@@Zayindjejfj the world is what made me fall in love with this series, its so well thought out and put together and it reeks of passion and love and its great
It's because Arkane actually takes risks and the developers put their hearts and souls in making their games, other companies would prefer to give you a generic open world games with tons of pointless collectables, empty spaces and repetitive missions, I respect Arkane for sticking to their creative vision and philosophy even though the product may not sell or attract as many people because how different it is (From Software is also the same too)
I pirated this game and consequently bought it about 4 times, including DLC and Dishonored 2. they're just....yeah! Single Player games need to be more of this. it doesn't feel RPG-ey and it doesn't feel like it is side quests from one person to another and rinse repeat until the end. it really does feel like a one road story and you get to write the details of the road. yeah, we all travel 10 miles, but what did you see and do on YOUR ten mile stretch? secrets? like what? i must play again and try to out do your secret findings and go on a different road. most games today feel like a box. series of walls and shitty missions sending you every which way and almost illogical path and like a rat in a maze you get to the designated end. everybody ends the same and nobody does better or worse when they get there. no wonder i don't see coverage of something like call of duty. the only times that game is remotely popular is when there are nazi zombies, or just zombies or whatever they are now. or maybe that dumb outrage to the MW2 airport massacre. otherwise, nobody cares. my point has been made. MORE Dishonored. sorry i ranted.
I remember the first time playing this game. It was 2015, my first year in college. I borrowed my friend's laptop to finish editing a video for a class project, and when I was done, I asked him if I can play some of his games. You see, I grew up pretty poor, and my 1GB RAM netbook could never dream of playing games released later than 2005. It was 11pm. I booted up the game, told myself I'd play the opening scene and the tutorial then go back to sleep. While I was blinking through rooftops and ledges, shooting sleep darts at unsuspecting guards, and tracking down whale bone runes, I noticed a soft warm light shining over my shoulder. I looked around. It was the morning sun. It's already 7am, and my class was about to start at 30mins. I couldn't remember what happened in class that day. I couldn't even remember if the professor noticed I was late. But I couldn't forget the first time I played this game and how I literally lost track of time playing it. A few months later, my dad got me a scholarship that the company he was working for was offering. We bought a new laptop. It still couldn't play the latest games but it could run Dishonored at medium settings. And that was all I wanted.
@@bubblewrap324 thats one issue I took with the games moral choice system. Killing = bad and non-lethal = good, but the choosing the good, non-lethal option for the overseer just leads him to die slowly and horribly. Also, Lady Boyle's non-lethal method leads her to get captured by her creepy stalker and brought to a remote island.... the implications of this are rather disturbing, but ya know, "good".
I love how you lay out all of the options and the details in the environment/npcs as it truly shows how much depth is in dishonoured not only the choices the player can make, but also how it creates certain anticipation for upcoming events/characters.
What amazes me is that his review of some of the options showed me thing I legitimately never knew about. That's what I love about immersive sims and Dishonored in specific. When I watch other people play, I always learn something new.
The dishonored dlcs were the peak of the series imo. The gameplay has always been top notch in all the games, but the story of the dlcs is amazing. Daud is such a compelling character, you start out hating him, and even in the flooded district level of the main game you realize that he really regrets killing the empress, and by the time of the dlcs I was rooting for him to come to terms with all the evil he’s done and fine some inner peace. The series’ themes about power and its abuse, revenge and justice, and especially redemption really come to a head here. It’s such a character driven, internal story. No matter what happens, daud has saved Emily and did not make it publicly known. But the chaos level really colours dauds character and can change his motivations for his actions in the game Personally I like to believe that the empress was the last person he ever killed, but even the high chaos route where he deals with his regrets by doubling down on his murder is compelling, if dark and cynical. Daud is really just a phenomenal character and I don’t think Arkane will ever top the Dishonored DLCs
@@irarelyupload6930 in terms of the DLC's plot that affects the wider world, that pretty much sums it up. the appeal of the DLCs for me comes from the fact that it's very character-driven and Daud's personal arc is very compelling to me. in the wider world, nobody even knows what Daud has done to save Emily, but the game made me invested in the regret and unease that he feels and in the choices he makes to cope with his guilt. If that doesn't really grip you, then I would understand why you wouldn't find it interesting.
Absolutely agree: I only picked up and played the DLCs for Dishonored last year and even though I had enjoyed 1 and 2 with multiple playthroughs, the DLCs and DOTO were an absolutely joy to play through: more of the same but with the bar raised even higher on all fronts.
