1:08 To be fair though, that wouldn't exactly be an easy conversation for him even if he did talk. Allow me to demonstrate: (Guards come in) Guard Leader: He's killed the Empress! Corvo: It wasn't me, I swear! Guard Leader: You're the only one here! If it wasn't you, then who did? Corvo: Ummm... a bunch of magical assassins who teleported away before you got here? Guard Leader: ... Corvo: I'm going to prison, aren't I?

Shall we gather for whiskey and cigars tonight?

The one thing that annoyed me about the moral choices is that you get all this cool shit to use, but it's mostly lethal. I mean in Deus Ex they at least offered you different skills and weaponry in order to play a stealthy/pacifist run.

In my game, the guards seem to question the people in charge and regret what they have done

So, it turns out, in the next game, Corvo is going to be having a voice. And the voice will be Stephen Russell. Who voiced... Garrett from the first 3 Thief games. That is some straight fucking meta right there. Everyone says Dishonored is basically trying to be Thief, so they basically said, "yeah, you know what, no point in hiding it anymore"

lol Corvo got the job because he ploughed the Empress

this was probably my favourite stealth em up it's rare to find a stealth game that i was wanting to play again the day after i completed it

At least we can all agree he likes this far more than the new Thief.

I liked how the ending was based off of moral choices. I played through the game, not realising that I was being judged for my actions, hacking and slashing at anything that moved with only a couple of moments where I chose to be merciful. This lead me to be really shocked at the bad ending I got and really made me reflect on why I chose to play in a certain way and it even made me feel a tad guilty because of it. I think if a game can make you feel some kind of emotion and makes you reflect on yourself to such an extent it's a good one in my books.

What I hate is that some people can't seem to tell the difference between a silent protagonist and a protagonist who doesn't have a voice actor. You know, for example Gordon Freeman doesn't have a word of dialogue in Half-Life games, therefore he's a silent protagonist. On the other hand, Corvo Attano, Crono, Link, the Vault Dweller and Dragonborn have clear dialogue (or dialogue options) shown in text even though they aren't voiced, therefore they're just characters without voice-actors. See what I mean?

for some reason i fucking love this game like every criticism is valid but i fucking love it oh my god i dont know why it just really i dunno why I HAVE NO IDEA BUT I LOVE IT

"Slicing necks like your wife left you for a jugular vein" I must've rewinded 10 times after hearing that.

Characterization comes through using the heart imo. After playing through the game again using the heart on every single character and place I learned so much more about everyone and the story and it added a lot of emotion too.

As far as the characterization, I find I must disagree with Yahtzee rather strongly on this one. If you go for a nonlethal approach (no killing, sneaky sneaky) as opposed to a murderous one, you uncover FAR more of the world's lore. Which, I would propose, makes sense. Instead of shoving a steampunk dagger into the gullet of some poor chap, you get to hear what said gullet has to say of the world either through idle speech or conversing with another person. In addition, not offing people leads to more branching story lines.

0:56 For those who are wondering, that is indeed his actual face.

To some extent I agree with Yahtzee on silent protagonists. I have the DLC's so played as Daud and I found his story more interesting because I was able to grasp the character of the man, what he was doing and why. A blank slate like Corvo is just a reactionary character responding to what happens around for as Jim Sterling would put it "some reasons"....

Dishonored is a lot like Bioshock because Arcane Studios worked on parts of one the the Bioshock games and presumably took some mechanics they worked on for that and put it into Dishonored

for fucks sake its Corvo Attano

Maybe it was the art style, the world building, the epic optimization and performance on pc, or the story but somehow this game got me just SO damn immersed in it. I love this game. =]

I never quite understood whether the zero punctuation people liked a game or disliked a game but this is just hilarious.

We need more games where your reward for beating it is a popsicle.

hot damn, i love the way this guy turns a phrase and spouts ridiculously unexpected analogies

Slit pipes McGee, now there is an RPG character waiting to happen. dibs!

The game's moral choice system would've been a lot better if the game had never told us there was a choice. Shame how such a small thing can have a huge impact on the enjoyment of a game.

Just cause I feel I need to defend Dishonored, of course Corvo couldn't save the empress! What do you think facing supernatural assassins is a day to day job for him? The whole power thing is not something that's common, having the outsiders mark is essentially mythic in dishonoreds world.

Honestly dishonored is legit my favorite game, yes the silent protagonist is an odd choice, but I still fucking love it.

