Before you ask, source is Twitter. I helped collecting that shit into that, sorry for editing, but FIELD TOO LONG, FUCK YOU 4CHAN.
>QUESTION
Answer.
>How long is the Dishonored 2 campaign going to last approximately?
If Dis1 was 8-12 hours for most people, Dis2 is probably 12-20.
>can you please tell, what is an Antique Serkonan Guitar in dlc pack?
a musical instrument. it's a decorative item with a history, and you can pluck it to make a note...it's a simple thing (though the backstory is cool)
>was the sokolov driving the boat?
yep
>In @dishonored 2, will we see the ability to use powers in one hand and items like the heart in other?
same breakdown as before
>I think you've answered this question before, but will there be loading screens between sections of the levels in #Dishonored2?
between missions, yes
>saw someone asking about Callista, but I'd love to hear if Cecelia is alright! Alive? Getting her vitamins? Somewhat happy?
i hope she's happy
>Hi Harvey, I loved Dishonored, but curious if D2 continues the 'bleak ending if you kill people' thing. Wasn't a fan of that. :/
to be fair, it was 'grimmer if you kill a lot' - but we have an improved version of that
>Hey Harveyi have a quick question, why does corvo's mask look slightly different also why is his hand wrapped,Thanks
hand wrapped to hide the Outsider's Mark
>Did Delilah meet her demise back in the Void where Daud fought her? Seems like she somehow managed to find the way to come back.
daud did not fail
CONT...
>>341971608
>While I was watching the gameplay, which was awesome btw, I noticed that Emily's Mesmerize and the Timepiece are a little Overpowered. What can Guards and other enemies do to defend against that?
the powers cost Runes to buy and Spiritual Elixir to use, and they only affect 2 people (until upgraded) can be upgraded to 3 then 4
plus there are short delays built into useage, and range/duration limits
feels balanced to us, in playtest; but you can also play No Powers mode
>what happened to the [clockwork soldiers] from last years trailer?
it was an earlier model
>we all know Jessamine and Corvo were in love, but would Dunwall's law allowed her to marry him if she wanted?
i think so - against the judgement of the aristocracy
>will there be an option to toggle the outline around the objects of interest on/off?
yeah we went nuts on Options menu choices this time
>will Karnaca have a day/night cycle?
no, baked into missions
>how long have bloodflies been in serkonos - would corvo have early memories of them?
yes...usually not as thick
in times of war, disease or corruption, there are more bodies = greater infestation
>how does corvo feel about the outsider? did he miss him after dh1 or glad to be rid of him?
daud hated the Outsider; Corvo is more mixed...like, "this gives me an edge"
>sokolov looks like a much more pleasant person in dh2 than the first game. What happened to his angry face and dem eyebrows
matured
CONT...
>>341971640
>So does the Outsider have to do human things like eat or drink?
nope
>hey Harvey, do you know if the levels in Dishonored 2 are split up distinctly by loading screens like in D1?
they're large, and we try to avoid loads, but yes they are - we are not open world
we prefer it for this game to open world; but we like it better with fewer loads
>Noticed a lot of places in the demo where you could see your body/legs but is this an all the time thing like Crysis/Battlefield
no, we have partial body awareness
>I guess that it's the beginning of photography in Dishonored2 & although Sokolov's portraits are famous photo is more modern
YEP
>lore-wise is silvergraph essentially wet-plate photography? (using whale gelatin? cousin celia's dry silver mines? lol) so cool
you probably know more about it than we do, but I would assume something Jindosh developed akin to daguerreotype
we are sort of set in 1852 this time
a thing I love: the way early photographers all had their own techniques, producing different results http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/frph/hd_frph.htm
>Hi Harvey, can I ask you why you guys decided to keep the sword in the right hand? For non-lethal playthroughs it felt like an ever-present, almost useless tool. Was it to show on screen when you're in stealth mode, or for defense, etc?
for most players, it's nice to have an *instantly* available tool to block or attack; always there, instant response
>Alright, sounds reasonable! Can't expect the game to be made exactly to fit my playstyle, haha. Thank you!
this time you can also use one of the Enhancements defensively, upgrading so you can block incoming projectiles
>why are you change model of mech guards from 1st trailer?It's like: wood is better for dust climate,or there were other reasons?
there's a bit of fiction in the game about the change Jindosh made from the earlier version
CONT...
>>341971705
CONT - LAST PART
>what happened to Samuel the boatman? He was one of my favorite characters. Is he in D2?
the grave
>There was a guard leaning on the balcony Emily finished him by doing a special animation. Object interaction killing is new?
we trigger different animations based on enemy positioning, yes
you might be talking about the "ledge" case; one of the new states for assassination or nonlethal subdual
>About the "No Powers" mode:
No Powers makes the game harder but is unrelated to anything else
>does this mean you get around every level without blink?
YES
>what about corvo though? can the outsider take his powers back?
same option exists for Corgi Attano
>Is this mode meant to still support both killy&stealth play styles?
totally - nonlethal nonviolent ghostly never detected no powers is really a thing
>is flesh+steel in dh2 still an achievement or just a game mode? if u deny the powers can u get them later if u change ur mind?
hard to remember the details of the script for the Tepphy/Achievement here in LA, but...there still is one; taking the powers invalidates it; you cannot change your mind
> is you say no to his powers, can you still have chats with him at shrines? those were some of my favourite little moments
yes
>you mentioned a game mode with no powers, is it only an option in Settings or is it a choice in the story to deny the powers ?
choice in the story
END FOR NOW.

