Harvey Smith confirmed that they'll likely continue working on Dishonored games, even if Death of the Outsider closes the 3-game chapter on the current narrative https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2XV-Gv7PU0 Expected them to move on but I can't say I'm disappointed. Here's to a fruitful game in the future without the goddamn Void engine.

That's the best possible news because Dishonored is great but the story possibilities of Corvo, Emily, Daud and Billie seem pretty squeezed out. Pretty ballsy to end it with killing off the Outsider - on the one hand it feels like we're losing a defining element of the Dishonored premise, on the other it says very clearly that if they make another one they're gonna think of something fresh.

Next Dishonored game is a Echo the Dolphin type game but you play as a void whale.

That assumes they'll suceed, don't have Daud become the new outsider, or similiar.

Whatever happens, there's always a new outsider-like figure eventually after one dies. This isn't the first and won't be the last.

Going by the previous novels, it turns out sending Delilah to her fantasy world was ultimately the best thing that happened to her and lead to a dramatic increase in her power, allowing her to come back and ruin the kingdom.

The non-lethal ending for Delilah was far too kind. Less evil people get shipped off to a life of slavery in a mine, handed over to their rapey admirer, or electroshocked into mental retardation. Delilah gets to live in her fantasy world forever. The best reaction you get out of her is by depowering her witch friend and then gloating about it. It's too bad Arkane didn't come out with seperate dialogue for depowering and then killing her.

The Void is what powers abilities, not the Outsider -- it's a vessel, if anything. Billie and Daud were decent assassins, but I'm not sure they can kill the astral plane.

Hopefully we kill the outsider only to discover he was protecting us from space squid all along, leaving Billie to take up the space whale mantle.

I've finally gotten around to this... is it just me or is this just not as fun as the first one? I can't quite put my finger on it, I'm in the clockwork manor and between the machine soldiers and the constant piped in bad guy every five seconds it's kinda killed my interest in it all. I loved the first one a lot, should I push on through? or is this a pretty good representation of the rest of the game?

Neither of the things you mentioned appear in the rest of the game (except the occasional clockwork soldier, but they're really easy to deal with - just snipe the head and then sneak past or jump assassinate them), so I guess not?

The next level is a much more traditional "large city area with a manor thing you have to infiltrate" level, if that helps.

Also the clockwork mansion and another level further in the game that plays with level design are easily the best and you have bad taste.

How can you not like the clockwork mansion  Also the gameplay is exactly the same as D1, if you liked that you should like D2, it's basically just more levels of the same thing

The clockwork mansion is one of the best levels in either of the games. It's also possible to complete it without Jindosh ever knowing you are there. The clockwork soldiers also become basically a non-threat or even helpful once you figure out one of the many ways to neutralize them.

Knife of Dunwall and the Brigmore Witches are two parts of the story-based DLC, and frankly they're pretty much mandatory; the low-chaos canon version of their stories cap Dishonored 1 and tie directly into 2. Dunwall City Trials is fun for about twenty minutes and then you sorta feel like you're wasting your time. Asbury fucked around with this message at 01:59 on Jun 23, 2017 |

I uh, "accidentally" did that on my first playthrough, becuase the dude was going all Bioshock Atlas on me to push the button to continue, so i thought "gently caress that, i'm going through the roof, sucker." I also did a stealth/non-lethal playthrough so it felt appropriate. I guess i've never experienced how it's meant to be experienced so far, since i only took backroads and only saw the scene changes from the outside when i pushed some levers myself. I don't actually know how the level's supposed to flow, it was mostly some confusing hopping through elevators for me.

It's mentioned in the end level that the overseers were Overwhelmed because Witches + Clockwork Soldiers balance each other really well and they weren't ready for the soldiers, so I'd have liked to see them patrolling paired together; I think it would've made an interesting hazard, especially if they had special behaviors with their partners.

I think it's idle dialogue that mentions they're a giant pain in the arse to create, and are extremely limited as a result. Not sure out of the meta reason.
