Being a merciful ghost in DISHONORED
A twitchy old granny wandering aimlessly around an abandoned house, stares me in the eye and asks me ever so sweetly to deal with her gentleman callers, three armed goons who are battering on the home’s locked front door and demanding entry. Help her, and she’ll give me an item of power.
Power in Dishonored comes in the form of otherworldly abilities as granted through whalebone runes by the mysterious and sinister emo lord, the Outsider. This guy, who looks like a reject from My Chemical Romance, has empowered me with a range of superhuman powers that, being honest, are mainly geared around killing foes in a bloody, brutal manner. The temptation to slit throats is high.
But the beauty of Dishonored, and indeed why the game has so much replayability, is that you don’t have to use these powers and, even if you do, you certainly don’t have to use them to kill your enemies. Indeed, how you use your powers has a direct affect on the game. For this run, I’m trying to not kill anyone other than my main assassination target each mission.
GHOSTLY FUN
It’s going to be even harder, too, as I’m trying