Nice, thanks. Hyped
>>341974416
Games have had prominent gay characters since 1990, how is it hot news?
>>341971608
Thanks for transcribing, OP.
I've never been more hyped for a game in my entire life, so this is extremely relevant to me. Can't wait for Dishonored 2 to be GOAT.
>>341974416

Who ? I finished the game like 5 times but what is he talking about ?

Doesn't bother me, bud. I'm an adult who doesn't shit myself when every single character in a game isn't a straight white male. What a pathetic life you must lead.

I'm hype about no powers run possible for Corgi... I mean Corvo.
>>341974637
One of the doctors (I think Sokolov) is gay. Billie Lurk is lesbian. I've heard the Outsider is bi, but he may as well be asexual considering what he is.
>>341974416
who cares, make them all gay if it makes the game good.
>>341974643
Right? Probably the best line I've heard about D2. No one phrase has ever calmed and reassured me like "We are not an open world".
>>341974779

>>341974975
Still not sure if I believe you but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.
FYI that Twitter image is prime shitposting material.
I think they'll be written well because Arkane gets it. They'll be characters first, who happen to be gay. Being gay won't be their defining feature. Like Bill from TLoU, probably the best gay character in vidya history.

>>341975994
I hate /pol/ 2bh but you're still a fag
Could someone post that video from Dishonored 1 where guys kills like 20 people really fast using all sorts of abilities and gadgets?
>>341971763
So Samuel is dead... the guy was already looking old and tired in the first so that makes sense, but he was easily one of my fav character, that sucks.
It's nice to see that Cecelia survived though, there was always this "she'll be the first to be sacrificed", so it was funny to see her survived even in high chaos.
>>341971763
Probably shouldn't have googled Corgi Attano...
>>341976169
>Most people
Most people are idiots.
I'm expecting 8-12 hours for a Dishonored 2 playthough but if it's as replayable as the first game then I couldn't care less.
>>341974416
why would even care it's not a fuckling dating sim you faggot !
Still no straight answer if "no powers" mode will offer gated content/unique dialogue/scenario/ending.

I've heard it's usually 5-6 hours per map.
Now looking at several videos, you can see some common combo (adrenaline = sword + pistol + blink/sword), it's still ridiculously funny to see what someone with a grim imagination and some nice prep skills can do with this game.