I hope Madsen got a little enjoyment out of playing a character with a redemption/antihero aspect. He's famous for being grumpy about being cast as a villain so often :)
@@alien1051 wait, he was in TWD season 2? when? i just know him for being one of Quentin Tarrintino's favourite actors to use in his movies EDIT: i googled it, i thought you meant the TV show haha, he's in the game, that's super cool
Small detail i've just noticed after watching the fight from Duad's perspective, if you look closely, when Corvo is holding his sword to your throat, while you ask for your life, his hand is shaking, you can tell by how the sword moves. Goes to show how hard it was for him to spare Duad, a thing that is also mentioned in Dishonored 2.
Seeing Corvo from the outside, under his blade, really put to mind what the masked assassin looked like to others. A horrifying reaper, your life entirely within his hands, whether you live or not up to player, or if you play like I do, up to circumstance of if your death is more valuable than just knocking out and passing by
God I love when someone can get me interested enough to play a game, not by reviewing it but just talking about. Hearing you gush about this game and it's DLCs is just so genuine.
@Gopher The Gopher I prefer killing Trimble and leaving Geezer alive. Avoids gassing the place, and he'll die soon enough anyway without Trimble's "care", maybe one of the Hatters will do it.
Almost 5 years ago I pirated this game with it's dlc's and I finished it both stealth and plague endings. I enjoyed the game it's story, it's characters. I really hate Daud before because he's the bad guy but after I played his story I realized that he is only helping his clan and this game is so immersive that you can do anything if you want Daud to be evil or not, even the main game's protagonist Corvo. This game is so special to me because of the story (my favorite is the masquerade mission), magic (my favorite is the blink), I can do anything and even tho I think that plan won't happen it works and other things that I cannot list. I didn't play Dishonored 2 because I have a potato laptop before but I want to replay this game again buying it on steam soon because this game deserves my money.
@@monchiexthemonkey6068 Of course. Also might buy the definitive edition. Edit: Heck might save up for the Ultimate edition which contains the whole series.
Personal rant about my best experience with this game here, it’s the only place someone may understand and appreciate it. I remember my buddies got this game for a playthrough while we all chill together. They had NEVER heard of this game or seen it before somehow. They just missed it I guess. I have HUNDREDS of hours in this game, and play it very well considering how well I know it. Our rules were that we hand off the controller for each death, playing at the hardest difficulty at high chaos. I loved watching each of them play tbh, made me realize that people think about how to play very differently compared to myself who has way more time with it. It’s a cool comparison. they all died on the first mission after escaping Coldridge. The controller gets in my hand and this is when I let them know I have played this game, and I proceeded to play it like a beautiful musical symphony. Flying through levels with ease and making all the killing look beautiful. It was a cool moment to show off. But what was amazing was seeing how someone realizes that this game is so DEEP in how you can approach it. Most of them realized they had barley scratched the surface of what they could be capable of in this game while watching me use the full extent or Corvo and Dauds abilities. Their interest in this game soared and what was at first only a passing interest in this game among my friends turned into a week long, daily chill session every night drinking and playing every game back to back, over and over, trying and experimenting with abilities while I showed them everything I know. I felt like Master Splinter leading the ninja turtles. I’ll never forget it, it was an amazing time with this game.
@@dillis2188if I remember correctly, I got the game for my ps3 from a shop which downloads games ( not a playstation store, it was more like a shop that downloads games in Indonesia ) and when I played the game, for some reason it was in French, I was kinda confused so I went to settings and can't find the change language option and it was in French, I asked my dad for help but he didn't know what to do so I gave up, but I still played the game and I completed the game within 2 days ( I was young in that time so it makes sense on why it was hard to change language ).
I'd like to add that the fight with the witches at the end of the second mission only happens if they have spotted you at any point during the level. If they never spot you they don't try to ambush you at the end, which I think is an awesome detail
@@lohollywood1f428 Deathloop looks crazy promising. It’s supposed to be their biggest game yet. Like Dishonored’s player choice but on the scope of a whole island.
