Yes, this game has very ugly textures. The art style is great, but the tech behind it is pretty weak.

Good tip.
I set the journall to tab as I use it all the time. Didn't think about setting heart to tilde though.
Kill everyone. Leave no survivors.

You have a very real way of aiming. The crosshair is indicating a spot on your screen that doesn't move you know
There is also a zoom upgrade for the mask, as you surmise.
Finally, the immersion gained is fun for me, so, you know, pah!

Just finished mission 2, non-lethal and this game is bonkers. Loving the shit out of it. Doing a no-kill no-upgrade run. Was going for no alerts but somehow triggered 4 alarms in mission 2. Not really sure what's considered an alarm.
Any tips?
edit - forgot to mention that I had a few discovered bodies, but still there was no indication an alarm was triggered. No sound or enemies scrambling or anything.
After I branded the Overseer for the non-lethal objective, a guy entered the interrogation room (didn't see me), but saw the Overseer and called for an alarm. I figured that was scripted but idk. An alarm was never triggered by a guard seeing me.

It's in the settings, feel free to change.
Theoretically you could play the whole game at variable difficulty...

My plan is non-lethal stealth until shit hits the fan. Although I couldn't resist (first main mission spoiler)
unleashing the rats from the little room during the Granny side-mission. I almost felt bad when they tore apart one of the guards.
If the blast shields go down over the windows it's a sure sign that an alarm was triggered. I believe enemies will trigger an alarm if they find bodies, too.
Mine too.
Honestly, I don't want to kill anyone until I know what's going on. But if you come between me and my answers...

this game gaf...this fuckin game <3
Hmmm......I'm liking the game so far, but I'm not loving it. Granted, I just got blink, so I realize I'm not really even into the good stuff yet. But so far I find that world itself to be A++ (City 17 meets Rapture basically), but I haven't found the gameplay engaging or fresh yet and the plot is lol.

I found this to be the most comprehensive preview of the game if anyone is still on the fence:

The whole fun starts after you get blink and get on the boat to the first mission. That's when you're let off the leash.
Anyone else notice this? In the first mission:
See the second floor of thisbuilding? Notice the window on the left, and the solid wall on the right.
Now let's take a look at that room from the inside (keep in mind I'm looking in the opposite direction here so left/right are reversed). Notice the barricaded window on the left (where the wall was solid from the outside), and solid wall on the right (where there was a window outside).
You can even see to the outside from that barricaded window on the left.

It's shit that gets repeated ad nauseum in multiplatform threads, and frankly, it's tiring. Yeah, games look and run better on the PC. Show off some shots or whatever, but there's no need to keep rubbing people's faces with the PC version being superior, as if it's always a contest. Plus, the Master Race meme is both a) tired, and b) borderline offensive, so it really serves no purpose.
I think the visuals are phenomenal. The game runs fantastically well, with no microstutter or notable mouse lag to boot. With 4x SGSSAA, the game looks gorgeous and pristine. The art style is incredible and the textures are used to such a fantastic effect to create a unique looking world that I barely notice the fact that they're low resolution.
RE: the graphics.
I said this in the PC performance thread: This game is 2012's RAGE on a technical and artistic level - amazing, beautiful, cohesive world design that shouldn't be looked at too closely.
No doubt. I'm done for the night, but tomorrow I'll get into the meat of it and hopefully it will click for me.

Got my copy, got the pre-order tarot deck bonus and it's amazing looking. The cards are awesome, and the artwork on them is incredible. Probably my favorite physical game extra I've ever gotten.
Can't wait to jump in and play a bit.

I just used it to find one rune so far. And of course heard a bunch of different sound bytes when targeting different things. It's pretty cool.
It's the sad truths about the people you work with.

whaa? You think this game is on the same technical level as Rage? I don't think so...
It's modern UE3...so yeah, I'd say that's about right. Minus the megatextures...but we all know how those turned out in practice. Modern UE3 is a fantastic engine.
Things yes, but especially...
No, poor wording on my part. I wasn't doing a megatextures = ? comparison. What I meant was that, like Rage, Dishonored has a lot of muddy, low res textures that don't stand up at all to any scrutiny, and yet both games are testaments of artistic vision triumphing over technical limitations or gaffes.

Just bought the game.
And what a surprise! A reversible box art AND a colored manual. Its been ages since I've seen those.

This game bothered me a bit also, I turned down the look sensitivity on X/Y from 20(default on PS3)to 10 and this helped for me, might not be to your liking but worth a try. I play the Borderland/Halo/Bioshock games fine, but some weird reason some games Portal/Halflife games bothered me if played too long.
Trying my no kill stealth run on hard was too difficult for me on my 1st playthrough, maybe will try after beating it.

Cool, I'll hold off playing it too much if it's going to be coming in a few weeks.