>I've heard the Outsider is bi
That's so fucking stupid. Why should the Outsider be sexual at all? Fucking SJW retards.
>>341971608
>source is Twitter
And that's when I stopped reading
Harvey might be a bit of an SJW otherwise but he's never really let that influence his games. I'm not super excited about him using twitter as a platform for answering questions like this, but I can't help but agree that he's based for being involved.
>If Dis1 was 8-12 hours for most people, Dis2 is probably 12-20.
Wasn't Dishonored 4 to 6 hours for most people? Certainly not for me, I spent like 100 hours in that game, but people love to rush through games instead of exploring.
Also, Harvey Smith is contradicting himself here, he said it would be the same length as Dishonored 1, maybe more, maybe less.
>>341971608
>between missions, yes
That's not what they asked. They asked if there are loading INSIDE the missions between sections.
>The developers listened to the faggots that cried about the game being mean to you if you went around mass murdering everyone
I fucking hate you, /v/, you're also responsible for this shit.
>>341971608
>daud did not fail
Alright, so it's basically confirmed that Daud trapped Delilah in the void with that painting magic and she somehow managed to break out, possibly because the void is getting more and more broken down because the whales are dying?
I still think it's really weird and kind of dumb to have a good Villain from the DLC that had a good arc and was thwarted come back as the main villain for the sequel. Then again, I also hate that we're still going with Corvo and Emily instead of new characters in the same world.
>>341971640
The earlier model of clockwork soldiers looked way creepier and cooler, to be honest. A shame they changed them to look like drones out of Phantom Menace.
>>341971705
>we are not open world
This is why Dishonored and Arkane are so fucking based. Meticulous crafting in level designed instead of falling for the retarded open world meme for "muh immersion"
The levels still look huge, but they're actually linear, as it should be. Fuck everyone who doesn't like it.
>>341982342
It just didn't make sense. Especially since some of the alternatives are fates worse than death.
>But the corpses you leave feed the rat plague
Everyone took the "bodies turn to ash" skill.
>>341971763
>Samuel died
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I hope they give some sort of backstory to it at least. Also, why would he spoil this on twitter? God damn it, Harvey.
>>341971763
Someone should ask him if there are any dialogue changes at all in the rest of the game if you use no powers. He seems to imply that's the case but hasn't clarified it.
>>341980338
Harvey's twitter, to be precise. He's famous for sharing shit that no one would know about through twitter, which sucks ball but whatever.
>>341982704
Even with the ash skill, you were still killing people that would otherwise be helping out against the plague by killing rats, you were still making widows and orphans.
It made sense, if you were not a murderer and a ghost playing non or barely lethal, things were less darker, if you were an edgy assassin going around killing over half the level on a regular basis, the game gets darker.
It wasn't a fucking punishment, it was a reward, it was the game adapting to how you were playing, it also helped with replayability, but the story isn't as happy, so MUH BAD ENDING. Fucking faggots.
>>341980245
Why not? He's clearly interested in humans and takes their form. Is it so strange that he'd be sexual in any way?
>>341976390

holy shit, first time seeing it worded correctly.

>>341971608
Doesnt the heart say that Cecilia dies anyway?

