Following Havelock's sudden yet inevitable betrayal, I decided my Corvo had finally had his innocence knocked away and became a murderous killing machine. No more choke holds and ghosting past people. I killed practically all of Daud's crew (left Daud though), left most of the people at the Hound Pits alive (they were innocents), then went brutal and neck-sliced and face-stabbed some 60-odd guards at the lighthouse. The power that turns people to ashes when you kill them, combined with the zoomy-zoom and the crossbow, is very powerful. I left Havelock alive to face torture and prison because fuck that guy.

Oh, and I sided with Slackjaw, not Rags.

Being a goody two shoes in earlier missions got me the Low Chaos ending though. I've watched the other two endings on Youtube, and read up on soe of the differences towards the end of the game -- I'm very impressed by some of the clever stuff the devs did.

I did most of the sidequests, although I see now that I missed one about escorting plague victims to safety in the chapter 7 -- not sure how that passed me by.

Only 'Harm's Way' and 'Only Flesh and Steel' not picked up, and I can't be bothered to do them. I did try Harm's Way, but couldn't figure it out.

Random tangent: the entire soundtrack for Mafia 2 though was mind-bogglingly good. As was the one for Mafia 1... a different track for each area, from a bustling tune for the downtown area to increasingly sleepy melodies the further you got into the suburbs and wealthy neighbourhoods. Like LA Noire, it had a lot of historical inaccuracies (Playboy wasn't being printed until 1953, the Thunderbird wasn't built until 1955) but I guess they figured an 18 year old who was shipped off to war in 1943 would be in his thirties - and thus too old - at the end of the 50s and so they had to accelerate the rise of 1950s culture to 1951. I tended to just ignore those niggles because they capture the atmosphere so well, albeit with the noticeable Eastern European influences on the look of the city that had also been present in the original.

By 'the last two' do you include the bit at the pub? Everything up until Daud is basically the same, which I was a bit dissapointed by as I the game continually tells you how that lots of things change. At the very end I reloaded ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view! to let the girl fall , expecting it to say 'MISSION FAILED, reload', like when you ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view! slice up one of the goodies during a normal pub visits . NOPE.

I think the mistake last time was that I rewired the wall. Even though it still fried the guests, that didn't count for some reason.

Yeah, I think it's because you mess with it and make it a trap, it's not technically a suicide. It took me about half an hour of constant retrying, because of psychic guards somehow knowing it's your fault they died, or from the guests scattering and running away to gods know where.

It helps if you disable the alarm in the closet. Only 2 or 3 guards come. I think these are the guards already 'on' the map, whereas the alarm causes spawns or something. (As I definitely killed more guards than I saw when sluething round the place).

Hmm. Good point. I never thought to do that. I walked the two music-box Overseers into the closboard and slat their thruts, then waited until there were 3-4 guests in the area before starting my slaughter. Luckily one had decided to cower in the dining room. Took three possessions to get her back to the Wall

The combat was the least interesting part of Dishonoured. I can understand it's an 'easy' thing to do, but really, who thought up the idea? It's can't have been anyone who'd ever seen the game.... surely?

Picked this up on PC, as Green man were doing Steam Keys for it for 15 quid. Gameplay is fun, but graphics have a bit of a retro feel to them, in a bad way. I know you get hordes of them running around so they're not going to be super intricate, but the rats look like they're done with three polygons and a 16x16 texture. I guess this is the price you pay for cross-platform development where the other two platforms are out of date and underpowered children's toys.

I just spend a fun half hour or so mopping up some cheevos that looked amusing. Kill 6 people in 1 sec; travel 30m in 1 sec; kill 4 people with the crossbow in 1 sec; cause 5 suicides; cause someone to kill 5 of their allies. Tried for "fight five guys at once" but couldn't get it to drop. I did get "escape from 5 guys" though. I neglected to kill blokey feller for Regicide when I had the chance, and I might try the "kill someone with his own live grenade" one. And then I'm done; the others would all demand a complete second (and more) play through, which I'm not fancying.

Post subject:	Re: Dishono(u)red
Half Life 2 didn't have massive banners telling you to do stuff. I like games that don't remind you that they're games. Still, Dishonoured, it's still pretty good. I like the escape from the prison, but especially where you had to lead the rats from the door unlocking mechanism. It's like the perfect example of a puzzle that requires no explanation and I'm glad the game left me alone. You walk in and rats are eating a body in a sewer; above guards are tossing in corpses to dispose of the remains. The rats attack you when you get close but you need to move them as they near the door mechanism since the door is close. The solution: toss a corpse nearby and let the rats go at it while you open the door and escape. During this whole time I'm not given an 'objective', there's no hints and there's only the chatter of the guards echoing into the sewer building on the background story. It's brill. More of this please.

Post subject:	Re: Dishono(u)red
Right, lets get one thing straight, there's something special here. I've finished the first assassination - takes bleeding ages if you want to go exploring (which I do) - and it's clicked. The levels are wide and tall and richly detailed throughout. It's bloody lovely I tells ya. Little details are everywhere. Ok, so if you want to go smack everyone up and go straight for the money shot, you can, but if your play it properly (and why not fuck a couple of baddies up along the way, since stealthing can get a bit dull and too difficult) then it's fabulous. The only reason to go exploring seemed to be to pick up the power-ups but there's a variety of ways to get about and into places and, er, shit. It's taken the first mission to get into the groove but about 2/3 hours later and I'm thinking that this is better than, um, Bioshock, for some reason. Probably since its very similar to that. Without all the bollocks and mini-games and, shit. Ooh and the incidental details are great. My favourite so far: the guard who's ill. He doesn't want his eyes to bleed and asks his colleague to kill him. He does. It's dark. It's great. Anyway, Dishonoured, it's made me want to play it after a real lull gaming (for me at least).

This is brilliant. Really brilliant. I'm struggling to get the feeling that it's amazing - y'know, that feeling you get when something is exciting, edge of your seat, pant wetting amazing - but it's intelligent, well made, and has a certain amount of genius about it. I love zapping places with super-zappy speed travel. I love the fantastic level design. I love the sense of place and character. I love the stories. I love the chatter, the sound, the graphics and the way your head rolls when it gets chopped off. The "only" thing that's even slightly irritated me are the loading times. It's the best thing I've played in yonks.

Something groovy. I was doing the bridge level and was just about half way across. I was sneaking pretty good up until then. I snuck along the top of the bridge zapping from girder to girder, climbed some chains and disable the lights before zapping down the other side and under the bridge. A change of pace was needed: I possess a fish and swim to the far side. Not a sole (ho-ho) noticed my fabulous infiltration and extrication. Well, until I climb the stairs just as a guard is walking that way. Sloppy. The guard charges at me, only for me to zappy zap out of harms way. Only thing was, the guard didn't stop running and the only thing behind me was a drop off the bridge onto craggy rocks. One guard splatted.

Did anyone pinch Sokolov as easy as me? Zapped up onto the roof with little fuss and escaped with his unconscious body! I tried a few times to get through the indoors part with no fighting but it was too much hard work, then I spied a chain outside and - bobs your uncle - I'm up top.
