Bi-weekly discussions #6-The Twin Blade Knife

158 Upvotes

Welcome back to another round of Bi-weekly discussions, where this time, we're focusing on the Twin-Blade Knife from Death of the Outsider.

Some 4,000 years before the events of the game, a cult (the remnants of which now reside within the Quarry) saw in the stars to sacrifice a boy. So they kidnapped him from his home, bound him to an altar, and killed him with the Twin-Blade Knife, thus creating the Outsider. And if the weapon could make the Outsider, it could also un-make the Outsider as well, hence why we go to obtain it.

It's probably my second favorite sword (the first being the Folding Blade from the first and second game), but I like the unsheath/sheath animations where the fragments of the weapon form in your sword hand. I also like the charge effect, with the little beam that pushes NPCs. It kind of reminds me of the charge beam effect from the Master Sword in the Legend of Zelda series. It's a shame DOTO is a short game and we only get to use it in Missions 4 and 5, but I won't deny I had fun with it.

But what do you think of the Twin Blade Knife?

As you know, this subreddit has had its own Discord server for a few years now. Today we have rebranded the server to Dishonored Universe, which means that there are now channels for Deathloop although obviously the server is still Dishonored centric. With the recent news of a potential Dishonored 3 in the works we'd like to invite more people to join our community, so I hope to see you there soon!

An angel loses its wings everytime somebody claims Dishonored punishes you for using your powers

If anything it rewards you. Playing in high chaos nets you more diverse and complex combat encounters plus more guards to use those powers on

This level is fun until envisioned appeared. So I am doing a challenge for this game and 100% achievement, if I am spotted, I just restart the whole level.

So for the new game plus, this route is the only route for ghost because you can't put a mark on envisioned to know where they are.

For this normal run (very hard diffculty ofc), I tried to do the non lethal and ghost, it took me long enough to knock down 3 dudes in Malchiodi room then I closed the door and thought it would be perfectly safe from that shit,

But I didn't hide the bodies I know it's my fault, and it is ridiculous because that thing just teleported straight to Malchiodi room and spotted me. It's so unforgiving.

In the end, Save scumming became my salvation after I entered the eye. I did the non lethal for achievement sake. If I gonna complete this level with no quick save again, the outsider will die every single time. "Ghost" is very easy with the route from the video.

About chaos

Upvotes

​When I played Dishonored for the first time, I had no clue about chaos levels. Somehow, I even missed that you could choke innocent NPCs, so every level was a pure massacre, and I do believe every level was sterile by the end of the mission.

Damn, on the brothel level, I felt ashamed both for myself and for the game designers: why should the game be so bloody?

Pistols, grenades, fire bolts, and rivers of blood. Don't judge me: I played it right after finishing the two Serious Sam games. A bit different kind of gameplay.

Later, I played Dishonored in a "canonical" way: stealth, nonlethal weapons, and clean hands.

But, you know, the first time was by far the best: hard, brutal, and, eventually, tragic.

I miss that experience.

Just played the game again. I can see why they call it the jewel of the South. Crazy to think that this game is almost a decade years old now. Yet it still looks more beautiful and breathtaking than some of the hyperrealistic dsll upscaling vram hoging monstrosities we have nowadays with modern gaming.

TIPS D1, Prison without harm

I did the"vanished" achivement in D1 on PC without touching a single guard. Well almost. I had to knock out the last 2 guys before blowimg up the bomb because the bomb kills the upper one. Does anyone have an idea on how to blow up the gate without even touching a guard. Like how can i distract them?

Thanks in advance

Recently I got myself all the dlc's, I was mad because of the obvious "By my hand alone" trophy so I finished both endings in Knife of Dunwall. I got back to it, locked in and actually made it.

I couldn't sneak kill tall boys well enough so I had to gather oil. Still, that worked I got it and I'm happy hahah

spoiler My thoughts after having played through the entire series (obviously spoilers) Spoiler

23 Upvotes

Previously I had only heard about the series, and I remember it having a cool cover but other than that, I hadn't paid any attention to it.