>>341984923
>being okay with prominent token characters in your vidya
I don't know about you, but I don't like seeing stupid political shit in my games. Just fucking leave me alone and let me take my mind off of real life garbage for a while, holy shit.
>>341986171
>implying I said token characters
Tokens can fuck off, actual characters are fine, if we get a lesbo sex scene the game only goes up in quality. If it's fucking littered with one dimensional faggots though they can fuck straight off
>>341986171
>if they are diffrent, they must be token characters
Well there sure as shit are a bunch of token characters out there, but it's not true all of the time, not even close. Why are blacks or homosexuals more political than whites and heterosexuals? Fucking 0 unless you and/or the developer make it political.
>>341986761
>Fucking 0 unless [...] the developer make it political.
See, that's the thing. Unless the story's setting means it'd only make sense for them to be there, or unless it's a non-western game where they're there for fetish/joke reasons, they're bound to be there simply because it fits the developer's/marketer's political views; and when that happens the writers just can't help themselves but ham it up and make sure that everyone knows exactly what they are without any room for interpretation so everyone can see how progressive they are.
>>341984560
Cecelia managed running away during the penultimate mission, according to some of Smith she made it safe, though since she was barely acknowledged by anyone but Corvo, it's doubtful she'll be in the second opus...
I really can't remember anything about the heart about Cecelia's death though.
>>341987552
Or they put them there because homosexuals have existed forever. Other historical periods didn't exist in voids that lacked our modern day issues. Wanting to accurately represent reality, historical or contemporary, is not the same as pushing a political agenda. BioWare could be accused of pursuing a political agenda, writing their homosexuals to make a point of including them. On the contrary, CD Project Red included homosexuals in the form of the hunter (amongst others, I think) in White Orchard to accurately depict the issues that diffrent people might be facing in a pseudo-historical setting. 8% of the population is not strictly heterosexual; that's a considerable number you can't ignore. The diffrence between non-straight people and more specific demographics like blacks or east asians is that the former has existed in every single human civilisation; they don't require the piece of media in which they're depicted to be set in a specific place at a specific time to make sense.
>>341989093
>Or they put them there because homosexuals have existed forever. Other historical periods didn't exist in voids that lacked our modern day issues.
You don't seem to understand that in those time periods they would not be openly gay to people who aren't very close friends or specifically searching them out. If the character stumbled across a circle of gays organising an orgy whilst he was sneaking around a bunch of nobles, or if he found out about an influential figure raping a young servant of his, yeah, that'd make sense. Having a bunch of characters be all, "Hey, did you know that I like to suck cock and it sucks being me? Well you do now teehee~" is just shit writing and far too commonplace in games where that'd usually be social, and maybe even literal, suicide.
>>341990308
>You don't seem to understand that in those time periods they would not be openly gay to people who aren't very close friends or specifically searching them out.
Nor are they. In the Witcher 3 said hunter lives in the forest on his own and is reluctant to tell Geralt about himself. In Dishonored, any hints of Sokolov or whoever it was being a homosexual are subtle and are rumours at best. No one goes "Hey I suck cock/eat pussy by the way" but the awful caricatures in BioWare's latest games, because BioWare are utterly incapable of subtlety and nuance and are only looking for "good guy" points. I fully expect Arkane to be able to deliver a nuanced, honest take on homosexuality in a pseudo-Victorian setting if they so wish; they've the tact for it.
>Every Dishonored 2 thread turns into SJW VS /pol bullshit
Fuck
enjoy modern vidya
>>341990797
I don't have any complaints with the Witcher, but I'm not going to expect anything good from someone who appears to be going out of their way to make sure that prominent characters are LGBT. This kind of thing seems like a red flag to me, even if their past works weren't too bad, so I'm going to hold out on buying the game due to this until I know for certain that they did handle it well rather than use the videogame as a platform for their political views.
>>341974880
Sokolov isn't gay. Using the heart on him reveals he has several mistresses - and also he compliments Lady Boyle's figure quite a bit before you go assassinate her.
>>341992196
The game suggest he had a romance with Vera Moray if i remember
>>341974416

Curnow has a log that reveals he loved a soldier. Killed him to hide his secret.
Daud's right hand lady, can't remember her name, also alludes to being gay apparently according to my Dishonored fanboy friend. They handled it pretty well, they were characters, before they were gay. I have faith Arkane will handle it with the same finesse.
>>341993114
Yeah, proof I never knew that shit when I finished the game multiple times
>>341971763

