Dishonored and DLCs (XXX Logen reveals all)

[Xant]

Anyone played Knife of Dunwall/the Witches DLC? Just started KoD and damn, it's really good. I forgot how great Dishonored was. Reminds me of the good games of early 2000s.

[Vibe]

I recently pirated Dishonored because I heard great things about it and the game really is fun. Love the whole stealthy approach to it. Also are you guys playing non-lethal or lethal? For me it's lethal because it's fun stabbing peoples necks.

[Xant]

Lethal, because I also love the swordfighting in the game. Not the most challenging, but really fun (which is why I don't do it too much, mostly stealthing but sometimes fighting). Smooth animations, including the finishers. Don't break the rhytm of the combat at all.

Looks like they improved graphics in the Daud DLCs, and also added a few cool animations. Really loving it so far.

[Thovex]

I lost my Dishonored save, are the DLC like a standalone story or do I have to finish the story again or something to do em?

[Xant]

The DLCs are standalone. You play as Daud, and the storyline takes place parallel to the main story line. So yeah, standalone.

[Tibe]

Ofcourse the game is awesome. In many ways it resembles Thief. And Thief was spectacular.

[Logen]

Are these dlc's better than the main game?

[Xant]

Are these dlc's better than the main game?

So far? Yes, I think so. Especially because the main game's plot was so gay and predictable and you could do nothing but be the dog of the people you knew were going to fuck you over. And there are small improvements all around, like animations and graphics.

[Logen]

fuc u it was totaly unpredctable

actually I liked the explanation for why they did what they did. And the fact that they turned on each other afterwards.

[Christo]

fuc u it was totaly unpredctable

Nah, it was so obvious.

[Xant]

That was good, yeah, but what sucked was that you were this mute retard who walked straight into it without any suspicions or... Anything.

Also, only played the first mission of the dlc so far but it had a lot more ways to complete it than the main missions.

[Logen]

But it was totally unpredictable for the master assasin, former elite bodyguard Corvo 

That stupid tendency to make player character a silent retard always pissed me off

[Xant]

Oh yeah, the guy you play in dlcs speaks, so that's another improvement

[Christo]

Do they make this "silent retard" choice so that they don't have to personalize the player character that much, much less of a hassle?

I'd say having selectable dialog options work better, and you don't even need a voice actor for the player character to not break "immersion" that the hero represents the player

(yes i am aware that there are dialog options in Dishonored, but you don't really question anything, it's like, kill this person because reasons, do this because reasons. )

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...