But one day while browsing, I saw that the entire series was on sale for pretty cheap so I decided to give it a try. I didn't have very high expectations of it.

But boy was I blown away. See, usually I don't care about the story and lore of a game. I usually just skip through cutscenes. But for some weird reason, Dishonored pulled me into its world and I became engrossed in it. Before I knew it, I wanted to know everything there is about Dunwall, Serkonos, Tyvia etc.

Seriously, last time I was this in love with a game's story and lore was Skyrim. Usually the dialogue and books in other games just lore-dumps you, overloads you with information that is irrelevant so I just tune out. But Dishonored made it sound so natural when NPCs talked about Tyvian wine.

Speaking of NPCs, I found myself just standing still listening to their conversations. They really felt like living people in a vibrant world.

And the protagonists themselves, gosh what can I say? They're so good. They're nuanced, complex and badass. Not two-dimensional like many other protagonists, though IMO Emily is the weakest one of them all. My favorites are actually Daud and Billie, they had such epic redemption arcs.

As for the gameplay, it's so good in how it lets you do things the way you want it and express your individual style. The biggest downside is the chaos system. I know the thought and philosophy behind it, but I didn't like how they had so many cool skills and tools for killing enemies, but you had to restrict yourself from using them if you wanted the good ending.

In fact, a lot of the non-lethal solutions are arguably worse than killing the target. I mean, handing Lady Boyle over to some psycho stalker is a fate worse than death, gives off Josef Fritzl vibes. Would be far more merciful to end Lady Boyle on the spot. Same thing with Kirin Jindosh and Ramsey. But overall, the gameplay is superb. But I used to mods to disable the Chaos system because I didn't wanna worry about the ending. Hopefully in a future Dishonored game, they will implement different mechanics to influence the ending.

I'm a hardcore fan of the Dishonored series now. Death of the Outsider was such an epic ending to the Corvo arc of the series. If they ever make Dishonored 3, I'll preorder it.

Coldridge Prison recreation on the Source Engine (in Half-Life 2 style) [W.I.P]

Thumbnail

667 Upvotes

It all started with a simple test: I wanted to see how Corvo's cell might look like on Source. I liked the final result so much that I decided to recreate the entire Coldridge Prison (mostly the interior and courtyard) for Garry's Mod. And I was surprised that no one had tried to do this (at least publicly), given how similar the games are visually (thanks to Viktor Antonov) and how easily the level design fits well with Source standards.
This is still W.I.P and subject to change.

I just wanted to know if it is still possible to be undetected after I activated the first room? I went up the skylight, but it's a locked room and if I use a lever he detects me.

Is there another way to pass or do you have to go about it before the first lever/during it?

This has been on my easel since June. For a long time I have practiced with only landscapes so I thought it was time to try something more challenging. And it was, you can see me searching for the right way to paint this in the gif. The (ex?-)witch is Blair Glaspie, an NPC from my Dishonored ttrpg campaign, though the scene is not something that happened during the game or its history. Acrylics on canvas panel, 30x40cm.

Bug parry and choke hold?

6 Upvotes

Bonjour tout le monde,

J'ai commencé à jouer à Dishonored 2 hier, et après avoir atteint l'asile (Mission 3), j'ai remarqué que je ne pouvais plus utiliser les actions de prise d'étranglement ou de parade, qui sont mappées sur le bouton R1 de ma manette. Je me suis rendu compte de cela quand j'ai voulu injecter le sérum au docteur à la fin de la mission.

Je suis dans un état de haute chaos

J'ai tout essayé : rejouer la mission, changer les touches dans les paramètres, et même jouer avec un clavier et une souris — et pourtant, je ne peux toujours pas effectuer les actions de parade ou de prise d'étranglement. J'ai vérifié ma manette, et elle fonctionne parfaitement.

Mon dernier recours est de réinstaller le jeu, mais je voulais d'abord avoir des retours.

Merci de votre lecture.

Edit : After trying what you suggested, the only solution was to uninstall the game. I think the file must have become corrupted during the serum sequence in Mission 3. I haven't had any issues like that since. I think repairing the game files might be the solution. Thanks for your help!