I have to say that i like the fact that the moral choice reasoning for how things fuck up, essentially boils down to: there is a plague, therefore: *mo' bodies = mo' plague*, so raising the death toll should have a very negative impact on the city. HOWEVER, that shit is essentially thrown out the window by the end, and what shocked me the most was how people were fucking reacting over my actions, i say this because during every single mission ending, whenever i had killed a shit ton of bad guys or not, i would be complimented, that is up until the very last mission when suddenly Samuel confused me for Hitler and fired a warning shot to denounce my location. And another thing that pissed me off is the fact that we have no fucking idea what the outsider is supposed to be, i read everything i visited all the shrines, but his presence is simply and almost non-existing, he's just there to give you powers. Nothing else. Overall this feels like someone had a great idea but no one wanted to invest on it, so we ended up with a pretty malnourished yet fun game that had a ton of potential, that failed to deliver.

3:00 Best Sword Fight Animation Ever!!

I love reading the comments from people who have never seen any other Zero Punctuation videos.

STOP THAT, NOAM CHOMSKY.

1st playthrough: murder everyone and everything, destroy mechanisms, bash sword against wall to draw even more atention and more manual, 1v1 bloodshed. 2nd: flashy technical and horrible assassinations, like *stop time*, *strong wind* then *blink*, *slap a frag mine on back of guard*, *time resumes* *a huge group of alerted guards is dismembered in 1.3 seconds* (takes a shit-ton of time to master and many reloads) 3rd: ghost, easy enough, a bit boring final pt: Shadow ash kill bloodshed, no corpses so good ending while murdering everything

Still more thief than the 2013 Thief

My biggest problem with Dishonored (and the DLC) was the lack of any way to check my no-kill/ghost status until the end of a mission, leaving me no choice but to redo an entire level if I screwed up, ad no way to be certain what my mistake was.

So have two save files with one being Dr. Jekyll and the other one being Mr. Hyde. Got it.

I dunno why but this episode has me in stitches everytime I watch it.

I played the whole game as a ghost, aka never being detected. But people still apparently still managed to have wanted posters of me with my mask

I remember being annoye a few hours in when i noticed the guards had random lines to pretend it was dialogue with a random response from the other so it started to feel cheap when i saw guards rolling the dice for a comment to the other on every stage... Deus Ex HR did in a good way by making them have an actual conversation about their superiors or the situation when you get near and after resume their patrols

I just realized what's always bothered me about Zero Punctuation. He never shows any gameplay. I realize that this show is not and never was intended to be a detailed look into a game, and having gameplay with it would ruin the whole thing, but the games Yahzee bashes are often really fun to play, and some people might walk away from reviews like this and not buy the game based on his word alone.

Usually I'm not too big on the silent protagonist thing either (as I kind of wish Link could actually speak and such) but I feel like it worked for this game because I imagined Corvo as some silent, shady, assassin/guardian that speaks through his actions most of the time and that the only time he would talk genuinely would be when he was with the Empress and Emily (presumably his wife and daughter) which made events have more impact and made him, imo, more badass. Also, for some reason, I was actually able to successfully feel like I WAS HIM (which silent protagonists can't usually make me do even though that's what silent protagonists are supposed to do in the first place) - especially with the kickass soundtrack playing as I was running and blinking around like a magical goddamn NINJA.

I like how you mentioned the morality aspect yet never mentioned the torture thing like how you argued that in epic mickey the good way of dealing with enemies was presumably more evil.

I don't know why people are so obsessed with getting the "good ending" that they don't just play the game the way they want to. The "bad ending" of Dishonored didn't punish you for being immoral; it just reflected the fact that you killed a bunch of people. If that was how you chose to play, why is that a problem. The game was not structured around moral choices. The explicit choices you made, i.e., how you disposed of your assigned targets, were morally ambiguous. The non-lethal method tended to be pretty damned brutal, condemning the target to a lifetime of agony instead of a quick death. The chaos system, on the other hand, led to changes in the environment that not only reflected but also encouraged your style of play. If you liked stabbing people in the face, you got more people to stab in the face. If you were sneaky, the environment became more conducive to sneakiness. Also, the "bad ending" was accompanied by a far more eventful and climactic final level, more than compensating for the bleak little post-game narration some people seem so afraid of.

