Dishonored

i was more referring to doing it right next to the psychopath that killed over half the city without remorse

Did you know that "corvo" means "raven"?

Either he secretly had a death wish after everything that's happened up to that point, or he thought that Corvo would hesitate since they're companions. Either way, he dies in the high chaos ending, right? So I'm gonna guess it's the first one.

woah, that’s some deep writing...

Yeah I learnt that when I saw Night of the Raven (add-on to Gothic2) in that language. It might be Spanish but I'm not sure.

I always thought it meant "crow". Intersting. You've motivated me to finally look into the distinction between the two species.

fukken ebin bro, did you know that ezio means eagle in italian, or altair means eagle in arabic, or that sokolov means the hawk in russian

mind fukken blown

Yes, i snus Corvus

Corvus is a whole genus. Got a book on them, I like them a lot

Corvus is the whole genus but the Latin word itself means "raven" and not "crow", apparently.
Any recommendations for a book? I'm particularly intersted in cognitive abilities, social interactions and pictures of the birbs.

>whole city is in shambles and you helped the guy that made it worse
i would be suicidal too

I just checked and in google translate it suggests Italian when I type in "corvo" and it gives "crow" but doesn't give "raven". I don't know whether the Night of the Raven was mistranslated, or the word can mean both, or maybe means "raven" in language other than Italian.

maybe you be interested in this

my family had a crow they trained like a dog, it could bark and used to hop around under the house with the dogs when they got a rabbit

Also Corvo is a name of an island on Atlantic Ocean belonging to Portugal and Vila de Corvo is a name of a Portuguese city, probably on that island.

Translation of "corvo" from Portuguese into English gives both "crow" and "raven" as a result

i think we just call them the same (italian here), that's why it translates Corvo to crow. Didn't even know ravens and crows were different animals

>ezio means eagle in italian
the italian word for eagle is "aquila", ezio comes from "aietos" which is eagle in greek.

High Chaos in Dishonored 2 as the Empress was extremely satisfying. It felt good basically going on a one (wo)man rampage and slaughtering every traitor in your path regardless if they put up a fight or not. Also murdering the black lady after finding out she was also a traitor was also very satisfying.

There's something about Dishonored that makes killing feel so good.

The first game was ok, but with some detracting factors
2nd was a notable improvement. Had a lot of fun with it.

Whenever I think about the setting, I get claustrophobic about how tiny it feels.

I've always heard that 2 was worse. I'm about to start it for the first time

i killed him

you monster

I just got done beating Dishonored 2 like 30 minutes ago and suddenly I'm greeted with a Dishonored thread? What the fuck?

I played as Corvo and got the Low Chaos ending. Time slow is absolutely fucking busted when combined with high movement speed. I was pretty much running past most things near the end of the game. It's overall a solid improvement over the 1st game, but I just wish there was a mansion party mission like the first game.

2 is better gameplay, worse story.

1st one at times felt flat at times: striders and overall designs from HL2, barnacles from HL2, ever so popular zombies etc. You were actively punished for playing low chaos. The setting was interesting, but you were confined to one city.

2nd one is an improvement: now you can non-lethally dispatch enemies with bare hands even in open combat. Setting is more diverse. Maybe it's just me, but I prefer second game a lot more.
>I've always heard that 2 was worse
Some of that maybe due to alleged severity of bugs and poor performance on release. That's what stopped me from playing it back then, and my 1st play through was far later with all available patches. I was surprised how well my Athlon x4 840 + GTX 750 handled it

Thanks. Looking forward to it, then.

is my pacifist ghost playthrough of Dishonored 2 still valid if I used time stop?

Yes. I don't see why it wouldn't count.

Dishonored 2 is at least an improvement in that regard by letting you do a full no powers playthrough

>I just wish there was a mansion party mission like the first game
I don't see why people like that level so much. You just steal literally everything in plain sight of guards and guests, grab the hint from the bedroom, quickly fuck over the correct host, and bail like you were never there. Lethal with shadow kill makes it even easier.

Corax means Raven
Corvo means Crow

Hiding in plain sight missions are thematically cool. It's why Hitman feels so satisfying too.

An improvement in that regard would be removing the possibility and the achievement, then actually designing the levels in a way that considers powers a tool and not a cheat.