I remember my first playthrough in the last mission, the last challenge was to pass these witches but I saw no opportunity to get rid of even one of them (stealth run.) And then I just blinked in and sneaked right behind their backs, that was the first time I acted so recklessly in this game and it felt badass, as if the whole game teached me stealth and then I was using it to the fullest
I hope you'll cover Death of the Outsider the same way. The level design of that game is unlike anything in Dishonored 2, and the levels feel like a love letter to the original thiefs (1 & 2)
Dishonored is the ultimate power fantasy and show of restraint. Skulking through the shadows, along rooftops and through nooks and crannies all while being the most powerful entity among the enemies you avoid is so satisfying. You could easily rush through and kill everyone but you don't. You perch yourself high above them all, listening to everything and planning clever routes. You are a God in Dunwall.
I jus imagined the devs finding these videos you make about dishonored and be like : FINALLY SOMEBODY DIDNT DO A SPEEDRUN VIDEO AND APPRECIATES EVERYTHING WE WROTE *cries*
Dishonored 1 is truly one of the most fascinating games I’ve ever played and easily one of my favourite games of all time. There’s always something new to learn about like the attic pathway from this video or the overseer that gets executed in Campbells mission. Great video overall!.
I found out about your channel when you released bioshock: a sea of hypocrisy. That was right after I played the whole bioshock series, including the dlc's. And that video was executed amazingly. I love how you dive into the mind of characters as you analyze the world these people are. Especially with dishonored. The first game holds a very special place in my heart. I plan to get the outsiders symbol tattooed. It may be on the left hand. But after my first tattoo, being Jack's wrist chain tattoo. Experiencing the sensation of getting it. May not be on the hand anymore. But enough about me. I loved your videos on this game. It's one of the best. Crazy to thing it's coming to 9 years old. I hope to see a video on Dishonored 2. Bought it a year ago and havent exactly had it on my radar. But from I've played so far. It's looking like a good game
I'm very glad to see there is at least someone who enjoys this series as much as I. You're videos have been instrumental in helping me reconstruct the world for a Blades in the Dark hack of mine, which has proven to be a passion project. I'm not sure how much more there is left to talk about, but I appreciate all you've done thus far.
Excellent video man. I remember when your first reviews for Dishonored came out and I was amazed by the detail and care you put into them. Thanks for making really in-depth content about one of my favorite hobbies!
You should talk about Death of the Outsider. It's so refreshing to see someone who understands immersive simulators talk at length about great game design.
I beat Corvo in that dream scene on my first playthrough easily? It actually made me confused on if the DLC was canon at first because I thought that was the intended outcome
Yeah I was playing on veteran and a good use of blink was enough to tip him. I'm kinda confused, because Leadhead is much better at me at the combat (judging from the footage).
Delilah's plan is pretty much laid out in KoD. In Timish's house, you can find her poem where she directly says she's going to possess Emily's body. In the final scene, she says she's going to wear Daud and Billie like puppets, pretty much revealing her plan for Emily.
I love just how much passion and attention to details you put into this stuff, and thanks for having made me discover a busload of things I didn't know existed bout one of my favorite games ever. Keep it up man
You just keeping stacking the cherries atop my love for this game and the love that went into making it. Big fan of your videos, I’d watch anything you dissect. Much love.
Another aspect of this dlc I like is the last outsider speech before confronting Delilah which has 4 variations depending on the chaos rating(Low chaos.Medium-low chaos,Medium-high chaos,high chaos)
18:58 not a chance, It's awesome you pointing thing's out about level disgise that a lot of players like me never even think about. It really let's me appreciate the hard work and genius that goes into making levels functional, enjoyable, aesthetically appealing and immersive.
i remember being like 12 the first time i saw dishonored in my dads steam library and downloading it cause i was bored, 6 years later its still my favorite game series ever and ive played it through hundreds of times
I love these games' universe and I love that people such as you still make good content for it. thank you and thanks youtube for getting a recommended video right
I love your videos, I love finishing all my A level work and just sitting down with a glass of Pepsi and watching your videos, your content really makes me happy please keep it up :))!
I brought and played through the two dlcs recently and I have to say, some of the best stuff I’ve ever played. It’s similar to the main game but it’s strange enough that it feels endlessly interesting
I am so glad people are getting back into dishonored, it's been 5 years since the last game and i've start to see so many videos with so many views. I really hope this kickstarts the next game.