>>341982752

I know the backstory, I killed him when that faggot cried about the bunch of corrupt fucks I gutted
>>341983001
He's responded to every single one of my Dishonored related tweets to him.
This game is looking GREAT
Too bad it is extremely hard to generate hype with footage of a stealth game. Their e3 presentation was a little weak.
Wait, why is everyone super flaming open gay again? I know it's "prominent", meaning every gay character will talk with a lisp and have an earing in their left ear, but why are they doing this, lore wise? Is being gay something that people base their personalities on in Dishonoured? Like, everyone is told to do it?
>>341993673
I agree on both points. The presentation especially was weird as fuck because the footage was compressed to hell, the FPS was terrible and it was being played with a controller.
>>341993895
75% of the cast will be shitposting on a Gristolan Whaling board.
>>341974416
I really not mad as long they dont shove into your face.
Finding secret rooms and the deepest secrets of characters in stealth games while searching for them is a cool thing. Like the high overseer sex room. Or the lady boyle dirts.
No matter what, in this game, if you are "prominent" you are either the protagonist or the target. Unless emily is gay, we will be killing them.
>>341993895
>I know it's "prominent", meaning every gay character will talk with a lisp and have an earing in their left ear
This is not Bioware.
>>341971608
>If Dis1 was 8-12 hours for most people, Dis2 is probably 12-20.
what the fuck, blood and wine which was a DLC was more than 20 hours
Watching the little bit of E3 footage and reading what this dev has to say honestly doesn't fill me with a lot of good will. It kinda sounds like Dihonored 2 will just end up being more of the same with most differences being minimal at best

>>341974416
meh, people were all kinds of depraved in the time period they're going for. gay and bi shit wouldn't even be scratching the surface.
>>341994240
To be honest, you need to be a casual and rush the game killing every one to beat it in 12 hours. My proper stealthy completionist run took me 35 hours.
>>341971608
Wait, so Callista is alive? Are she and Corvo together?
>>341994410
It's been a while since I played the first game but I don't think the Outsider is evil? I also don't remember him actually giving Corvo and instructions on how to use his powers morally.
>>341994416
I do hope it's not out of place, but I think it will be. Mostly because people have no reason to tell you they're gay. Imagine if every gay person you met told you they were gay. That's how it's going to be in this game.
>>341994742
My understanding of the Outside is that he's a bit of a god of change. He doesn't like things stagnating (like Daud's career) so he stirs the pot to get things moving again. He's not necessarily good or evil.
>>341994649
>Wait, so Callista is alive?
Yes
>Are she and Corvo together?
What? hell no. the devs answer sound like "she is alive and happy. Somewhere. We dont care, she doesnt appear in the game"
>>341994871
The Outsider*
kek
>>341994847
it'll probably be shit you can find in a major character's quarters, like love letters or something.
Will I be able to fuck Emily if I play as Corvo? She wanted to marry him in the original Dishonored.
>>341994742
>>341994871
He is neutral and bored. Giving people powers and watching what happens.
>>341994873
That sucks. If you walk in on her bathing and make a pass at her she says she would think of doing it if and when the whole shit they were doing was over.
I kinda wanted Corvo to be somewhat happy after losing Jessamine.
>>341983223
The less human qualities that the Outsider has, the better. It adds to the mystery.
>>341995021
Is it explained anywhere in D1 just WHAT the Outsider is? Even some very vague lore or something?