1:30 "That's a combine zombie, a zombine. Hehe"

The world building was amazing. Especially the way they built Emily as a character. You got to see her before her mother's death, then rescue her, and she seems to have taken it rather well all things considered. She acts all proper when Corvo's about, but the moment he's gone she acts just like a kid. It makes her feel more real, and more like she's a person than a cardboard cutout that's a couple feet shorter than all the other ones. So I liked the characters. Though most of the good parts about them were hidden away in audio logs. Also I loved the level where it's a party, and you can sign your name in the guest book. If you do it as you walk in the guards will be alerted, because somebody read the guest list, and found out that assassin who broke out of prison a few days back is at the masquerade ball. I feel like they should've realized that when someone was shot outside.

"Stop that Noam Chomsky" I'm dead, send help.

Yahtzee and I apparently share 0.01% of a mind, as I also started my first playthrough of the game goon non-lethal (reloading a save if something went wrong, and another playthrough where I killed everyone like a cold blooded assassin on meth

For some strange reason, even though I have watched this and most of yatzees videos 3-4 times, it's only now that I feel obligated to post some rebuttals to his points. 1)silent protagonist: headcannon is that corvo is a mute. Timelines show that corvo knew the empress before her rise to power, so it makes sense that when he was appointed to be her bodyguard that all of the city would know his face. And when you think about dialogue choices, none of them branch to other dialogue. these quick rebuttals are from corvo's mind, explaining why they usually are so brash. simply, when corvo says "I have no need for your services, Peirro" he actually says nothing and just bolts in the other direction. this theory is proven further with the dlc. daud is fully voiced. so unless it was an artistic or plot decisions, why would they include full voice narration for the cheaper games, but not the more expensive, entry one? 2)I kinda believe this was done intentional. you weren't supposed to like any of the loyalist that essentially use corvo as their weapon. Havlock its crude and destructive, Martin is powerhungry, Pendleton is a gluttonus asshole, hell, even the maids were meant to be unlikable, lydia was a bitch unless you caught her by surprise the first day, then she spends the day hitting on you, and wallace is a massive asshole if you listen to how he talks and what the heart says. funny enough, the gaurds are more human then the loyalists are. I felt a guilt I didnt feel again untill spec ops: the line when I heard a gaurd shout "The man you killed had a wife and kids asshole" or "I'll have a drink for the men you slaughered today" and funny enough, this ends with a point I found really out of character for yatzee. He praised the story and world building in the dark souls series, but shuns it here. Did he not stop to read anything? the lore is massive in that game. its dizzying. Some of the most interesting characters are side ones, like granny rags. I expected more from yatzee to not take things only at face value and never explore 3)The rpg elements: the game wouldn't be as amazingly versatile and the combat would not be nearly as fun without them. And honestly if your running away from enemy forces, then your doing something wrong. shots can be parlayed while you shoot the man aiming a gun at you in the leg, then you proceed to slaughter an entire squadron. Ideally, the last level is the easiest because of this, because by then you've leveled up to the point of god form, and you just had to fight your way through daud and his men who are near as superpowered as you 4)The moral choice system: I found it fitting. I'm probably the only one who did but, oh well. I feel like If you fell into temptation and slaughtered everything in sight, that you deserve a slap on the wrist. And hell, the way i played i deserved way more then just a slap on the wrist. It makes no sense that the game would go "wow, you killed most of the population, giving endless food for these monster rats. good work! happly ever after". The game gives you ammunition for doing things the violent way because it wants you to give in and turn into a vengeful spirit. like the outsider, watching you. He expects you to run in and slaughter everything, but the only way you suprise him is if you do things nonlethal. And the only way you cand end up with bland corvo ending is if you do half and half. either slaughter or save, then you get the tital of masked demon or saint, respectively. I don't know why people didn't expect that all in all, a fair review, but not up to the standards we hold him up to today. the fact that he sprinted headlong into the game without any exploration is a little saddening, and I hope that it didn't stop anyone from actually playing and enjoying the game

Along the same lines, one thing I really didn't like about the moral choice aspect of Dishonored is that if you are going for the good ending, the sleep darts are your best tool but it doesn't give you the option to use them on a regular basis. Seriously, they worked perfectly and they were easy. You snipe someone from a distance, creep up to hide their bodies, and done. They were amazing and I loved them. It would just be nice if you could carry more than a small handful of them. There were upgrades to pretty much double the amount of normal bolts you could carry, but not much of anything for sleep darts. There weren't all that many you could find during missions either. Once I figured that out, I kind of said fuck it and went for a mid chaos ending. I don't really care about being a perfectionist in gaming, since I would rather play a game for its story, enjoy it for what it is, then move on then spend hours and hours trying to get slightly different endings.

