Barring some unforeseen upcoming disaster, this is probably going to end up my GOTY at this point.

Wow what an experience.

I agree that this game is great, but I got really frustrated last night in the flooded district level. I am going for a no kills and no alerts and the game is very challenging and requires you to think and try different things.

Is it possible to disarm my weapons?

You mean put them away? Just hold down square (X on 360).

Spoiler

I just killed High Overseer Campbell.

That level alone took me about 3+ hours, as I did everything I could, and took the time to find all the runes, etc. My play style has basically been stealthy assassin. I kill almost everyone, mainly using Blink, and my sword. I also use the crossbow to put enemies to sleep occasionally, and I just acquired the power to summon a swarm of rats to devour bad guys and dead bodies.

There is so much replay value and freedom of choice in this game that it's just absolutely ridiculous. I LOVE it.

I thought it dragged near the end. I'd be interested to see what you think of it when you finish.

Yes, but I am on PC.

Can someone tell me what this game is really about I've tried reading some review but I don't guess in really understanding what's the point. Why is there revenge?

I'm contemplating picking it up later today, and wondered if it was worth the pick up

You are the Emperesses bodyguard, and you are framed for her assassination.

Probably the best way of putting it without spoiling anything.

Worth the buy???

Worth the buy???

If you like games like Hitman or Thief then for sure.

Re: Dishonored

Finished last night with no kills and no alerts. It was fun, but got frustrating at times. Basically, the game really lagged starting with the flooded district mission. The payoff at the end was

underwhelming

I can see why people say it is short. If you speed through it, don't collect things and don't use a stealthy approach you can finish each mission very quickly (i.e, 10-15 minutes).

I probably played 10-12 hours though and getting a no kill/no alerts, plus all the side missions/collectibles takes a long time.

The best thing about the game is that there are so many ways to complete your mission and it really rewards you for thinking outside the box a little.
