realize it was THAT much different. A very nice story telling tool they had there to portray your choices, props to them. Hopefully the game sells well where the next title isn't so black and white.

TheMightyEthan Posted October 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Yeah, I was about to ask if there's a middle ground. "Medium chaos" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturnine Tenshi Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 I feel like there might have been. It seems my last wherein I just killed everything willy nilly (Mostly Man and Machine path) had more weepers than any of my other approaches.

Waldorf and Statler Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 man it seems to me that only big video games release their sale numbers. It'd be nice to know how many games they shipped out/sold to see if we'll ever see a sequel. If it's a new IP I'd say anywhere near half a million to a million it's ok. You can't expect people to buy your game when you bring it out in such a crowded time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Heart Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Nice to see one of the Dishonored devs continue retweeting inane crap but not the thoughtful article by Mr. Drake! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturnine Tenshi Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Haha. Thanks, HH. I plan on playing through the game again on PC for streaming purposes, and I think I might try doing one of these: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 http://www.destructo...s--239407.phtml So ignoring the fact that dishonored was on sale "on Steam, where Dishonored was listed as the #1 selling title over the holiday weekend." They've said it's selling better than expected and it's likely they've a new franshice. So expect to see more Dishonored..probably during next-gen I would guess. It's to be expected. Bethesda don't setlle on making individual games. Can't wait for Xmas to pick this up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldorf and Statler Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 Fucking awesome. I loved the game and it has many aspects it can improve on. Mainly story and the black/white nature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted November 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 Hopefully publishers will get the idea from this that maybe people like new things. Doubt it though. And I know that for every successful new IP like this there are a bunch that fail, but I feel like most of the ones that fail are pretty obviously not going to be good right from the start.

Waldorf and Statler Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 It really is up to consumers to pick up new IP's. Dishonored did decently well in a time-zone against mainly big named sequels. That's memorable and hopefully next time they'll release it NOT in the fall season. Summer or spring would be fantastic. It's like when Alan Wake was competing against Red Dead. One was a brand new IP and the other was arguably a brand new game as the first wasn't much to talk about.

deanb Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 Dishonred was also helped by a pretty big marketing campaign, along with the whole "From the makers of Skyrim, and the artist of HL2" thing, while going up against a bunch of sequels and buffeted by the winds of nostaligia that blow from yonder Kickstarter of late (it's a pretty Theif-ey vibed game). Steam sale won't have hurt either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldorf and Statler Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 Well of course those helped. In fact the game wouldn't have a stood a chance without relating it to Bethesda and Skyrim in one way or the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
