Looks good

Dishonored is a first-person stealth action video game being developed by Arkane Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks. It is scheduled to be released sometime in 2012 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.[1] Harvey Smith, known for his past work on the Deus Ex franchise as well as Thief: Deadly Shadows, and Raf Colantonio, who worked on Arx Fatalis and Dark Messiah of Might and Magic, are the lead designers on the game

Plot...
The player controls Corvo, once a legendary guard for the Empress, who seeks vengeance against the Lord Regent who framed him for the assassination of the Empress. Corvo is not only a fine swordsman, master-at-arms, and cunning infiltrator, but also possesses great supernatural powers. The game is presented in open world format as the player can roam The Isles as well as the distant Pandyssian Continent, though the primary setting for the game is the steampunk-esque city of Dunwall.[2] The game is played in first-person, with an emphasis placed on stealth action and the utilization of gadgets as well as the environment to eliminate opposing forces. [3] In the Game Informer cover story, it was mentioned that every enemy in the game (even bosses) can be neutralized non-lethally, if the player so chooses. Lead designers Harvey Smith and Raf Colantonio have described the game world as a "simulation"; if the player encounters thugs harassing an innocent passerby, they can be fought off, but the thugs themselves exist within the game world prior to the event, rather than simply spawning in at a designated time or place. If the player encounters the thugs ahead of time, they can be defeated and the mugging will never take place at all.
Corvo has access to swords, daggers, and guns, including powerful but slow pistols and muskets. Some of his supernatural powers are the ability to freeze time for a certain period, and possess the bodies of small animals.
Also part of the game is an entity referred to as "The Outsider". The ambiguous being is described as part angel and part devil, and it is supposedly responsible for all magic in the world. Its motives and nature are shrouded in mystery, but the protagonist, Corvo, made some form of contact with the being, giving him mysterious powers. According to lead designers Raf Colantonio and Harvey Smith, the Outsider walks among the mortals of Dishonored's world.

Its more looks like an Ancient guy meets the future world :lol:

OK. I'm now very, very much excited for this awesome game. It's getting rave reviews all over. Perfect scores, 9.5s, 9s. It has awesome stealth elements, they say. Much better than other known stealth games *urrgghrr* Splinter Cell *urrrgh*. I love steampunk games. Seems I'll have to buy this game.

Bethesda forever! Arkane Studios rocks!

Fell in love with this game the moment I saw the trailer and the environment.

The art style of this game is very unique. Steampunk city, yet futuristic machines. The animations are good, facial and all. It's nothing like any other game before. An awesome new IP.

I think they purposely made it look like '90s, to have 'that' feeling.

It's not outdated. The art style is like that. They purposefully made it look outdated. The animations, lighting is all awesome, sometimes better than Borderlands 2 [especially animations].

If you select stealth and good at it then then 15hrs max.Otherwise within 6 hrs you can complete it.

Voice of Artyom made Metro 2033 much better. The hint of gloom, despair and hope in his voice was much more engaging.

With Corvo, it seemed like I was playing with mute switch pressed. There is no personality attached to him apart from someone following simple directions.

Bioshock has other magnetic personalities whom you remember even after playing the games. Would you kindly ?

Dishonored has little to no character development. I didn't care whatever happened at the loyalist camp. Callista, martin, Vera, Daud, slackjaw, havelock, esma boyle, sokolov, lady emily...I simply didn't care whatever happened to them, except Cecilia (they left her fate unknown) and to some extent Samuel. I spared lives only because I was seeking low chaos ending.

The game lacks in character customization, interaction between various characters and randomness in gameplay

randomness in the zone.

Btw stealth mechanics is funny at times. I'll post a video soon.

This is how you can get LOW CHAOS/GHOST/NO KILLS (taken from PC Game Reviews, News & Features | PC Gamer)

Low Chaos
What caught me out with Chaos was the fact that the end of mission screen calls it “Chaos (current total)”. I got ‘High’ after my first mission, and since it’s a total, I thought it was already too late to ever get ‘Low’, so I didn’t try to avoid killing after that.

It’s not. If you get High Chaos on the first mission but then don’t kill many people on the next few, it’ll go back to Low. In other words, redemption is possible.

But it’s still not that easy to get Low Chaos. Here’s what Bethesda say about how it’s calculated and what it means:

Chaos is a value that is adjusted according to the actions of your character during gameplay. This system is a hidden mechanic and you will only see the Chaos rating displayed during the ‘end mission’ Stats screen.

The basic rule is killing less than 20% of the characters in a Mission should allow the Low Chaos rating to be sustained.

Your character’s Chaos level will change the story outcome and lead to other various differences throughout gameplay, such as more enemy characters, more rats, or different scenes/environment items and conversations.

Kills by Rewired traps will contribute to player kill amounts and Chaos; that’s Watchtowers, Arc Pylons, and Wall of Lights.

Rats, Hagfish and River Krust do not raise Chaos if killed. They also do not count towards detection of your character.

Wolfhound kills do not count towards Chaos, but they can detect your character. Wolfhounds can discover bodies, and their corpses will count towards “bodies found”.

Weepers do count for detection. They do raise the Chaos level if they are killed.

The best method for regaining a Low Chaos rating is to not kill enemy characters and take stealth routes to avoid combat when playing through a mission.

There are scenarios where performing a good deed will drop the Chaos rating by a small amount (Example: saving a character that is in distress).

Following “Non-lethal” objectives will decrease chaos by a significant amount when the mission is completed.


No kills
Not hiding bodies well enough after choking them out or sleep darting them can sometimes lead to other characters finding them or may lead to nearby rats cleaning them up, counting as a kill towards your character’s stats.

Unconscious characters won’t survive a fall from a great height, or a slip into the water which will also result in a kill towards your character stats.


Ghost
All characters and creatures count as detecting the player character, with the exception of friendly characters, Rats, River Krust, Hagfish and Watchtowers. This is evidenced by the red bolt icons upon detection.

Friendly characters will turn into a detection if they see your character do anything aggressive/hostile (kill someone, be hostile towards the NPC, carry a dead/subdued body, etc.). They will gain the red bolts when this happens.

I killed more than 65 people in first three round. It was too late to redeem. Though I played the later levels without any kills.

there's how many characters we can save ? I remember saving 3 characters - they are not very important to complete the game.

some missions can be tricky
if the guard isnt moving at all, then you cab try suffocating him (I dont remember the key combinations... may be HOLD CTRL while crouching)

Nov 23, 2012 at 2:09 PM
yeah holding ctrl key while crouching. but.. will that considered as killing?

Any mod to increase the FOV? Can't play at a stretch for more than 10 minutes and it's killing the fun. :(

This game looks and feels quite a bit like Bioshock and so far seems nothing extra-ordinary. Adopting a brute force method with high chaos and so far the game is allowing me to do so, which is good IMO.

did not know that it will make you see through walls but we need to upgrade this for that, right ?
