Zurai posted:One of the things that sets Dishonored apart is that they intentionally let the player abuse the powers you get. Whenever one of the playtesters found a way to avoid or solve a problem by using a power in a novel way, they erred on the side of leaving it in rather than "fixing" or "nerfing" it. The result is that the way you use powers feels a lot more organic and... realistic isn't the right word. Smooth? Reasonable? than in other similar games. Intuitive maybe? That word comes up a lot in Zelda BotW and TotK for example, the amazing thing about those games is that generally the abilities act like you expect them to so you can have moments of insight where you figure out how to apply them to a problem.

Nonlethal in these sorts of games is always going to be harder because there's no way to accidentally not kill someone. "I was going to put a bullet into the guy's face but my hand slipped. He doesn't sound the alarm, next thing you know I'm sneaking past half the map before it'll turn back on."

EricFate posted:This is quite an interesting take on stealth gameplay. I never would have considered this approach -- where you creep around in the shadows until someone turns to look at you, and then stride out into the open with your weapons drawn. A bold strategy. I'm sure it will pay off in the long run. This is the approach I took, I call it the Oops Ninja.

Natty Ninefingers posted:Oops! So very sorry! I must kill you now. It's not MY fault, it's just that when stealth fails these games make it very difficult (if possible at all) to get it back again.

"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.

That's where you fade the video out? Things are totally going to go sideways in about ten seconds. My money's on fumbling Sokolov at the railing and dropping him in the river. Bruceski fucked around with this message at 04:00 on Jul 18, 2023 |

A stealth game is at its best when things go awry and chaos-panic ensues. This LP is at its best.

Natural 20 posted:I still can't figure out what even happened to Daud watching the replay back. He just vanished I guess? When you do enough damage to Daud he teleports to a Cutscene Spot for a save/kill choice. He was marked on the hud at the end of last video but, well, if you don't see it it's easy to just walk out the exit as was done.

Cloud Potato posted:If the options presented are "Help Slackjaw, Kill Granny Rags" or "Help Granny Rags, Kill Slackjaw", then what's the non-lethal option? Either knock Granny out after burning the cameo or take the key and run.