>An improvement in that regard would be removing the possibility and the achievement
then why talk about the achievement in the first place?

corvo high chaos in 2 was a ride

What language?

What part in 1 actually requires blink? Don't remember if there was any one section where it was needed

Corvo quit being an edgelord and get the fuck out of my boat

I did have to adjust it before it felt right.

The water lock maybe? Or the impromptu jail cell in the flooded district, can’t remember

If I'm playing high chaos, it's a fucking breeze to waltz through guards and murder everyone. The game is only 'hard' if you want to not be a murdermachine.

Corax is ancient greek for raven

Corvo is portuguese for crow.
In spanish, it is cuervo.

the same one.

are you telling me Jose cuervo is just Joe crow?

I'm never calling it anything else

That's what happens when you get given fuckoff superpowers suited to murder in a setting that's just mastered crude electricity and gunpowder

anyone else thought this was a neat time travel concept?

Yes, but it's also annoying because so many of the powers exist to just not be used. I get it, you're meant to be tempted to use them and get the bad ending if you do but it's really tiring, especially when you're playing Daud later.

Enjoy having too many enemies to make stealth fun. Also the world is just Dunwall 2.0 in the sun, the bloodflies are just rats but different.

They got far too up their own ass with the story and levels as well. Nobody can look at me and say the clockwork mansion was actually fun to play. Sure, it was impressive. But it wasn't fun.

Neat idea, poor execution

>not getting Ghost between the Cogs on your first playthrough
Plays just like a regular level, and you can take a shit on the supposed mad scientist, as he fails to ever detect your presence.

do all the levels after Dunwall run like shit in dishonored 2

Never had a single problem with my old 980ti.Mist of complaints came from toaster owners.

I have a 1080 bro, the game clutters a million objects offscreen to melt cpus

I played in on 560 Ti with i5 2500k and it ran smooth like butter.

It's got better gameplay imo, but the presentation is a complete mood killer. Retreading 1's plot with Corvo, Emily, Billie and Delilah is the stupidest decision they could have made, every single line of your MC is pointless posturing trite, you have zero attachment to the ship, the Outsider was mangled in personality, voice, and lore, the overseers feel like an afterthought that are barely even in the game, and its got anticlimactic levels in a game with only a handful of levels to its name (the Crown Killer staying in the wing where you find him once instead of chasing you and being a complete pushover is the definition of blue balling).
Also the Emily/Delilah/Kaldwin/Corvo quartet is just... dull by all angles. Billie too.

Crows and all related species are called corvids or Corvidae in biology, it's Latin.

I think what sums up the problem with Dishonored 2 is the way they straight up explain things that were mysteries in the first

>1. Could the heart be the heart of the empress?
>2. Yes
>1. Could Emily be Corvo's daughter?
>2. Yes
>1. Who is the Outsider? Where did he come from?
>2. He's just some guy

Everything was so plain and basic.

The Hound Pits club was so much better than the ship. Jesus fuck who thought that was a good idea?
>1
Weirdly loyal Manservant, Aristocrat & Admiral conspirators, a couple of common folks, kid Emily, Samuel, Best Bros
>2

the whole of dishonored 2 story felt like a bad fan fiction

Were the original writers still on board? I don't remember.

>The Hound Pits club was so much better than the ship
No, it wasn't, fuck that waste of time. And especially fuck looking for NPCs in random places with no proper directions given because the game expects you to use quest markers. And fuck Piero for being nothing more than a vending machine except for when the story sends you to buy wine from him.
Hate that fucking place.

Two of the 3 original writers were on board while the new writer is a woman who works with the Mass Effect Andromeda team on Star Wars games

Are ex-Bioware employees a literal cancer in the industry? Every time something goes to shit it seems some ex-Bioware employee is involved.

it was implied that he got sick with the plague. he would've died happy knowing he fucked you over in the end

well tbf she never worked for BioWare, she simply became the lead of the studio that incorporated BioWare into itself. Still weird that she became the lead writer for Dishonored 2 when her only other credit was for Styx: Master of Shadows

Yeah. They had all the people but didn't know what to do with them.

>Styx: Master of Shadows
This is probably why they gave her the position. Same goes with why they got Stephen Russell to voice Corvo. They wanted the Thief audience.