As the name suggest, he's an Outsider, he doesn't really care as long as what he's seeing pleases him. And indeed he did not give any instruction, he just describes what you've done and/or what you could do

>Born a human outcast[3] over 4,000 years before the events of Dishonored, with no known family[4], at 15 years old the "powerless and abused"[5] orphan[4] was unwillingly[6] subjected to a ritual by an occult group in which "he was bathed and dressed, and his hands were adorned with rings."[7] He was thought to show all signs in him to become one with the Void, notably his age and bits of prophecy (the celestial movements and events like the mass dying of fish).[8] He then "merged in part with the Void"[9][10] to become a "being of insatiable curiosity about what people do when given power over others."[1] As a "godlike entity" who represents the current time period,[11] the Outsider appears to people he finds "interesting,"[12] and can make contact with them both through dreams, and in the physical world at his shrines. Those known to have been in direct contact with the Outsider include Corvo Attano, Piero Joplin, Granny Rags, Daud, Delilah Copperspoon, and the "Lonely Rat Boy". It is believed that the Outsider has also appeared to Emily Kaldwin, based on a description of a figure seen in her dreams.
>>341976620
They give you more options for non-lethal in the sequel. The non-lethal takedowns were much better than lethal in the first tho
>>341995486
That makes sense really considering how disorientating Corvo's powers might be in VR
>>341995314
>Source
No she's not she's only talked shit about it since 2015.
>>341995198
It's implied the outsider is Arkane themselves
>>341995198
>>341995357
I suggest reading the wiki about The Outsider and The Void. He's not a God, but likely the closest do it.
>>341995501
Huh, interesting. Is there more of this 'game commentary' I can read somewhere?
Has anyone actually tried playing a game of Nancy? Is it fun?
>>341971763
>can straight up deny powers from Outsider
>it makes the game harder
Holy fuck, yes.
>>341995590
>that denial
>>341995501
I cannot fucking believe they didn't just go with the fan-made Leviathan theory.
>>341995501
>he's not the astral projection of a leviathan in the darkest depths of the sea
Well I guess he's atleast tied to the whales in some way. They're clearly some kind of source of magic and have been integral to the occult pratices of the island of Gristol for thousands of years.

So what is 'the Void' then?
>>341996027
fezz anon I don't know what would you call "the void"
>>341995819
>muh b8
>>341977397
Can't wait to see what he'll do with Emily's far reach and domino, they look full of possibilities.
>>341995501
The Leviathan Theory was so much cooler, and now the Outsider just seems kinda... meh.
>>341996027
It's not really ever stated, so my best 'theory' I guess is just a living realm of magic with no consciousness.
>>341995486
It was more something like, VR is interesting, may be nice, but for Dishonored ? nopenopenope. They are full on the game now so VR is like, yeah maybe we'll look at it when we'll have time to, which is clearly not now.
>>341995331
shit, you could make do with nothing but your sword and some potions (I heard there might be a block button but I refuse to believe it)
game was easy as fuck
>>341994873
Its less, "we don't care" and more "we let her go follow her dreams despite society's putting her down".
In the first game, the Heart says wanted to be a whaler, but couldn't because she was a woman.
>>341977286
>Killing people with an unmodified ark philon
Kek. does it count like a kill or they did it upon themselves?
>>341995501
Harvey has also mentioned that the Void almost always has an avatar(there are some periods where it doesn't). Before the Outsider, there was a different avatar. And the avatars weren't always human.
>These types of games could benefit greatly from mod tools
>it'll never happen because consoles
ree
Lads, in celebration of Dishonored 2 I decided to do a 100% non-lethal ghost playthrough of Dishonored (first time I played I just killed most of the enemies).
I unlocked possession and possessed some assassin faggot standing on a ledge. If I walk him into water, he dies but I stay alive.
I was wondering - does this count towards the kill count at the mission or does this count as the assassin killing himself?
>>341991509
This was going to be the first game I preordered in 10+ years, but not anymore. I'll buy it if it turns out good but now I'm considerably more cautious.
>>341995905
First off, Harvey Smith said that it was just his interpretation on The Outsider and nothing is set in stone yet.
Secondly, the Leviathan thing isn't fan-made. One of the books straight up says that the author of that book saw the Outsider looking and looking like a leviathan whale.
>>341997607
It most certainly counts as you killing him. In fact, if you knock someone out and they fall on a puddle of water and drown or get eaten by rats later, the death is your responsibility. So if you choke people out, make sure to hide them on rooftops or secure areas.
>>341996027
>>341996401
Leviathan theory is still interesting and both Void and Outsider are connected to whales.
Void is that are we already saw in dreams and during Delilah ritual. It is that flotaing shit area.
>>341997607
If anyone dies during a mission it fucks up Clean Hands. This is especially grating when you didn't cause the death at all; though you clearly caused the death in your example.
>>341971640
>baked lighting
>still looks borderline last-gen
>>341991509
and suddenly I'm uninterested
>>341995314
i call bullshit on that
Even if they turn Corvo Bisexual I cant imagine Dad Garrett sounding like he enjoys dick.
>"A cockring? How pretentious!"
Also Benny better make an appearance, doing those overused lines from Dishonored 1.
>>341997987
>>341998124
K, thanks. Guess I'll have to put them to sleep as usual then.
>>341998103
I mean, I know that that's what the void is, but like... what IS it? Why does it exist and stuff?
>>341997987
And yet funnily enough, burning unconscious bodies on fireplaces doesn't count as a kill.
I noticed that when I killed the Lord Regent on my most recent playthrough.
>>341994240
Yeah, but Dishonored has good level design and isn't hundreds of hours of riding a horse through the same forests and swamps.
Playing through 1, blink is so fun holy shit