It makes me so happy to see Dishonored content so many years later. I still play this game every week, I know it better than my own home at this point and I love it to pieces. This is a very interesting breakdown! I like the DLC, but I don't love them as much as the base game, with the exception of two of the missions inside the two DLC, so it's fascinating to see your POV on the matter
16:00 One thing I really, really like about this area is just the feeling of being watched. It's unlikely you'll make it through this mission without something tipping you off to the witches, but the best part is when you're on that rooftop where the Whaler mentions the witches. You're standing fairly exposed on that rooftop, and you'll instinctively look around to see what he's talking about. The area is basically surrounded. The massive buildings looking down over you on all sides, just far away enough to be unable to clearly see into the windows or onto the streets below them. Even though the map is full of cover and relative safety in the players eyes, there's still weepers in the tunnels and some tricky vantage points the dead eels have over you. You're at a disadvantage. Serving the whims of petty gangsters just because you have no one else to turn to. Corvo and Delilah are coming for you, and you're not safe. That's why I really love the boat map. You just don't feel safe, despite how easy it is from a mechanical standpoint. You're on edge, always anticipating something, especially on repeat playthroughs. It's a feeling the series doesn't really revisit until Dishonored 2's final mission.
10:20 you can see the "Karnaca needs Workers!" ad seen near the start of Mission 2 in Dishonoured 2 - perhaps they'd already started on the sequel and were already linking it to the lore

Their interest in this game soared and what was at first only a passing interest in this game among my friends turned into a week long, daily chill session every night drinking and playing every game back to back, over and over, trying and experimenting with abilities while I showed them everything I know. I felt like Master Splinter leading the ninja turtles. I’ll never forget it, it was an amazing time with this game.
weird flex
Nice! I felt a similar way showing my older brother how to play the game
@Irish Jester his name is Rabbit’s Respawn. Dude is dope
That sounds lit af dude
Well that was insanely wholesome.
YES, I was scared that you won't cover that one
I remember playing dishonored... It was in French..... and still finished the game because I loved the game and stragety and choices in the game.
Why did you play it in French? (Is this wordplay with 'Finnished'? lol)
@@dillis2188if I remember correctly, I got the game for my ps3 from a shop which downloads games ( not a playstation store, it was more like a shop that downloads games in Indonesia ) and when I played the game, for some reason it was in French, I was kinda confused so I went to settings and can't find the change language option and it was in French, I asked my dad for help but he didn't know what to do so I gave up, but I still played the game and I completed the game within 2 days ( I was young in that time so it makes sense on why it was hard to change language ).
@Kheops IV haha
Well, at least the french dub was pretty good, so you didn't lose everything :p
Yeah me too, i bought the game in italy ps store and had a choice between french and spanish
I'd like to add that the fight with the witches at the end of the second mission only happens if they have spotted you at any point during the level. If they never spot you they don't try to ambush you at the end, which I think is an awesome detail
I love dishonored that is literally my favorite game
It is such a unique game. The workd itself is a interesting take on Steampunk. Or would it be Whale-oilpunk idk.
One of mine for sure
Same here man. I’ve replayed it an obscene amount of times. I wish I could find more games like it.
@@roach9397 Try Prey or really any Arkane studios games. Their new game Deathloop looks promising also but idk.
@@lohollywood1f428 Deathloop looks crazy promising. It’s supposed to be their biggest game yet. Like Dishonored’s player choice but on the scope of a whole island.
Arkane is one of the most underrated studios every game is so unique can’t wait for deathloop swinging sixties live die repeat assassin sim 🔥🔥🔥
I totally love Prey and Dishonored. I think Dishonored is a steampunk Prey, and vice versa.
You got me thinking it's time for another game from them. Quick search brought up Death Loop!
Your Dishonored videos made me buy the DLC and playthrough the entire series No Alert No Kill. Thank you for rekindling my love for this series
I remember my first playthrough in the last mission, the last challenge was to pass these witches but I saw no opportunity to get rid of even one of them (stealth run.) And then I just blinked in and sneaked right behind their backs, that was the first time I acted so recklessly in this game and it felt badass, as if the whole game teached me stealth and then I was using it to the fullest
Did you discover Statuesque afterward? Probably my favorite corrupted bone charm.
I hope you'll cover Death of the Outsider the same way. The level design of that game is unlike anything in Dishonored 2, and the levels feel like a love letter to the original thiefs (1 & 2)
lmao i didnt even knew there was a sewer level in the textile factory
Dishonored is the ultimate power fantasy and show of restraint.
