We fly to France and Texas to talk to the developers at Arkane Studios about the design of their most beloved franchise; Dishonored.

Thanks Redglyph!

The clockwork mansion is just pure madness

Many of those levels have an outstanding style, glad Viktor Antonov could implement the vision so well, and show the path.

I need to play Dishonored 2. I keep hearing all these cool things about it, but it's been stuck in my backlog forever. I really liked the first game as well as everything else Arkane has developed.

I think I first finished Dishonored 1/2 and the expansion to 2 just a couple of months ago. Absolutely had a blast in 2. 1 was also good, but it didn't have a real-time tracking system to show you if you were detected or not. So I didn't bother ghosting the game. But I did do a ghost/no-kill run through part 2, which was a lot of fun.

I hope that with Microsoft buying these IPs, there's a good chance we'll see a 3rd one.

I think that area was the single most difficult area to ghost through. Especially the final maze where you're locked in with the automaton. I abused the hell out of the save/load system for that, to keep from being seen at all. Highly imaginative area nevertheless.

Oh, and I also just remembered

Great fun was had in that game. Also, the exploration was fantastic.

Oh, I also just remembered the fun I had with the expansions to Dishonored 1. Those were also great, and really worth playing. Ah, good memories.

I thought they did a Dishonored documentary before? Thanks for sharing @Redglyph.

The first two game are always on my replay list. I just didn't care for Death of the Outsider. Wonder how they could go back to the setting now after that game?

Not ashamed to admit I needed a walk-trough for that level.

On Arkane Studios, not on Dishonored. They spoke a lot of earlier games but the Dishonored series deserved its own documentary.

Indeed. And it excels in so many directions. My jaw was on the floor after I had passed the

the final encounter with the evil scientist dude and the two automatons that guard him. God that also took a lot of reloads. But I loved the improvizational system of the game, and the solution I found to distract them, and then manage to kidnap the dude and place him in the lobotomy machine.

And I remember that .


My favorite part was the level with time-travelling and .

electrical mines kill machines and knock-out people (may be you need an appropriate upgrade). Therefore placing enough of those while staying undetected makes this situation very easy for no-kill ghosting…

I didn't do it like that. But it's impressive there are these many ways of doing it.

Yeah, that's the same one I mentioned just now. I was floored.
Also, might be worth editing the message a little, since the subject could give away the surprise.
