SolidSnakesBandana posted:-The cash registers are dumb. First of all nobody cares if you just loot their cash register right in front of them, and second there's always like one or two giant coins in there and it looks dumb as hell. Those giant coins are also annoying as poo poo to click on so 9 times out of 10 I accidentally close the register and have to open it again. You aren't using a controller to play an FPS, like a big dumb idiot, are you?

In the bank heist, I made the mistake of opening a cash register near a sleeping clerk. Oops, sorry to disturb your nap, lady.

Death of the Outsider doesn't have a chaos system or even a "Clean Hands" achievement, so feel free to enact all your depraved serial killer flights of fancy.

I still found myself not really cool with murdering city guards, though. Overseers and Eyeless, on the other hand, only survived if it was more convenient to knock them out.

I didn't kill anyone in DOTO until the second half of the last level, because loving hell those big dudes that can see through semblance made that bit of the game a pain to go through nonlethally.

I managed to get there ghosting every level up till that point and no way was I leaving without my achievement (Right, ladron?  ) so I ended up doing all kinds of wacky acrobatics with the blink ability and then cheesing the end by falling down the quarry to the end surviving with only a sliver of health.Every other run I just spammed grenades and gadgets and slaughtered everyone in the mine.

The envisioned are easier to kill than I thought. Just a charged shot to the head and then run up to them with your sword. The first time I tried hook mines and grenades and stuff and when that didn't work, I just assumed they were invulnerable. Something that was weird for me, though...the first time I played the Shindaery Mines, when using Foresight, Billie sees something and says "it's hurting my eye!" I didn't see what it was though...was it that eye of the dead god? On OG+ with the D2 powers, it doesn't happen.

The Eye of the Dead God has a pretty strong presence when you use Foresight, and I presume, also Dark Vision. You have to look at it to get the line from Billie, though.

Maybe it was obvious to everyone else but the other day I suddenly realized that Dishonored 2 is just a mashup of Thief 2 and 3. It follows the same flow from 3 with the missions being in between town sections, and even has black market vendors marked with a hand symbol. The Outsider is kinda like if The Trickster, Delilah is obviously Victoria, The Overseers are The Builders. It's so obvious now!

So I do. Then I fight off all the bloodflies and load up all the bodies into the furnace... And I get one piece of amber. I thought it'd just spawn however many pieces for however many bodies I crammed in there. Nope! Must just be a simple check where a body(or bodies) yields 1 amber. But anyway, if you're a sick bastard and have a lot of time on your hands you could probably farm the entire populace of the city.

Man, I thought that the vault code would be a lot more complex, because of the golden ration on the board. Felt kinda silly not figuring it out afterwards... Also the dearth of abilities is kinda nyeh. Seventh Arrow posted:Didn't the witch in Thief 3 also turn people into stone?

It's possible it's capped to only give 3 blood amber (two from the pre-existing infested corpses, plus one more presumably from either the prisoner or the taxidermist).

Well, after some delay, I managed to complete DOTO in a two-night marathon, and I'm still wrestling with my thoughts about it. The gameplay and Billie's power set did take a while to get used to, but I adapted comfortably. Removing the chaos system (in what I assume was a callback to the original design of D1) was an interesting experience; in every playthrough I've ever done, I've always stayed low chaos because I want the happy ending, so it was exhilarating to finally cut loose. As for the story...well, it's like this. I came into DOTO prejudiced, as I didn't like what Arkane did with the lore in D2, and I am also the only Dishonored player who doesn't like Billie Lurk. From those strikes against it, DOTO also lost me when it started digging into the Eyeless (hasn't this series had enough street gangs already?) and into the mechanics of the Void and the Outsider's history. I honestly preferred D1's portrayal of him as an imperturbable demiurge that no one could touch, and it's long been my belief that explaining how your magic works is a narrative tumor in genre fantasy that must be excised at all costs. I also didn't like the designs Arkane made for the Oracular sisters; I wish they'd cribbed from the "battle nun" designs the fandom liked so much. Speaking of fandom, I noticed one surprising deep pull in the bank. Somewhere on the third floor, I believe, and in some of the collectible notes, there's mention of a high-ranking employee named "Vesper Bistrow." As it turns out, I recognized the name from an aborted tumblr writing/comic project about an Oracular Initiate of the same name. Sadly I can't find the page anymore; it's either been deleted or lost in the search algorithm, so I'm afraid you'll have to take my word for it. In another shout-out to the fandom, one of the vaults in the safe has some Corvo/Outsider slash. I think that speaks for itself.

I think the Ousider got off way too easy in DOTO. Even in the best case, he's a massive jerk in D1. You can claim that it's up to his chosen's free will what they do with his power, but he chooses who he picks, and when. He didn't give Corvo the mark in time to save the Empress, or even to spring out of prison afterwards. He let him rot there for 6 months, and only after Corvo has already freed himself with the Loyalists' help does he mark him, unbidden, also forever branding him a heretic for anyone who catches a glimpse of the mark. Then in the Daud expansions, he pretty much sets Daud and Delilah against each other, so they can't interfere with the rise of his new golden boy Corvo, all the while claiming he doesn't play favorites. One thing I agree with, by previously having the Outsider as the sole source of magic in Dishonored's world, that really limits what you can do for interesting antagonists that can match your power. For that reason alone, he had to be written out of the series. If we get more games, the possibilities are now much more open. Hannibal Rex fucked around with this message at 14:27 on Oct 6, 2017 |

I think he pretty much just gave powers to people in such a way that he foresaw that events would play out in a way that would likely lead to his death/release. Which I think you can be forgiven for doing after being basically a prisoner for thousands of years.

I thought the ending where you let the Outsider become human again was kind of interesting. I mean, you just kind of dump him on the streets of Karnaca. Now he has to get a job. What's he going to do? It would be amazing if he became an overseer.

One of the writers on Death of the Outsider, Hazel Monforton, is a promoted fangirl. Reportedly, Harvey Smith brought her on board because he liked an essay she wrote. I knew about the slash excerpt, but it doesn't surprise me that much that there are some even deeper dives into the fandom.