Skulking through the shadows, along rooftops and through nooks and crannies all while being the most powerful entity among the enemies you avoid is so satisfying. You could easily rush through and kill everyone but you don't. You perch yourself high above them all, listening to everything and planning clever routes. You are a God in Dunwall.
That and you lose health ammo and ghostly+merciful if you kill anyone for achievements/trophy’s so wouldn’t really say all that
I jus imagined the devs finding these videos you make about dishonored and be like : FINALLY SOMEBODY DIDNT DO A SPEEDRUN VIDEO AND APPRECIATES EVERYTHING WE WROTE
*cries*
Dishonored 1 is truly one of the most fascinating games I’ve ever played and easily one of my favourite games of all time.
There’s always something new to learn about like the attic pathway from this video or the overseer that gets executed in Campbells mission.
Great video overall!.
Man, this is easily one of the best games ever made. I love Dishonored sooo much.
I wanna explore the flooded district. now that it isnt flooded.
I found out about your channel when you released bioshock: a sea of hypocrisy. That was right after I played the whole bioshock series, including the dlc's. And that video was executed amazingly. I love how you dive into the mind of characters as you analyze the world these people are. Especially with dishonored. The first game holds a very special place in my heart. I plan to get the outsiders symbol tattooed. It may be on the left hand. But after my first tattoo, being Jack's wrist chain tattoo. Experiencing the sensation of getting it. May not be on the hand anymore. But enough about me. I loved your videos on this game. It's one of the best. Crazy to thing it's coming to 9 years old. I hope to see a video on Dishonored 2. Bought it a year ago and havent exactly had it on my radar. But from I've played so far. It's looking like a good game
Your videos are art and treasure. I feel and understand every single thought and second of your time you put in them. Thank you!
Awesome video, I love this series and haven’t gone back to it in a couple of years but you’ve peaked my interest of the franchise again.
I'm very glad to see there is at least someone who enjoys this series as much as I.
You're videos have been instrumental in helping me reconstruct the world for a Blades in the Dark hack of mine, which has proven to be a passion project.
I'm not sure how much more there is left to talk about, but I appreciate all you've done thus far.
Excellent video man. I remember when your first reviews for Dishonored came out and I was amazed by the detail and care you put into them. Thanks for making really in-depth content about one of my favorite hobbies!
Absolutely fantastic work on this video essay, as always!
Loving these videos, played and completed these levels many times but I enjoyed your commentary so continued to watch.
A good saga I never got tired of
You should talk about Death of the Outsider. It's so refreshing to see someone who understands immersive simulators talk at length about great game design.
Delilah’s sword death is so cool it shows that she was fighting till the end and the truly fearless enemy
Have you tried killing off all her clones first? I find that method pretty amusing. She has some interesting reactions to it as well.
@@zanth6577 Yes it’s so cool how Arkane really put their all into their games
Absolutely love the vid mate, reinforcing and making obvious the subtle reasons why there’s such a great love for these games.
I beat Corvo in that dream scene on my first playthrough easily? It actually made me confused on if the DLC was canon at first because I thought that was the intended outcome
Yeah I was playing on veteran and a good use of blink was enough to tip him. I'm kinda confused, because Leadhead is much better at me at the combat (judging from the footage).
@@falcononpc9845 yeah same, I am also not that good at it, I have only beaten the games on hard
This video and the previous one were incredible, thanks for reminding me why I love these games this much, you got yourself a new subscriber!
Delilah's plan is pretty much laid out in KoD. In Timish's house, you can find her poem where she directly says she's going to possess Emily's body. In the final scene, she says she's going to wear Daud and Billie like puppets, pretty much revealing her plan for Emily.
I love just how much passion and attention to details you put into this stuff, and thanks for having made me discover a busload of things I didn't know existed bout one of my favorite games ever. Keep it up man
You just keeping stacking the cherries atop my love for this game and the love that went into making it. Big fan of your videos, I’d watch anything you dissect. Much love.
Always nice seeing you post
Literally playing this right now 💜 dishonored is one of my favorite series
Another aspect of this dlc I like is the last outsider speech before confronting Delilah which has 4 variations depending on the chaos rating(Low chaos.Medium-low chaos,Medium-high chaos,high chaos)
Dude this is really cool. I love the narration.
Your description makes me in awe of the depth of this game. Only 10 minutes in. I want to replay all of these games now!
Wow. Now that's a thorough and interesting look at some of the suble genius of the DLC. Quality content.
