The story responds to your choices, leading to intriguing outcomes as you play through each of the game’s hand-crafted missions.

Very much enjoyed the first one, but there was a HUGE dichotomy between the "Kill everyone" and "Kill No one" paths. In that the first one was fun as hell, and had awesome powers, and the second path was basically a big, boring snooze.
Needless to say, in DH2, I'll be slaughtering everyone like cattle.

The only level I can't decide on is the flight level. Is it more fun to have fire-and-forget and blast apart Fokkers from 50 miles out without ever seeing them (or them seeing you), or more fun to just fly Mach 10 through them, disintegrating them upon contact? The latter is probably much harder.

I liked the setting but I couldn't get into the gameplay.
As you guys already pointed out, going stealthy was pretty boring and felt tacked on. But I have problems with the combat gameplay too... I don't really enjoy games that make you an untouchable god and that's how the combat felt. It was the same reason I couldn't ever get into Crysis with it's invisibility, speed, and super strength. I want to be barely making it through fights, not beating up dummies who don't even have a chance to react.

yeh it was bullshit lip service to offer a "non-violent" option... its like they said "lets just remove the violent bits... and... DONE!"
happens in games a lot id say... usually at least one bullet point feature is largely an afterthought at best

They've also got Stephen Russell (Garrett) as Corvo.

I found it significantly better than Thief, but that's because combat was an option. Screw up and you can fight your way out, or you can zip into the shadows and try again. Thief was much, much more unforgivingly stealth based. That, of course, is the point to some, but as someone that hates stealth as a primary mechanic yet loves it as a secondary (in other words, I love being able to, and being heavily encouraged to, sneak around, but I hate if success in the game depends on success in stealth), this game was about perfect.
Heretic! Nothing is better than Thief.
I get what you`re saying though, but that for me was the problem with Dishonored - the stealth was undercooked, so I kind of gravitated towards fighting.

Enh, I was pretty meh about the first one. Just didn't grab me at all. If I get this it'll be on a deep discount.
You lead a miserable, joyless life. What do you like?
Some people just don't like Steampunk. Not that Cutter likes anything, but that was the problem in my case. A single player FPS Steam-punk game ala Thief, but not as good as Thief, was not really something that attracted me too much. I skipped it as a result, despite a lot of my friends playing and loving the game. Not my cup of Tea. Peace out.

Hyped. Kind of disappointing that they went with two protagonists instead of just Emily when she's clearly the focus. Most likely a marketing decision, as Bethesda probably didn't think a game with only a female lead would sell.
I'd hate to think this would be the case, but you're probably right.
One of my favorite games of all time, Perfect Dark, has a female lead and I couldn't care what gender she was, she's just a bad ass character regardless. It's sad that people still can't get past that stuff.
you know video games are mostly marketed to children and young people, right? you expect children and young people to "get past that stuff"?