I like coming up with ideas for games. These days, I heavily consider what Yahtzee amd other KZfaqrs might say about the ideas to keep myself in line

One of the things that made Dragon Age: Origins so special to me was that it didn't have a binary moral choice at the end and even when the choices were binary, they certainly weren't black and white.

i don't count dishonored as a stealth game but rather an action game with stealth elements because i think a stealth games are fun because of the tension that come from the fear of being caught and there is no tension when i know if i am caught i can just slice my way through everybody and it would be infinitely easier. i could go for no kil runs but why would should i artificially increase the difficulty like that

"Surrounded by more pricks than the receptionist at the hedgehog nymphomania clinic." -why i love Ben Yahtzee

Slit-Pipes McGee shall be the name of my new rogue.

Can wait for Dishonored 2

The 'good' and 'bad' endings are weird, (Spoiler Alert) in that the good ending is boring, "I poisoned them, go ahead and save Emily", whereas in the bad ending there's an internal struggle going on and you have to save her at the last second

Dishonored's stealth was based more on line-of-sight and less on stick-to-the-shadows. It was really refreshing compared to other stealth games I've played.

LOLed at the robot voice and the imp slaying a guy and farting in his face. And I chuckled a bit at some funny parts too.

there are actually more than two endings, at least with few tweaks here and there

There are 3 Endings, so that means you can play 3 play throughs 1. Moderate Chaos- Be stealthy and murderous. 2. High Chaos- Kill everyone (Or at least a lot of them) Also I think there a 3 versions of the High Chaos. A. Save Emily B. Don't Save Emily C. Be as ruthless as you can in the play through kill everyone (EVERYTHING) 3. Low Chaos- Don't kill anyone (Except Targets). As long as 3 people or less don't die, your good.

Does anyone else binge watch these every 6ish months?

I tried to play Dishonored with a little bit of murder here and there... but then I found a note about how much a guard liked being alive and how much he missed his wife and then Emily started drawing me pictures and expressing concern over the scary villain in the city ~siiigh~ And then I started to feel like using spring traps to mercilessly rip off the limbs of guards might be a bit evil of me...

Can someone explain to me how me going on a murderous rampage through the city kills a little girls brain cells?

dishonored is a great game and did so much well. story, art style, gameplay,... Could have been better indeed and you make some good points. But it still scores way better than assassins creed, hitman,... for me

My recommendation for this game is to just ignore the moral choice system. I ended up playing trying to go stealthy and non-lethal as much as possible, but when I get found out just going with the flow and try to fight / flee then revert back to non-lethal until the muck hits the fan again. I found the ebb and flow of paced sneaking and frantic flailing much more fun then.

Sadly, most of the other sweet shops put their ferrero rocher in crap or sewage, so damp toilet paper isn't so bad.

There's a Reference to a Thief game in Dishonored. In the Assassin's Hideout in the Flooded District you can see an assassin being lectured how to sneak, with audio awfully similar to the original Thief. Thank you +Andrzej Romaniuk

If it wasn't for the fucking moral choice aspect this game would be 10/10 in my opinion.

i like how you implied it took some of thief's ideas, even though thief was made after dishonored

1:22 this is the best description of the game i've ever heard

It made much more sense to have the bad ending, because the empire was burning down already, and as the outsider points out, he says "the empire needed the right man do bring it down", the empress was killed, the lord regent was either killed by you or sent to coldrigde prison and Emily was just young, nobody could bring Dunwall back (based on your decision) but I never had such a good experience after playing the game, thinking that (apart from the outsider and the powers) the atmosphere and the story, could have easily happened in the past (obviously not) but you just had that feeling. The London setting, I absolutely loved! But when you get potrayed I thought the game was amense

I wonder what he thinks of the new Thief game

I have to say, listening to yahtzee talk for 13 hours is an amazing experience.

"Stabstravaganza" "...Like a surprise hate conga."

As one of my favourite games, I feel like you're being a bit unfair here. 1. The protagonist is Corvo Attano. Now that's out of the way... 2. He doesn't start off an assassin, and technically even if he was it would have been Imperial rather than Royal because he served the Empress. He starts off as a bodyguard and later becomes an assassin in order to avenge her death and put her daughter on the throne. 3. He didn't exactly have a lot of control over the Empress being killed considering he was being held four feet off the ground in a magic glowy-green tractor beam in addition to just having returned from a several month journey - by the Empress's orders I might add. 4. It was a frame job, Corvo couldn't have defended himself from the Spymaster and the High Overseer's accusations if he'd tried.

