Watching a stream with the game, a couple of hours in, a cutscene loses the voice a couple hours later the game freezes, when rebooting the game wont start (until power gets cut and the game rebooted a couple of times(some times console didn't seem to even boot up). Looked kinda scary!

Tons, if you time your block right, you can press the choke out button and knock the person out, use sleep darts, confusion darts, or run away. You can also use slow time, blink, possession, or far reach.
Just gotta utilize your moveset.
Choke out just gets them murdered by their own kind. Have zero stun darts. Running away does not seem to work at all on certain levels, considering the amount of guards that get alerted
Gets them murdered by their own kind? What?

Ya the other threads and some twitters are filled with folks reporting more console freezes. I just dont get it.

Rats keep eating my corpses dammit. I'm gonna have to instinctively start throwing them on things. Stupid Rats. Non lethal, not Eat Everything.
They slash at me and kill the guy I'm choking out.
Edit: I guess I should mention every time I get seen I get attacked by like three dudes at once.
3rd mission was pretty cool to go through. Apparently missed quite a few coins lol. I probably get through Clockwork mansion later tonight.
Yeah it can happen if another guard is attacking you while you choke holding someone. I guess the game sees it that you using the guard as a meat shield or whatever.

Instead of taking time to choke them, throw them immediately and you can kick them when they're staggered after that for an instant knock-out. More options are slide attack into knock out, chloroform bottles, throwing shit at their head to knock them out or stagger, etc.. As far as powers go they are almost all useful for non-lethal route. Mesmerize and doppelganger can act as instant crowd control or escape measures, fully upgraded Far Reach seems great for quick take downs in combat as well. There's also 3 different kinds of non-lethal crossbow darts.
Oh I thought you meant they like killed them after you had already knocked them out haha. Umm yeahhh if you're getting spotted by 3 guys at once you should rethink your approach.

I think I'm gonna have to do this. Going as stealthy/non-lethal as possible is just a bit more effort than I'm willing to put into things at this particular moment.

Uhhh. Does the performance get better? I'm on the PS4 Pro (1440p monitor at a buddies place whose on a TV with a standard PS4) our performance is pretty much identical and I don't see any obvious advantageous. We both seem to be getting sub 30 fps and the controls are extremely sticky.
We've only played the tutorial so far.

I was pretty down on this after Mission 4, but I loved Mission 5. Really hoping the
were just a one-off thing because I did not enjoy them at all.

Yeah I have to say the game is great but the engine doesn't seem to be performing well. On an OG PS4.
I'm also finding it pretty tough :| Didn't have too much trouble with dishonored but I'm just finding the toolset has been toned down, enemy placement is more aggressive, getting spotted is easier and combat is tougher. Playing on normal too. I'm sure I'm just not good but it's been a bit frustrating. Every rune is surrounded by bad guys too.
There are some runes that seem impossible to get without being attacked by like three guards. Level 3, fwiw. Only have blink, bend time and dark vision right now.
Least in some cases, you can distract them with a throw-able item, and blink in to grab the rune when they are busy checking out the noise.

No.
When you say sticky I am not sure if you mean the input lag that folks found or something else but the GFX continue to fluctuate on all console versions all the way through.

Refunded.
I don't like the AI in this game. Civilians in particular act completely irrationally and can easily mess up stealth runs.
Hopefully they drastically improve things with patches. Was really looking forward to this game too.

100% no-kills runner read
I found workaround for 100% no-kills ruining bug in the Mission 05. Kinda amazing how sloppily they have made that check.
Earlier today when I was running this mission I came across bug that when I did nonlethal takedown on primary target of mission I also ended up killing 1 to 3 random NPC's. Effectively ruining 100% no-kills playthrough. After doing some testing I was able to come up with theory and test it, workaround was found.
Here is what I recommended for everyone doing M05 and aiming for 100% no-kills;
Also create e.g. quick save just before doing nonlethal takedown, just in case.
If you are completionist you need to do this, you can watch whole cutscene. I skip.. for reasons, but execution is important; https://gfycat.com/IdealPossibleBigmouthbass

Here is what I recommended for everyone doing M05 and aiming for 100% no-kills;
- Create hard save at beginning of mission and when entering target area
- When within target area ignore as many NPC's as possible, do not knockout them!
- Figure out how nonlethal takedown works in this mission and then execute it with as many as possible NPC's still up and about. Being fast helps and not being shy with use of saves.

Thats the input lag most likely. Testers said it was 15-25ms more than the previous title.
Sadly ya right now its reactions to things can appear off.
The blood flies will infect and kill anyone you choke out and dump near them. Oops.
I get what you are saying about the civilians, but they actually react realistically in this game vs. a lot of other games. If you go into a civilian's house they will warn you to get out and if you linger too long they will freak out and call the guards. If you steal from a shopkeeper and they see you they will call the guards. If you are someplace you don't belong in a hostile zone they will warn you to get out and call the guards if you don't. Or if you are someplace you really don't belong they may get immediately frightened.
I think the best part of the game is the level design. There are tons of alternate paths and finding them is a lot of the fun for me. I'll notice something and follow it back and realize I could have skipped a whole part of the map if I had paid better attention to my surroundings. And those paths will be really good to know about if I want to do a ghost run.

Yeah I don't get what the other poster means by they act irrational. Don't fuck around near them, don't fuck with their stuff. If you're in their apartment or Chapter 3

He's in the
lab area (Conservatory?) with Dr. Whatsername. He's in the back office part of it.
Thanks. I looked there earlier, but missed him somehow lol.
Lol in the 4th mission I ended up
Thanks for the heads up. I keep this in mind if I get through with it before they fix it.
robbing the black market. Kind of amusing how you do it.

I just figured out you can throw chloroform bottles and it will knock out groups.
Anyone who finished?

Well Night 1 completed.
Made it partially through Chapter 4.
I'm loving Far Reach, makes transversal a breeze.
However I feel like my combat is muddled, I've died 39 times on Normal difficulty, some being Darwin Award worthy stupidity but maybe it's because I'm playing on PS4 and not Xbox 360 anymore but combat just seems stiff and unresponsive compared to the smooth fluid nature it was on Dishonored 1.
Also I'm not really sold on this story as much as I was the first game but it's still a solid game. The constant dying and reloading is a bit of a bore though.

Well at least they're aware of it and going to resolve to fixing it.
Also how many chapters are there in this game? I remember I beat Dishonored in a few days but I'm sure I'll be replaying this game.

Absolutely a huge mistake as compared to important decisions and paths instead like choosing to side or help X or Y. Decide in the situation etc. Simply whether you kill people or not is what killed a lot of my enjoyment in the first game.

I can see why Bethesda did allow review copies if this is true.
Chapter 4 completed.
Clockwork Mansion was quite interested to go through, as I had hope for.

Like the little puzzle (aka charging up the machine) needed to complete the non-lethal way for Jindosh. Kind of feel bad for him lol, as he was bit of a joy to listen to when he knows you are around, and has created some nice inventions.
The clockwork soldiers were okay.

Huh something feels off about how this game controls. I turned sensitivity up to 60 and that's helped a bit but it still feels a bit heavy. I read about input lag but it also seems like there might be performance issues?
Is it locked 30 on the pro?
Also...leaning. Guess you're not hidden anymore? Yeah it was op in the first game but now it seems useless as guards seem to see you right away.