Area of magic in the world. Or rather slowly devouring it, as some implies. Had other avatars then Outsider in past. Connected to whales in some way.
That Dishonored 2 gameplay made me bring out the first game. Going for a non-lethal+ghost+no power run. The game is super short. Should I buy the DLCs?
>>341995249
This is basically SJW-The game, are you really that surprised?
>>341998976
Yes. The DLC's are practically two other campaigns, and are well worth the price.
>>341991509
>Is a writer
WHICH CAN ESSENTIALLY MEAN NOTHING SINCE WRITERS ARE FREQUENTLY SHUT DOWN
>>341998976
Yes. Game took me around 10 hours with that kind of run. DLCs are fucking best part of game. More Thiefy with documents and atmosphere.
>>341998976
>>341999071
The DLCs are so fucking worth it. They're better than the main game in several ways, even. If you didn't get why people consider Daud a relatable, badass character before, you will after you play the DLC.

I don't know why people are surprised by the gay thing. Harvey has been pretty SJW for as long as he's been relevant.
Doesn't really matter, though, as he's an excellent game designer.
>>341975994
no for real though, fucking leave, redditfag
>>341976586
I wish I could do things like that. Maybe I'll try to play Dishonored 2 like that. Probably fail to do cool stuff though.

Guys, Emily is clearly a lesbian.
Just look how she's reaching to that female guard with a phat ass at 0:53
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNFtACeifcU
Same way Corvo reached to Jessamine when she died
>>341993624
he actually does respond
welp
>>342000993
The person asked if gay characters would be prominent and/or targets and the dev just said prominent. Meaning they'll be prominent characters but no confirmation there will be gay targets, which there obviously won't be.
>>342002881
I said I'll play it if it's good. But now I have my doubts about its story. If it's just preachy crap I won't bother.
>>342003726
ask him if playing as corvo firest won't ruin the game
i'm really afraid they focused all their efforts on emily
>>341974880
she's most likely bi, although she'd prefer women over men, she'd take both
she probably wanted to get dicked by daud but never got it
Glad they're trying to minimize loading screens during gameplay. That always annoyed me in the first game even if the loading screens were really quick.
Hopefully we get the system requirements soon. Out of all the games that have come out in the past few years, this game is the one I want most to not be a shit port. Considering this is Arkane it shouldn't be but then look at what happened to Remedy.
Will they let retards playtest D2 like they did D1?
>>342005103
There was an article a few weeks ago about how playtesters were finding uses and combinations of powers that Arkane hadn't anticipated, so either Arkane is stupid, the playtesters are good or "unanticipated usage" means blinking into the wall then using stop time to shoot yourself.
>>342005348
They were doing the same thing during the development of the first game. That's how they found out about being able to possess a guard and move them in front of their own bullet or put razor mines on rats.
And it'll probably be the same with 2 as I think Bethesda gives them playtesters.
>>342005103
Fuck that sounds embarassing af
>>342005103
Probably.
Considering they confirmed that you can turn off the powers and still play the game you can expect it to be braindead as fuck.
>>342005708
You could play the first one without powers.
>>341995017
he is her biological father
>>341999459
Pretty sure Emily could kick people in the e3 demo
>>342005856
