Quick question, forgive me if it's already been answered: are there any story changes with a no-powers playthrough?

Dishonored 2 |OT| The Edge of the World

Yeah I definitely want to know this too.
It's the "Friction" slider in Controls. It really fucks with input lag and no idea why it's even turned on.
StealthGamerBR put up his first Dishonored 2 video. It's more of a tech test/proof of concept than anything but it's still entertaining.

He always makes it look so easy.
Finished it. Really loved the game. Ending was a little anticlimactic, but still good. Last level was nothing special, but still fun.
I kind of broke the game with Linked Possession and the Separation Trauma bone charm. You can take out a whole room nonlethally that way haha. Kind of unfair, but fun. Corvo is really good at stealth with a fully upgraded kit. Got low chaos no problem.
Now got high chaos Emily run. Just finished mission 1. I have up say, chaos is really fun after playing the entire game careful heh.

Agreed. The city parts are good levels, but they fuck with the pacing quite a bit. If Dishonored had a more "just actual missions" approach, like Hitman, slicing out the City parts but adding another "actual mission" or even just expanding on the actual missions to have a bit more context/area, it would have worked much better.
I'm super stoked to get to the Clockwork Mansion or whatever, but I'm stuck rooting around in the gutters in a city instead. It's still great gameplay and a great adventure in a great environment with great backstory, but it doesn't feel vital to the experience.
when he throws the grenade and then pulls it back to blow up the dude
i am disgusted

6.5 hours and only in Chapter 2. Haven't even left the neutral area yet 
I'd be the worst 'lets play' person to watch.
Love how the apartments really feel lived in. They are gorgeous to walk around. The level of detail is like you'd see in some "walking simulator" games.

My favorite part is how "hot" it feels. Walking around in one of the apartments with the windows open and fans going.. it just feels like it'd be a hot, humid place to live.
That video was fucking dirty

Bought the PC version day one, immediately bought PS4 (pro) version afterwards. Sure its not native 4K but it actually runs and is playable. I'm sure the PC version will be patched but if you just want to play with no bs... PS4
PS4 Pro version is decent, but "no bs" is a stretch.

So is Arkane aware of the issue at least?

Make a note. Remove this playback after the final field test.

I've had two missions now of non-lethal takedowns where somebody seems to be dying after the fact, I would be more frustrated if I was planning on multiple playthroughs.
It happened occasional during the original game due to rat swarms, but I have no idea what's causing it in this game, especially in first two missions.

Only if someone claims random stuff without backing it up with, you know.. facts.
Game definitely has a latency problem with the controls, and i didn't need anyone telling me that.
Didn't think I'd say this but I think I prefer Far Reach over Blink as a traversal mechanic. FR seems to have further range (particularly vertically), it can break falls from any height, and the way you can manipulate your momentum with it can be somewhat useful (though admittedly very situational).
Since FR isn't instant, I thought it was going to be much more noticeable to enemies than Blink is but I hardly notice a difference between the two.
This isn't even considering FR's ability to pull enemies and objects. You can stealthily pull loot out from behind glass cases with it, too (a bug?). Blink's time stop is nice, and to be fair, I haven't yet tried Blink's knockback or whatever, but FR is really darn cool.

This guy is doing really great runs as well, except the audio mixing on his videos is awful for some reason:

Does the heart not show all the collectibles?! I always case the levels and end with something like 6/12 runes.

It was the second big level, the hospital.

Since I'm doing a no powers run should I completely ignore runes for this playthrough?
That's a single section stage I believe so the heart should see them all.
Can you still power up physical attributes in a no power run?
There's no reason to pick them up, although if you pick the ones up at the Outsider shrines, you'll get a little cutscene.
Frame rate is actually solid for me on the Pro, but I finished my first play through in the game with about half a dozen crashes over about 12 hours. No real consistency in the failures; blinking to windows, quick saving or even just picking up a bottle to throw and I ended up on a blue error screen. PS4 version does have it's problems for sure.
If it's still like the first game then nope.
I disagree. I think the city environments really let the player experiment with different approaches to getting to objectives. Mission 6 especially. And mission 8 I feel had a stronger "city section" than the actual objective.
I do think the first couple city areas aren't as good, though. But they give the player more room to mess up and experiment, whereas the objective mission areas are more rigid, albeit not a lot.
Yeah, there are six ruins in the Addermire Institute level and the heart shows them all, as well as all five bone charms:
But he's not the first person to miss collectables despite using the heart, so I think it can bug out in certain cases.
Well... I know one case where you
have to get two bone charms off Breanna Ashmore
Heading into chapter 6, after like 20 hours.
"Hey mates, I still can not make Dishonored 2 videos because the game was broken for PC, this video was recorded with the graphics almost all on the medium/low and it was only with 30fps, and I'm running the game with a Gtx1080, Volound, Clockner And other friends are also having the same problem, and this is just the performance problems the game has a lot of problems if it is compared to Dishonored 1, the bloodthirsty works in a ridiculous way, regenerating the mana bar is not fast enough For a combination of powers,it is impossible to dodge sword slashes like we did in the first game, so I'll wait for Arkane Studios Release the miracle patch to solve the problems mentioned, thank you for understanding everyone, cheers."
Guess we won't be seeing a ton of videos from him for this game like for the last one.