>Nobody can look at me and say the clockwork mansion was actually fun to play.
Yeah it was one of the best levels in the entire franchise. And actual when we're at it, Dishonored UNO have very few good levels, with the Overseers Abbey being the best one, the rest of the levels just seem like a downgrade in compression. Meanwhile, almost all Dishonored 2 levels are great, aside from Dunwall ones.

Christ, Corvo's lines are such a fucking joke.

first 2 had huge hints in the first game.

Two is at least as good, probably better.
Death of the Outsider is the only one that's really shit. Felt like a complete ripoff for the amount of content that's there.
- Tiny tutorial level
- Re-uses half a D2 level
- One great new level
- One level that re-uses half of the great new level
- One annoying as hell final level
For 40 bucks.
Plus it crashed constantly on the PC for me.

Dishonored 2 gets a bad rap because of the poor release but stuff like this was really neat

1 had better atmosphere, 2 was unoptimized as shit on launch, its better now though

>kill daud in D1
>forced to play him in KoD
Arkane were cunts from the start.

I think low chaos, pacifist is always canon

True, canonically I think even if corvo played clean hands he would kill daud given the chance

Killing your targets but pacifist for everyone else is the best way to play

if you spare him he dies in the ending slideshow of a storm at sea.
if you shoot him he's likely to fall in the water where a bunch of piranha won't leave anything of his body. And the hilarious part about killing him is that in the ending slideshow, Corvo is next to his tomb looking all sad, despite him being the only one who could have killed him at any point.

KoD takes place before you kill Daud though.

Nah. Given the options for non-lethal-but-poetic comeuppance resorts for targets it stands to reason Daud would end up getting one as well, maybe something like him being kept in a state of perpetual blink where he's effectively an intangible ghost for all eternity.

Don't remind me of Brigmore Witches, that's where the franchise took a deep dive into shite.

I liked Delilah in Brigmore Witches, but bringing her back as the main antagonist in 2 was retarded. She had her fate worse than death handed to her, and they instead turned it into a power-up that ruined the character of the Outsider.

Giving her the exact same non lethal execution in 2 as BW was just poor writing
>she escaped once, so surely she won't do it again

Enemies and locations in BW were absolutely awful.

Eliminating you targets non lethally then killing them anyway is the best way to play

Why did they change the outsiders voice in Dishonored 2?

>kill him while he's getting away on the boat
>in the ending corvo is standing sad next to his tomb

Very low, the game has great scaleability.

JUST

You didn't pay attention did you?

stfu

The worst of those 3 is explaining what the Outsider was, really killed any further interest in the series for me.

Guess thats a yes.

Man Arkane are such a great studio.
Almost every game they have developed have been fantastic, the only one I wouldn't say is that good is Dark Messiah. It's fun but it's not on the same level as pretty much everything else they have made.

*shoots gun in the air to alert the guards*

heh nothing personnel kid

Dark Messiah was the only great game they made tho, every other was flawed in one way or another.

Why are all female protagonists gay now?

Damn it, I want more Dishonored games... I know some people didn't like the second one but I thought it was great(same for the DLC). Karnaca was comfy af and I crave for more stealth-like games in that setting.

I thought it was fine, ran like shit on my pc for some reason though and this was like a year after it came out.
Death Of The Outsider killed the franchise, because the retards making this stuff though t that black retard in 1's DLC and 2 the main character was a genius idea

Maybe we'll ever see the pandyssian continent in a future dishonored game. I don't know, I just hope that'll be the case.

I don't pay much attention to the story and never liked the idea of the outsider anyway, it's all the shit in between the story moments that's so good. The world is immersive af and the gameplay feels very sandboxy'ish... last time I had feels like this for a game was Thief 1 & 2 and System Shock 2.

Played the first game on hard and got the ghost and no kills cheevos. Pretty good game, wasn‘t there an announcement of the head devs forming a new studio?

The waterlock on your way to the regent is blink-mandatory, unless you do some weird grenade/springrazor hops that don't work on purpose.

I don't think it was ever a mystery that the heart was Jessamine's, and Emily "Daddy" drawing removed pretty much all doubt.

They did the outsider dirty though, especially in DotO

>>gender not specified
But I thought he was male in the books.

