And the definitive edition is literally the same game in every way. Same resolution, textures, framerate, and bugs lmao.

Been meaning to play this for forever. It's so weird too, because I love playing assassin characters in games and somehow I've never played Dishonored or Assassin's Creed.

I had to lower my refresh rate to 60 because the game is inexplicably capped at 130 and so v sync or uncapped at 144hz looks like dookie

That's how all of those Thief/Deus Ex type games feel like to me. Not a bad thing but they all feel very dated.

i played partway through the game back when it released, as a lethal assassin. I got a bit pissed when partway through the game it started deteriorating the world due to all the "corpses" i left behind, even though I previously made sure that each and every corpse was devoured by rats etc
i was perhaps a bit too unreasonably angry but my immersion was broken and i stopped playing

i think if i played the game again i'd probably enjoy it

Were you discovered? Were your actions loud? Because you only get that if you go high chaos.

So you're saying that you were feeding the rats.

The rats that carry the rat plague.

The rat plague that's the cause of most of the issues in the city.

And you're complaining that it was immersion breaking that it caused the city to get worse.

I've seen people complain about the chaos thing, but I'm pretty sure it's just adaptive difficulty. I imagine it's much easier to go big and murder everyone, so the game makes the levels a bit more difficult to compensate.

I enjoyed Dishonored. Just felt that the stealth/non-lethal path was a bit dull.

Like, you get all these fun toys like the razortraps but you're not allowed to use them because they're lethal.

it was the magic rats you use magic to summon and then they disappear when you stop using magic

You're still pulling them from somewhere.

It also just makes sense that if guards keep mysteriously going missing, the city is going to start posting more guards.

i liked how they kept adding guards etc. ive got no issues with that

my issues were strictly the rats, zombies etc and the general atmosphere/cosmetic changes of the town

i thought the rats came from and returned to the void

Yea seems to me like you didnt pay attention yo the story. What did you think feeding the cause of the plague was going to do? The games promo material even mentions the chaos system.

step 1: summon rats from nowhere

i dont remember
but if they were summoned they would have been unsummoned?

even if they wernt, past me believed they were and therefore got upset at the consequences

reading the wiki, you can only have 1 swarm out at a time so when you use the spell twice the other rats must teleport or vanish

Why would you think he summoned them from no where? They made a big thing about the chaos system and killing = bad. Your immersion was broken by you not paying attention lol. IIRC the rats just run off.

The idea is the chaos you caused made people get more violent and dangerous

Even if you get rid of the corpses you made, people still got scared, made their own corpses and spread the plague.

They did recognize that was a problem pretty quickly, since the first DLC for Dishonored did introduce a couple more non-lethal options. And then Dishonored 2 improved non-lethal play drastically.