I got through the whole game without killing anyone but didn't get the no kills achievement because there were 7 deaths from guards SHOOTING EACH OTHER!!! >:( so I got that achievement at least. Also, you can non lethal escape pursuit pretty much by either sleep darting whoever spotted you (if it was only one or two guys) or legging it and teleporting over the nearest wall.

To the developer's credit, they wanted to voice Corvo but they ran out of time so they had to make him silent. Sort of why they got the dude who voiced garret from the original thief to voice him in dishonored 2.

I tried playing this, but my fear of rats only let me get 30 minutes in.

Honestly i a with yahtzee all making the protagonist silent has ever done for me is make them seem distant and difficult to relate to. I relate with and understand Lara Croft and Ezio Auditore because they have voices, opinions, and truly are fleshed out as people witch lets me to get more invested in the game.

i usually plays Dishonored when i am sick, its weird, i think its because there is nothing that could stay in my way for playing it(except being sick), i don't have to rush anything, things happens and its somehow more appealing to walk around in a rat filled rundown town that have a plague while sick, finishing the game without kill anyone and stuff like that. the only regret i have with the game is that i bought Deus ex Humman revolution before Dishonored, because Dishonored those EVERYTHING better them Deus ex HR maybe not the original but comparing Dex HR vs Dishonored, Dishonored dose everything better, the choices are more clearer and more things has impact on the world the combat feels better the stealth feels better you can actually switch style of play(in Dex HR you did pick something like hacking to be efficient in, and them you are kinda stuck in it, and hacking in dexHr is unbalanced.) the game is shorter but it uses ALL the game play time to its fullest. All along i am not buying Mankind divided because Dishonored 2 properly will do the same thing of outperforming Deus ex again.

Dishonered is a great reminder of the long forgotten stealth genre, main gripe I have is the game giving you a veritable smorgasbord of lethal tools and weapons to play with then low key chastises you for using them, like the springrazor tripmines. Those things are fucking sick, but I don't want to kill anyone so I don't use them so so much for that. Surely if they really want us to forgo killing people maybe they'd pad out your non lethal kit as well. Like how about a blackjack for knocking people out quickly but noisily? How about gas/shock mines? How about noisemaker bolts? Or is that too obvious a rip off from Thiefs playbook?

My personal favorite game of all time. I love everything about it, especially the world design/atmosphere.

Mr. Croshaw, you're just now discovering my favorite way to play "morality" games? I've been doing that for years! For maximum cognitive dissonance fun, the first run I always play as the noble goody-two-shoes Jedi-wannabe. Then I replay as, well, "Mr. Yahtzee Croshaw", i.e. evil but lovable %^&*^^^%%%^^, dining on the hearts of orphan kids while making charming and witty one-liners. :)

This game disappointed me, I was expecting a big open world full of missions and fun and getting around the city without being spotted and stuff like that. What i got was a short level based romp through a cool setting that re-used levels for different missions. Plus I hate it when killing is bad, sometimes blood needs to be spilled, Corvo isn't Batman, he can fight crime and still have a joyous time slitting throats. Why have a knife and crossbow if you aren't gonna use them? (sleep darts, or whatever they were, aside)

My curiosity made me look. I shat out my eyesockets.

I'd like to believe that with silent protagonists, it plays out like in Half-Life where that the character does speak, you just don't hear him.

I loved Dishonored, but I loved the Knife of Dunwall/Brigmore Witches DLC even more, due in part to abandoning the silent protagonist thing. Really hoping they continue with voiced protagonists with Dishonored 2, though that would in part involve getting a voice for Corvo for the first time. I at least hope they voice Emily though.

well i prefer silent protagonist, it does help roleplay so ha ha hahaha

ive played the entire campaign/ dlc campaigns of dishonored with different playstyles over 10 times

"Slit-pipes McGee." Lmao

For me, the moral choice just drained all my interest and i didnt even bother finishing the game because i want to play the game my preffered way while still getting a decent ending and Dishonored just doesnt allow you to do that.

Dishonoured is one of my favourite games of all time, but I always hated how the good/bad endings were tied to how many guards I killed. I'm not sure if there's a better way to go about it, perhaps have the morality effect something else, but I never got to play Dishonoured the way I *wanted* to, and that was disappointing.