Blink was still required like three times in the entire game, which makes it extremely frustrating when you must use it, but otherwise it's pretty nice to go no powers.
>>342005929
So?
>>342006214
Someone should ask Harvey if it is an actual attack or some context sensitive thing or a slide or something.
>>342003774
Pretty sure you could technically kill anyone in dishonered but you'd get a game over state right after
>>342006961
I don't remember there being anyone you could kill in Dishonored that would get a game over. Maybe some of the people at the Hound Pits Pub but I never tried.
>>342006976
The line you're thinking of in that post is I think about a kill animation when Emily is going to turn off that wind powered wall of light thing, not the kick in that webm.
>>342006610
We dark messiah now.
>>342007193
Killing the Hound Pits pub guys meant game over, yeah.
>>342006610
Honestly, if they really put in a kick and other combat mechanics from Dark Messiah (charged attacks, directional attacks, improved physics, picking up and throwing stuff and body parts, etc) Dishonored 2 would be instantly propelled onto my must-buy list. I've been waiting for a sequel to Dark Messiah since 2006.
>>342007667
You could already pick up and throw stuff and body parts in the first game. There's even a video where a guy decapitates a guard and throws the head at another guard to stagger him.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bndfh0xe-bk
>>341999167
The second Knife Of Dunwall mission was the first full level Arkane finished, so that's why it's even Thiefier.
>>342008149
Damn Pull is awesome.
If Far Reach is a clever amalgation of pull and blink, it's going to be awesome as well.
>>342008387
It will be from what they said. You'll at some point be able to pull items and enemies towards you.
>>342007842
The fuck? Where was the throw button? I only remember being able to put bodies down.
Never played Dishonored, worth a pirate?
>first person action game
Why?
>>342008557
You press F to pick up items or body parts. You hold it to pick up bodies. Then you press the lmb to throw them. You can't throw bodies too far though but you can throw body parts and items a decent distance. You can't pick up everything but you can pick up bottles and even rats as you can see here >>342008149
>>342006475
When do you have to use it other than when you first get it?
>>342008557
If you left click you can throw the stuff you're carrying, while F will "gently" put them down.
You can throw whale oil tanks as grenades that way.
>>342008662
Indeed. I believe so.
>>342008662
Worth purchasing you god damn nigger.
>>342008715
Why not?
>>342008742
Once or twice in the waterlock during the Regent's killing, once right at the Flooded District beginning when you got to escape from the whalers "prison".
And I can't remember if you have to use it during the part where you retrieve your gear. I think I did it without but can't remember very well...
>>342008734
I'm pretty sure you can only pick up rats with Daud's pull ability.
>>342008734
>>342008773
i knew about throwing stuff like whale oil but i didn't know bodies were throwable too. Thanks anons
>>342008848
I doubt you'll believe me, but if I pirate it and like it, I buy it.
>>342008387
Pull was so much fun. Taking shit from people from a distance was the best after playing the old Thiefs.
>>342007193
>he didn't bathe with Callista

I'll have to try next time I play since I'm pretty sure you can do it in the base game too.
super complete edition is 10 bucks on PSN rn
>>342009276
>30 fps
I have no idea how they couldn't make it 60 on current gen. All they improved graphics wise is add POM and better quality ssao. The PS4 version doesn't even have anisotropic filtering I don't think.
