Dishonored has some oddly high-profile voice talent involved in it and here we meet our what I think is the most obvious example: Granny Rags? Susan Sarandon.

Anyway, reclaiming Dunwall for the rats is a noble goal.

It's actually wild, I had no idea the grey haired dude from Mad Men (John Slatterly) or the incest queen from Game of Thrones (Lena Headey) had voiced characters too rill looking it up after reading this post. Carrie Fisher as well.

loving Michael Madsen. Forgot about him, that's an ensemble cast right there

There are no innocents in Dunwall. Or at least that's what Corvo keeps telling himself.

Not really, you just chain blink backwards - the guards have trouble keeping up.

That being said, I firmly believe that the mark of a great stealth game is that it gets even more fun once you mess up and things start spiraling out of control. Dishonored is great about that, so is MGSV.

Just clip the bit where you try to save the civilian from the guard, loop it, and upload that to keep everyone busy while you wait for your schedules re-align.

The guards are in the game. If you are in the game, you follow the rules. The guards were throwing bottles and drinking and flirting on the job. That broke the rules. Therefore, they must be punished for breaking the rules. It is only right to do so.

Hey! We prerecord a lot and release. Getting your name in the credits will take a bit of time because that font is secretly a huge pain to work with (it's actually two fonts overlayed on each other) and I need an afternoon to sit down and adjust the format.

Although I have to say, the exaggerated verticality of these maps doesn't help encouraging traversal when you can Blink a good ways horizontal, but not as well upwards or downwards.

There's a second part to vertical navigation that Nat and Tea are missing and that is the Agility passive power, which about triples your jump height.

e: There's also a lot of vertical paths you can access by just climbing furniture or architecture. Most of those levels are very well designed and reward thorough exploration, which sadly doesn't really work for the format of blind LP.

The tools of a hero mean nothing without a solid core.

"Providing multiple approaches" and "blundering into the most direct brute force one after getting discovered" are not mutually exclusive. I definitely played in this style, trying to be clever and panicking into a murder spree when I misstepped.

It should be noted that the non-lethal ways of disposing of the targets can get rather horrific, although with this one in particular - Slackjaw sends the Pendletons to work in their own stone mines after disfiguring their faces and cutting out their tongues - it feels pretty drat deserved.

Let's not forget one of our allies is also a Pendleton. I wonder how Natural20 will change his opinion of Trevor based on the other two Pendletons he just defeated.

I heard that Tea is very good at video games, exemplified by the fact that is takes almost 8 minutes this time before the murderung strategic defense disassembly starts.

Also, I finally understand the phrase "Let sleeping dogs lie", because dogs sleep standing up!

So, with those Tesla Coils.... Command and Conquer: Red Alert: Dishonored (with Corvo as a hero unit that's a Commando equivalent) when?

And your conversation about the Outsider and how he appears to interesting people.... does this mean Corvo doesn't have any friends either?
