Dishonored and DLCs (XXX Logen reveals all)

[Logen]

get a twitter

and since we already revealed EVERYTHING, did you finish it with low chaos or high?

[Xant]

KoD was with high chaos, but got the overall chaos to low by the end of Witches.

[Logen]

THE FISH HOW DO YOU FIGHT THE FISH

this is insulting, I am offended. having to run away from some fucking fish

[Xant]

you dont fuck with the fish man

closest I came to dying was to a fish too

[Logen]

I was surprised I ended up with low chaos, because I killed a lot of people. I even came back and blew up them evil fishes! Maybe the choices you make is what matters in the end.

[Xant]

Did you finish Brigmore Witches too or just KoD? The last level in Brigmore Witches looks pretty amazing, graphics-wise.

[Logen]

Brigmore Witches. I actually feel that level design was better in KoD, more verticality and places to explore.

But overall, these were exemplary DLCs.

[Xant]

It felt more like an expansion pack. Together they were almost as long as the main game, added animations and new powers and bone charms, etc.

And I dunno, they completely re-used a level from the main game in the third mission of KoD, which sort of brings down the level design part of KoD as a whole. The second mission of Brigmore was pretty open too. But dunno, I thought all of the levels were pretty good.

[Logen]

True, but still the 2nd leven in KoD was the most enjoyable for me.

I wonder what Arkane is up to now. They have what, 3 games on their list? Atleast I played only Arx Fatalis, Dark Messiah and this one, and all three of them are outstanding. Too bad they're under bethesda and zenimax now.

[Xant]

Dark Messiah was awesome, most fun combat ever in a RPG. All the fucking around with physics and spells and melee was great. And the graphics and boss fights were pretty damn impressive for the time too.

And I don't know if them being under Zenimax is bad, Dishonored was released two years after the acquisition and obviously it didn't stop them from making a great game. Hopefully they'll announce their next project soon.

It should be very interesting, especially since they've proven themselves now and should be able to dedicate all their time to the next project. Dishonored can't have had their full attention, because of their two cancelled projects before it.

[Logen]

Yeah, I just hope they dont get "corrupted" by the industry in its current state and continue to do their own thing, try out new ideas like they did in all of their games.

Meh, nothing to play now. Tried DXHR Director's Cut but just could not force myself to play it since I already know the story. And for some reason AI seems to be pretty stupid and suicidal. They have no sense of self-preservation whatsoever. But all these steath games have the same approach to AI and difficulty I guess, AI never sounds the alarm when they find a body, no, they have to go touch it first. Only to be killed on the same spot, ofcourse.
Did not notice that in my first playthrough. I guess its back to books again...

[Clockworkkiller]

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

im not supporting mute characters or anything, but i think the explanation for Corvos case is obvious....

1. he is a bodyguard...nothing more, nothing less, people have even called him a dog and such, in-game, his one goal in life was to simply serve the empress as her.....well, guard dog.......

2. the game was all about revenge, (its tagline was "revenge solves everything") imagine your corvo, the one thing you care for in life, the empress and her daughter, has just been taken from you. corvo is so blinded by revenge that he isnt thinking straight, and he is willing to serve anyone and do anything to get his revenge, even if it means blindly doing some guys bidding without question

with that said, id like to say that high chaos is the only way to go. a game advertised as being a "uber deadly assassin on a bloody revenge", it really doesnt make sense to go the "happy-go-lucky" low chaos route (AKA bitch route).....

[Logen]

1. he is a bodyguard...

Exactly. He's the goddamn Royal Protector. Suspicion and paranoia should be a large part of his nature.

[Clockworkkiller]

Exactly. He's the goddamn Royal Protector. Suspicion and paranoia should be a large part of his nature.

Read my 2nd point

[Logen]

I did. Your 2nd point basically says that Corvo is a retard, but we have established that already.
