Grenades were extremely useful against those

Haven't used them but they seem fine. Bone charms give you different passives depending on which you have equipped. 2 and 3 are pretty standard while 1 is probably one of the better ones, but I don't think it would break the game, unless the power duration is ridiculous.

thank you.
I was worried they might be overpowered items, so it's good to hear they probably aren't.
thanks again.
Squash half with a thrown whale oil container and pray the explosion takes out the other half.

Turn on subtitles I guess.
Whatever you're using for audio is either garbage or misconfigured. I have no issues understanding her or anyone else in the game via my Denon D7000's.

Two missions in, I can tell you it's quite amazing. Superb level design and amazing powers are the key words here.
Yup. I used to just stand on a ledge and stab them all but now I just throw them all at the wall.
What has become of the overseers? They wade through chest-high waters with their hounds.

One thing I didn't like about the game was the amount of books. Way too many. Don't get me wrong, I love reading, but when you put so many it really breaks the pace in my opinion.
They get added to your journal, read them when you have downtime if you want.

I'm ashamed to say that I just jump up onto the nearest table and knife them while screaming like a little bitch.
I thought about using a grenade or whale oil tank, but I'm going for a No Kill/Ghost/No Power Upgrade playthrough right now, can't risk an explosion attracting attention.

I set-up the Nvidia inspector and SweetFX settings and it looks better. I understand what they where doing with some of the muted colors but it's really a beautiful game this way. I wonder if a hi-res texture pack is coming?
Anyway now that I finished X-Com can't wait to get into Dishonored more.

According to this post, you'll have to replay from the first chapter you messed up, ie. if you didn't get Ghost at the end of Chapter 5, replay Chapter 5 again right through to the end of the game.
Don't know how reliable that post is though.

Is ultra hard only an option after completing the game?

First(?) mission spoilers:
EDIT: Nevermind. Wow.
I broke both the wine glasses, and followed Whatshisface and Campbell to his love den, where he kills that maid's uncle. Reloaded and knocked them both out, but it says to take her uncle's body to a safe place? Where, exactly?
EDIT: Nevermind. Wow.
I meant very hard mode, no idea why I put ultra lol.

Just finished the game. It took me 24 hours, playing non-lethally on Hard mode with the all the HUD elements turn off, and I absolutely loved it. Easily my GOTY this year. Even after spending so long exploring I feel like I barely saw half of what the game had to offer; I never bought half the powers, never fired the pistol, only got into a few sword fights shortly before a quickload. My ghosting efforts were in vain, though, because I didn't end up getting the non-lethal achievement. I think I can 100% confirm that the assassins you fight in the prologue of the game DO count towards the achievement, so don't kill those guys 
I started a new playthrough as soon as the credits were over, and this time I'll be killing eeeeveryone.

Does anybody have any kind of information on the budget of Dishonored?
To me this game feels like what I would call a 'medium' size budget games. Not in the range of something like Assassins Creed 3 but not some small indie game either.
I am interested in this because the middle seems to have been squeezed by the AAA games in recent years but also because even though I am enjoying the game it seems so small and limited in some ways.
Perhaps my mind has been corrupted by The Chaos God of AAA Big Budget expectations.

According to imdb it's $25 million. If that number is true it probably includes marketing too. I can't imagine this game costing that much unless it also includes marketing.
Edit: And before anyone makes a joke about how this game had no marketing. I did see a lot of ads for this game on websites. They also made a CG trailer and the Tales from Dunwall webisodes.

Is it true that Dishonored performes technically very well on both the PS3 and 360?

Yea a slight increase in saturation really makes the game shine. I love it.
It looks great on PS3 - really sharp and generally smooth.

You can't imagine it costing that much before marketing? I absolutely can. That's pretty low for AAA.

Jealous! I'm doing this kind of playthrough, but I got one person's body found in the Campbell mission. I'd like to have this answered too, I will try replaying the mission if that works.
EDIT: Already answered. Damn, sounds hard if you need the saves, I didn't know you you shouldn't shoot the assassins!

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
PS3 version has clearer textures, and higher frame rate in cutscenes but plenty of tearing and texture shimmering.
360 version has a bit of blurring in the general image quality because of weird FXAA implementation, but less aliasing, better frame rate during game play but lower frame rate at the cost of no tearing in cut-scenes.
So it's a toss up between sharper image quality with tearing, or FXAA-softening w/out tearing.

Is there a good way to set the fov permanently above 85 with the zoom function intact? I hate having to set it every time after loading. I re-load alot.
After searching around for game budgets it seems you're right. This industry is more screwed up than I thought...
I just jumped from one balcony to another one (Jason Bourne style) and drop killed an assassin.
Fucking amazing.
Had to enable objective markers for a bit because I was getting lost. I don't like how I accidentally trigger events before finishing side missions since I have no markers.

Just restarted the game and escaped the prison with no alerts or kills. Fucking amazing.
I've finally got to grips with just how much noise dropping an unconscious body makes. You have to be SO careful nobody is near otherwise they'll hear you...

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Finished. Low chaos. Some deaths, no prime targets. Took me about thirteen hours, bit more because Steam didn't register my play time until it unlocked in my region.
My game of the year, so far. Lots of things to love. The mechanics, the art, the world, the level design, the characters, etc.
Still some areas to improve. I didn't actually mind the story because it was a story of stuff going on around you as opposed to singularly about you, even if you play an integral role in events. It also took the Half-Life rout of the story existing within the confines of what you, the player, experience from the perspective of the character. I enjoyed some elements were never fully explained, leaving it up to you to piece together elements of the world
I didn't dislike the ending, but it was way too abrupt. This is partially due to the last level being quite easy. I still very much enjoyed it, but it was hardly climatic 'challenge' to the game. It had the same 'problem' a few other levels had, where instead of focusing on more open, layered environments with guards and NPCs in multiple tricky areas, it had too many instances of easy bottlenecks. Powers like control and time stop make those challenges extremely easy even going non-lethal and no alerts.
Almost every level in the game satisfied me, except for one (
). Even though I would have liked to see more openness in some stages, and more layered game design like is evident early on. But I feel this feeling of "more, more, more" is simply rooted in my desire to experience more of Dishonored.
I don't feel underwhelmed, I feel like I just want to play more. I want more missions with those mechanics. I wan't to experience more of the game world. I want to explore more areas. It was the kind of game where I just didn't want it to end, yet end it must.
I really don't know where DLC can fit in. If they can work out a cool way to do it, perhaps
, and the quality is high, I will buy it.

I think this is the best remix I've seen for the "Drunken Whaler" song they had in the trailer. Does it justice without turning it into something retarded.

Just wanted to comment on the game's performance on PS3. The game looks excellent and is very sharp and defined, the screen tearing solely shows up during those 20 second movies where your are in a boat about to dock or un-dock.
Killed every target so far except the

and am at what I am guessing is near the end. The gameplay, level design and world are all amazing, but the story and main missions feel a bit on the rushed side. Despite having played for about 11 hours so far, getting to the
just did not feel like there were enough obstacles in my way. I really feel it could have had a more fleshed out build up.
