To me Dishonored is a really interesting game, it has an interesting enough Lore and Atmosphere and the game is built really well. My favorite thing about the game has got to be the availability of choices and how they actually effect the game. I'm sure everyone who's played it liked the way it gave you choices, I mean sure every mission essentially ends with lethal or non lethal but the paths you take, the choice of killing each guard, getting what loot and everything else is really exciting
So how do you like you play the game. Enraged Killer, Silent Assassin, maybe even the non lethal attempt.
Personally I'm a fan of not being seen and killing but only when I have to. Not only is it challenging to take down enemies without being seen, it en adds another level when you can't kill them as a back up. And hiding bodies (which is critical in some levels) can be quite fun and I always try and hide them in logical places (well logical beyond the game, enemies don't exactly check everywhere.).
I'm opening the discussion up a little bit. Now it's just a general Dishonored Discussion, talk about whatever you want, from Lore, to Combat even talk about each mission.
I know I have played the game just two times. First was pretty much to get hold of it, so I was going powers and killing everyone (I loved those fights).
My second playthrough was for three Achievements. Clean Hands (killing no one in the game) Mostly Flesh and Steel (no powers beside rank 1 blink) and Ghost (not killing anyone or being seen at all). That was really challenging - I mean insane challenging - but it was worth it! It turned the game into Thief style.
Also played Daud as a killing machine and then as non-violent nice guy
The first time I played it I did it "true assassin" style where I killed no one but the Targets, the second play through I cut a bloody swath through Dunwall and murdered everybody I came in to contact with and my last play through I ghosted it and never killed anyone.
Personally I liked ghosting it the most. Super challenging but it's just really fun thinking up tactics on how to get by everybody and also coming up with great escapes when you get spotted.
I personally played The Silent Assassin with a short temper, my first time playing. I would sneak and not be seen as much as I can but I see a easy kill I will take it. When I killed The High Overseer, I ran up cut his head off then hoofed it out.
But the Ninja ghosts play through is fun but I HAD to kill at least someone, I was fighting the itch the whole time.
