Delilah's nonlethal likely wasn't getting literally everything she wanted, Billy probably wouldn't be such an uppity cunt, and Sokolov likely would've said something about how hard magic was carrying Delilah's stupid ass. Gone for a few months and the capital is a literal fucking ghost town. Everyone can't get off Delilah's clit, but she runs everything into the ground to the point she has to rewrite reality to escape you and the Northern Islands from killing her. It's pathetic.
What are you talking about? Domino alone makes gameplay as Emily far more dynamic than gameplay as Corvo. The only real trash ability was Shadow Walk. I came in expecting to be able to tear apart people as a horrifying shadow demon, but all I got out of it was knock-out and kill animations that took fucking forever, which also killed me on difficulties higher than pacifier. It lets you breeze through stealth but it's not like that was hard to begin with. Should've let you possess people or corpses. Every time you went into someone or killed someone in that form should've increased its duration. Really be the goto High Chaos power and embody what Emily would be going down that route.
Domino just shares statuses between npcs. This means you can fling groups of people but in reality just means killing/knocking out 1 guard so that it clears a room instantly removing any reason to play the game in a game where enemies already can't harm you. Mesmerize also just disables a room of guards so thats redundant. Shadow walk doesnt work on higher difficulties and takes way too long to attack. Lastly her clone thing doesnt do anything, its only practical use is using it to drop assassination to avoid fall damage.
Distraction on higher difficulties so you're not immediately killed when fighting more than one person, a distant kill, a way to teleport to a location while distracting your enemies, and also something to use domino on.
how is this contradictory?
Yeah, it's pretty goofy and generic, but the main villain is portrayed as having gone crazy from decades of being the head of the Empire's secret police, so that's why his ideas are so insane.
The player is op in a 1v1 but things can certainly take a turn very quickly. The games needed more enemies like tall boys, music box overseers, and clockwork soldiers.
Dishonored 2 is more of a game of patience than it is a stealth game. It is absurd how much ground the devs want you to cover and how many enemies they want you to sneak by and without being detected or killing any of them.
I think focusing on the Kaldwin family after the events of the first game was stupid from the start. So is bringing Delilah back whose story ended with the DLC.
That was in Dishonored 2 with the "Corvo the black" ending that you get if you choose to leave your daughter trapped in marble and take the throne for yourself.
It's more about the reaction around the murder than it is the individual. If you give Campbell the heretic brand, then you can see him as a weeper in the bottom of the tall building that Daud tossed your gear in. But in reality it's better if he is disposed of and remembered as a traitor instead of being branded as a hero (which can heard from the propaganda broadcasts during the mission after his death) who fell to the hands of a cowardly traitor.
In the end it's just one guy murdering in a city that's probably with citizenship in the millions and at the verge of civil war and plague, the amount of damage he can do alone is really small, and it's all part of the mandatory 2010's games morality system that was way too simplistic and nonsensical with its results.
Dont forget it's better to knock out a woman and give her to her creepy stalker so she'll spend the rest of her life on his island getting raped.
It really sucks too since Prey 2 actually looked like it would have been kinda kino and tied into the plot of the first game. Bethesda's Prey is just so lame in comparison. If they had made it into another IP, I would be less partial to it, but as it stands I don't think it was very good and marketing the game as a sequel just makes it worse.
I think I might still have old magazines with previews and a poster of Prey 2, I would have to check. I was really looking forward to it, especially since I "upgraded" from a crappy family computer to my own xbox at the time.
That was a high point. Game should have let the player condemn more of the upper crust to a life of rape and misery.
Arkane will fill glacial Tyvia with niggers.