Emily and Corvo should just kill all the backstabbing traitors in their government. She has the most unloyal followers ever

Gay female is easier for being progressive than gay male, not as many people have problems with them as they do gay dudes.

is dishonored more kino played high or low chaos?

I didn't figure out the most efficient way to non-lethally disptach enemies in combat until the final fight, and by accident. Just jump on them from even a slight elevation and you slam their heads into the ground.

The 2 spacial frame non-euclidean setting of this mission gave me a boner

You kidding? The pub was fantastic.

There's not gonna be a future game, they boxed it after 2 and death of the outsider bombed

The thing about gay dudes is that they're dudes and that's not okay, sweetie.

I can imagine Bethesda reusing Dishonored name for some other studio like they did with Prey. That would be poetic.

Beat the game twice.
1. Low chaos, slow, delibarate, learn the ropes, reload when you fuck up. Kill 1-2 guards on the sides the whole playthrough, no more than 4.
2. Play it again while familiar with the mechanics. Kill anything that moves.

Emily was a shitty Empress so she deserved it

Never played 2, wut?
Daud already majorly regrets his decision to kill the empress. If you're doing Low Chaos he fights you 1v1 for that reason, he feels he fucked up and he should be the one punished for it.

I thought DotO had mostly great levels. The Bank Heist in particular was brilliant and one of my favourites of the franchise.
>One annoying as hell final level
Is a fucking understatement. The game turns into a dungeon crawler and the story takes a nosedive along with it. The golems are interesting at first and then you just deal with their patrol patterns like any other enemy.

Of course, the worst sin is that they dropped the ball hard with the Outsider, like other anons have mentioned. With one small DLC-sized game, my enthusiasm for uncovering more about the world of Dishonored has been executed. Unlike others, I thought that Billy was an interesting protagonist, but that doesn't excuse how they handled Daud, Outsider, the cult and pretty much everything else.

>my enthusiasm for uncovering more about the world of Dishonored has been executed
What world? We've already visited representative slices of half the Isles.

Don't be coy, you ignored Morley as an optino just because it really isn't one, who the fuck wants to go to Dublin when were in London just a couple of years ago.
But yeah, if Arkane ever dose Pandyssia, I'll likely follow. Prey was cash.

Your mom was fantastic.
I just explained why exactly it was shit.

Yeah but comfy.

nice pits

then play as corvo retard

Rescuing Emily felt good. Maybe even better in high chaos.
it's weak as hell that Corvo is her father, though.

The alternative is that everyone would call him a cuck for looking after someone else's kid, like Kiryu from Yakuza.

Game is great, but a bit too easy honestly, even on the hardest difficulty. On my last low chaos run I had to gimp myself by not using any of the spells otherwise the game is dummy proof. Still love it to death, wish I could play the sequel, but my pc is a shitbucket and can't run it due to crap optimisation that I will never forgive them. How can I run prey somewhat okay and not an older game? Fuck you french arkane dogs.

But literally no one calls Kiryu a cuck because of Haruka.

I think they were forced to use a shit engine for dishonored 2 and it gave them a hell of a time.
They either switched or got it under control for prey.

They did when he was looking after Haruka's kid in 6.

Also false. Too open, and your own room is empty as fuck.

>Corvo is next to his tomb looking all sad, despite him being the only one who could have killed him at any point.
corvo is sad his bro suddenly acted like a hysterical woman and he had to put him in place.

To be fair, you killing people directly causes the spread of the plague because of the bodies piling up.

Wasn't that Emily's?

How can you blame him for getting upset? If you go the genocide route, Corvo just becomes a killing machine. He couldn't accept or agree with Corvo's actions by that point in the game.

What fucking times of the day, they place key NPCs in some fucking random locations and tell you to go look for them without directions.
And Piero is an inventor, not just some merchant. Yet he rarely ever says anything of interest and doesn't seem to give a fuck about what you do at all. He's not even good at being a merchant, because you're forced to listen to a generic line every time you want to access the interface.

The pub was an absolute waste of time. The ship may not have been perfect, but it served its purpose better. Hell, even finding a way to get into that blocked off room was more entertaining than anything in the pub.

>sequel did everything better except for story and chaos mechanic
