This will totally end with you stabbing slackjaw, right?

I promise nothing.

[DataNinja]

I promise nothing.

Oh, great. Now we're gonna get a video that's just a silent black screen.

[The Glyphstone]

Okay, finally had the time to sit down and watch a video. Your compulsive need to loot everything and the random commentary is very, very entertaining.

Eat pears! Aaaaand Strangle!

Take Emily's drawings home and pin them on your whale-oil icebox.

I'm glad you're enjoying!

Look sometimes you've just gotta vocalize the desire to strangle something.

Zodi Plays: Dishonored [16] Not-So-Virtuous Mission

Video Length: 20:54

Was just a little strapped for time in making this one folks, so sorry if it seems shorter than normal. Because it is, due to the being strapped for time part. Anyway, new Dishonored let's go.

In this exciting episode, we roll around the Hound Pit for a bit, scrounging up some more items and also getting a nice peak into how Havelock considers the ends, and how they justify his means. I'm sure that won't backfire on us any time soon. We also speak with Pendleton a bit, who is actually feeling a little squiggly about putting a hit out on his brothers. Understandable. After that we learn what our next mission is; the kidnapping of Anton Sokolov from the GRU forces from his apartment on Kaldwell Bridge, which means we're going to a new area! Somewhat important; we're going Right Now, This Very Second, since we've only got the shortest of opportunities to get this done. No rest for the wicked, I suppose.

Our first goal in Kaldwell, which looks like it's going to be a pretty fun sneaking challenge if I do say so myself, is to cut the floodlights. We can't very well get out of here if they have tower upon tower of shiny eyeballs on us at all times, after all. The second goal here is to kidnap Sokolov alive. No murdering this guy, he's off the murder table! While we don't spend that much time on Kaldwell this video, I think the time we DO spend here is telling of how this one'll go. I'm actually excited for it, personally!

But yeah, that'll be it for today. Hope you all enjoyed, I'll see you all next time!

[DataNinja]

Ah, I see we're entering the puzzle part of the game.

I can't imagine why.

And look that tart was in Pendleton's room. He doesn't DESERVE it.

Just make sure it wasn't poisoned.

Was it Pendleton's birthday? Or Corvo's?

*trips over myself to throw the new video out there*

Zodi Plays: Dishonored [17] Oops

Video Length: 27:50

In this episode, we continue our mad flailing through Kaldwell bridge. I'm trying to be a bit more sneaky, and it's mostly paying off! The issue is now just getting caught out in weird, dumb ways like not knowing if enemies can see me through tiny guard windows or not. It's bothersome, but something I need to deal with. Another thing I need to deal with it that uh... sloped surfaces exist, and are the enemy. It's quite unfortunate. In a more positive train of thought, I successfully employed some powerfully smart lock picking tools AND learned that grenades are thrown hard enough to actually just outright kill a rat if it hits it. Corvo's got a bit of an arm on him!

Then we proceed into the next area of Kaldwell, where we get to meet Mr Pratchett, a big warehouse mogul guy. I don't THINK we can directly talk to him, and I wasn't one to risky checking so I handled him in the way I tend to do that. We then proceed to kinda slam our face against the walls of this area looking for how to solve his safe puzzle. Prepare to yell at your computer screens folks, this one is embarrassing (though I do get it, don't worry). I also get to listen to the wild ravings of a mad survivor, and after dealing with him I get to touch his special shrine to our good good eldritch friend, The Outsider.

To put it bluntly, I wasn't really THAT big a fan of The Outsider. He seemed a little eh, not bad but not necessarily a good character either. Mysterious, but without much draw to him, though the potential was there. Then I saw this scene. Wherein he dunks on Sokolov repeatedly, ending with one of my favorite pieces of dialogue I've heard from the game, a line that really feels great to hear from a character like this guy. Sokolov wants so much to call him up for a chat, but if he really wants to do so he needs to be a bit more interesting. God, I love it. There's some style to that line that pushed him over the top for me and it's great.

But yeah, that's it for today! Hope you all enjoyed, I'll see you all next time, for the actual intrusion into shutting off the floodlights, then the presumable infiltration into Sokolov's apartment. Take care!

[jindra34]

I was waiting for that kind of oops to happen. Also, the Outsider tends to reacts to what you have done (which leads to really memorable lines later on). The dude is inhuman, powerful and BORED, don't disappoint him.

[Ninja_Prawn]

So, all we need to do to get Zodi to like us is dunk on Sokolov? Cool.

And gravity sure is a harsh mistress, eh?

I think this is the only stage where I managed to go without being spotted. Though it was hard to do that while getting all the goodies, especially paintings.

Spoiler: not seen latest video, so spoiling one thing

Show

One event in this stage... or I think it was this stage... is saving a criminal and then he betrays you at this safe house. It's hard, but possible, to do a "unseen" run and still unlock this so you can get inside and get the goods.

I think it took a few resets, but after he betrays you, you can sleep dart him then Slow Time and teleport to get away so the others don't see you. Then pick them off with sleep darts.
Not necessarily worth it, but it was a good challenge.

Though maybe I'm muddling this with a DLC where you play as Daud.

[DataNinja]

...with a title like that, I fully expect to see some explosions by the end.

Uh, I'm not gonna be counting that fall as a death. Because I'm strictly only tracking your takedowns. Not, uh, final mission stuff. (Especially since that's a lot harder to track, what with stuff happening offscreen.)

The Outsider's neat, yeah. Though, I think people mentioned that the "flock of birds" with Granny was unrelated to you picking up the charm last time, it was just, uh, incredibly bad timing. So, you don't need to worry about that particular event happening again. Just other unintended consequences.

To be fair it was a good dunk. Up there with "We're already playing Beleren, and you're losing" in terms of elderitch beings beyond your mortal ken just, ruthlessly dunking on a nerd.

If that was a no go zone they shouldn't have let me warp to it.

IN MY DEFENSE, I thought they'd be in order since that's the way the reminder is. I also had difficulty telling which was which after I was so intent on location the numbers.

This is 100% true but also, I don't trust like that. Once bitten twice shy, and the game DID try to dump surprise rats on me earlier in the level!

Also I'm PRETTY sure the guy who wasn't devoured by rats got killed by my grenades, so I should probably have a kill count on this episode.

[DataNinja]

Oh, you're right. He wasn't actually in the explosion graphics, so I missed that. And that he didn't have the (unconscious) label over him anymore.

I... don't know how to score that, really. Because you did take him down non-lethally, you just, uh, killed him after.

We encountered that in episode 1, that counts as a kill and NOT a non-lethal.

Ah, right. Forgot about McStabbington.

It's been so long since there's been something like that, it'd slipped my mind. ...I'm also upset now, that that broke the nice round multiples-of-five that all the numbers were on.

[Gray Mage]

Finally managed to catch up.

Dunno why, but hearing you say strangle strangle is oddly satisfying. It's also nice to see you using blink, you've became quite a pro at it.

About this last video, on the scene after you get out of water, don't worry, you weren't spotted. It was a scripted event where you'd see the pylon in action, but due to the angle you didn't see it.

Spoiler: Pylons

Show

I don't think you can use the thing that marks you as friendly to the pylons. You can use the rewiring tool on it, but that'll flag every guard as a target to it and the resulting deaths are counted as your kills.

Scripted or not, the game keeps on giving me a spooky. How cruel.

That is somewhat like saying you're sure a flood is wet.

Not all floods are wet, though. Light can flood an area. Heck, we even have things called floodlights to do just that.

Unironically a flood of light would be very hot and burn everything.
