This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: silva;639216Another thing I think its worth noting is that the game dont try to excel at any single gameplay aspect - its stealth isnt better than Thief or Chaos theory, its "level openess" isnt better than Hitman´s, its choice & consequence isnt better than Deus Ex 1 (neither its plot), its atmosphere isnt tense as System Shock, etc... BUT it tries to mesh all those aspects into a very cohesive and fun package. To the point that, in the end, I think Ive had so much fun with this game overall as I had with any of those classics. (I recommend disabling all interface options, for maximum immersion, btw)
That's a lot like how the original Deus Ex works, BTW: it was never as good at stealth as Thief, it was never as good at shooting as a good FPS, and it never had as much interaction as an adventure game... but put it all in one package, and it's just a fun, complex game.
Now with a Zine!

Melan, exactly. I agree Deus Ex is another hybrid ( albeit a narrower one than Dishonored ).

By the way, there is a dlc coming out in April where you play with Daud and see the game story from the other side of the fence. Its an awesome idea, I hope they make it right.