It annoys me when people say the bad endings were incomplete. The only reason it felt like that was because it wasn't all sunshine lollipops and goodness, and it was actually a BAD ending. You caused the chaos. It isn't like mass effect where you can go into a sequel and people forget about most of the things you've done, even if it was something super evil. You threw a kingdom/city into hell, and people don't plan on forgetting it. It would be a cool idea to see a sequel of Corvo trying to redeem himself, and try to set everything straight, but I don't know how it would be like if you got the good ending...

I'm glad that the silent protagonist trope is slowly going away. I get more invested when the character I'm playing has an actual personality to connect to. I can find things to relate to the character

Well, I agree with the killing part in the game. There should be a penalty for killing people, especially innocent guards just doing their job. It makes sense to have a worse ending, and most importantly of all, the goal CAN be accomplished without killing innocent people, but it's harder to do (Much like Thief, a game I've really gotten into in the last few weeks). What I don't like is the ghost achievement. Not being seen ever? That's fucking bullshit. It's unnatural to have to load up your game so much. The problem is, by letting people see you, yeah, they get a little riled up, but they still know you're around, even acknowledge it in the game. The problem that I have with this is that it can happen by accident (you getting seen) while killing someone is a cognitive thing. You decide if you kill someone or not, so it's easy to just decide to not kill anyone. If you do, something went wrong in your brain. By that logic, you can go through the whole game without using quicksaves. On the other hand, you can get seen quite a lot. Thief wasn't bullshit like that. You just can't kill anyone, that's the point. If you get seen, you're on your own (run and run, close doors behind you and hide in a dark corner, then hope the guard didn't hear you hide there) just DON'T kill anyone. It's much more natural. In Dishonored, I hate how I have to reload any time anyone catches sight of me. It breaks the game's pacing even more. I'd much rather choke a dude, be seen, then run for my life and hide in a dumpster or something. That's natural. BUT THAT'S NOT ALL! The absolute worst part is, that the game likes to prank you. In Thief, if you accidentally kill someone (like hit him too hard with your blackjack or something) then the game is like "whoa whoa, where do you think you're going? You fucked up! Now restart from your last save, dipshit!". So you know you just have to get through a level. In Dishonored, the game doesn't tell you if you've actually been discovered or accidentally killed someone. And there is absolutely no way to check that, either. The only way to know is at the end of a level. ONLY AT THE END can you find out if you fucked up. If you did, then tough luck, you have to repeat the WHOLE FUCKING MISSION again, because they don't even tell you where or who spotted you. I actually quit the game after mission 7, because it took me about 7-8 hours to beat that level, and at the end I found out I accidentally killed one person. ONE PERSON AND I HAVE TO REPEAT ALL OF THAT! THE ENTIRETY OF THE LONGEST MISSION IN THE GAME! No I will not! If the game fixed the flaw of not telling you if you fucked up, and removing the "not being seen" bullshit, I might like it as much as Thief. Actually no, it doesn't have interesting characters, the missions are more wide segments of a linear level that open maps, and the money doesn't mean much at all.

This game is my 2nd favourite game. I love it. However.... I can't call it a stealth game with a straight face. It offers the option of stealth, the levels are designed in a way to allow stealth, but the AI is the kicker. It's just bad. I think anyone who has played the game knows what I mean.

Best youtube name EVER. Sir, I applaud you.

couldnt stop laughing at 'slit pipes m'gee' XD

Oh my, the game doesn't let me kill, because it holds the good ending hostage. Killing 30% of the guards on a level is Low Chaos. Completing 2 levels (for instance Dunwall Tower and Flooded District) on high chaos will not change the overall Low. Also, Kingsparrow can be completed in high chaos, because it doesn't matter to the ending. Playing stealth, killing only when there is no other way (choking bonecharm makes nonlethal as fast as lethal and it's easy to get early on), you can get good ending with a stable amount of corpses behind you. So all of you in the comments stop wanking about not being able to kill people. All your non combat upgrade money can go into fast working darts anyway.

So, does this guy LIKE any video games?

I found it really fun, I loved the DLC to play as the Prick that killed the Queen, and I openly accept the criticism you offer. You do present it comically.

Iron Tarkus was aware of this fact, but not that the timing was so recent. Thank you for teaching Iron Tarkus something new today. *Bow*