Music was so amazing and matching to occultic, witch subtheme of video. Great job.
Your Dishonored videos are just on a whole other level
I have been waiting for this with anticipation
1:56 "Daud is swimming in a sea of blood... and he needs to shit." Pure eloquence.
my last patron vid this vid is banger good job lead I hope to be your patron one day again
Great video, man. Wow. Good stuff. Thank you!
18:58 not a chance, It's awesome you pointing thing's out about level disgise that a lot of players like me never even think about. It really let's me appreciate the hard work and genius that goes into making levels functional, enjoyable, aesthetically appealing and immersive.
Love your Dishonored videos, Keep them up! They're the reason why I subscribed. I'm glad to see that Dishonored is still somewhat relevant
The brigmore witches is my favorite DLC, from the beautiful levels and the depth of them, the abilities and gear is dope as hell as well
Congrats on 200k!
Amazing video man!
i swear these videos are the best,
without you i'd never see all those brilliant things a really good game has to offer
i remember being like 12 the first time i saw dishonored in my dads steam library and downloading it cause i was bored, 6 years later its still my favorite game series ever and ive played it through hundreds of times
I love these games' universe and I love that people such as you still make good content for it. thank you and thanks youtube for getting a recommended video right
I... didn't know about that attic entrance to the back part of the mansion. And I call myself a fan.
these dishonored vids by you are so amazing
and really put into perspective for me why my
brother loves this series so dearly.
If I remember correctly the tailor will say if you have flowers on you and then talk to you, a neat detail that lets you know how a witch looks like
I love your videos, I love finishing all my A level work and just sitting down with a glass of Pepsi and watching your videos, your content really makes me happy please keep it up :))!
Love how I heard that as "Daud is swimming in a sea of blood and needs a sh*t" :)
I really hope you start getting more recognition man, you deserve way more views on your videos. Keep it up!
I brought and played through the two dlcs recently and I have to say, some of the best stuff I’ve ever played. It’s similar to the main game but it’s strange enough that it feels endlessly interesting
I am so glad people are getting back into dishonored, it's been 5 years since the last game and i've start to see so many videos with so many views. I really hope this kickstarts the next game.
thank you for talking about dishonored, one of my favorite games of all time.
I beat Corvo in the dream. It's hard, but not impossible.
Definitely not impossible. I managed to fumble my way to a win against him on my first playthrough, and I'm not even super good at the game.
Daud and Corvo were EXTREMELY easy to fight, I don't understand why you say that.
3 or 5 seconds needed to put them down for me on normal difficulty.
I love your videos. I have learned so much about my favorite game series.
Another amazing video!
Can I just say that I love dauds assassins. They are just so cool
Increíble video brother, la verdad que insuperable.
It makes me so happy to see Dishonored content so many years later. I still play this game every week, I know it better than my own home at this point and I love it to pieces. This is a very interesting breakdown! I like the DLC, but I don't love them as much as the base game, with the exception of two of the missions inside the two DLC, so it's fascinating to see your POV on the matter
Literally just replayed the base game over the past couple days and was about to do the dlcs, so this video came at a good time.
Happy 200K!
Another great video! Please keep up the good work!
16:00 One thing I really, really like about this area is just the feeling of being watched. It's unlikely you'll make it through this mission without something tipping you off to the witches, but the best part is when you're on that rooftop where the Whaler mentions the witches.
You're standing fairly exposed on that rooftop, and you'll instinctively look around to see what he's talking about. The area is basically surrounded. The massive buildings looking down over you on all sides, just far away enough to be unable to clearly see into the windows or onto the streets below them. Even though the map is full of cover and relative safety in the players eyes, there's still weepers in the tunnels and some tricky vantage points the dead eels have over you.
You're at a disadvantage. Serving the whims of petty gangsters just because you have no one else to turn to. Corvo and Delilah are coming for you, and you're not safe. That's why I really love the boat map. You just don't feel safe, despite how easy it is from a mechanical standpoint. You're on edge, always anticipating something, especially on repeat playthroughs. It's a feeling the series doesn't really revisit until Dishonored 2's final mission.
This series is incredibly well written. It keeps blowing my mind. The level designs are great and the art is phenomenal as well.
great video as always
10:20 you can see the "Karnaca needs Workers!" ad seen near the start of Mission 2 in Dishonoured 2 - perhaps they'd already started on the sequel and were already linking it to the lore
