Dishonored and DLCs (XXX Logen reveals all)

[Vodner]

I loved the gameplay and setting of Dishonored, but the writing was pretty cringeworthy throughout the entire game. Is this improved at all in the DLCs?

[Xant]

Xant, you might wanna add a SPOILER ALERT to the topic title :3

I haven't finished the main story completely yet and skipped reading the thread pretty early. Just saying...

Well I was trying to be somewhat vague, but Logen ruined it ALL.  The turn of events really is very predictable though. Bad writing, like Vodner says. Writing's been better in the DLCs so far, but haven't gotten the chance to play too much yet.

I had this weird feeling playing Dishonored that all the achievements and optional stuff was so important to do it detracted me from playing the way I wanted. I also don't seem to react too well when there are many ways to solve a problem and choosing one of them is arbitrary before you commit to that choice.

Really enjoyed the game without dlc's played it all the way trough without killing or alerting anyone, dlc's I'll probably go on a rampage, just looking for good deals on steam/gmg/amazon, don't inted to pay 20 euros for dlc.

Never played this game, I'm going to have to give it a playthrough.  Would you suggest I play it first without DLCs?

[Xant]

Better to play the main story line first, yes, because the DLCs run parallel to it. So you'll get all the references to your actions.

[Logen]

Yes, sorry Benkei. I was trying to be as vague as Xant was, but just could not handle it.

Ok, I pirated it and surprisingly enough Xant was actually right, dlc is somewhat better

[Xant]

Which makes it very good indeed.

[Logen]

Indeed. I believe so.

I forgot how nice and fluid moving around and climbing feels in this game. One of the most enjoyable aspects for me.

[Xant]

Yeah, all the animations are really, really smooth. Also, just finished Knife of Dunwall. Now onto the other DLC.

[Prpavi]

How long is the playtime for KoD? 

[Xant]

Depends on your playstyle. Took me about five hours I think, some review said it took them six hours.

[Xant]

Brigmore Witches is better than Knife of Dunwall, so far.

[Prpavi]

ok so about extra 10 hours of game with these 2 DLC's not bad. I'm guessing you're not going to play trials or whatever it's called, not a real story DLC if I understood well.

[Xant]

Finished Brigmore Witches. Great DLCs. Way better writing than the main game.
