Some of these differences are actually detected/undetected. The ‘unknown assailant’ on the posters lasts as long as you don’t get spotted at all. For the Lord Regent’s Zoom call, he comes downstairs if you haven’t spotted in that mission in the outdoors section.
Kind of makes you think how terrifying high chaos ghost with the hide-bodies skill must be. Entire blocks of people disappearing without any understanding of who or what's doing it.
I remember branding Campbell, the Pendleton's, kidnapping Sokolov and Boyle and signing Corvos name at the Boyle party, which was HILARIOUS and insulting. There was a note from Captain Tobias to Regent Burrows, they were pretty sure it was a messed up joke or actually Corvo. It might contribute to Chaos, not sure. I always will sign the Guest list though just to be mean.
Honestly, although the big drawing of the mask is freaking awesome, it breaks my heart to see Emily turn from an innocent joyous girl who loves Corvo into a girl haunted by fear and only sees Corvo as a masked Vigilante
I love the stealthy/low chaos raid of Daud's hideout. Corvo is basically teabagging this group of legendary assassins telling them "You showed me I'm not that great a bodyguard. Guess I'm better at your jobs tho". Even cooler if you steal Daud's stuff without him noticing.
@@humannomore7759 Haha yeesss that would be amazing I think I read a fanfic where there was a short excerpt from Daud's perspective He got told by his servant that Corvo had been half poisoned, stripped of his weapons, bound hand and foot, and still got away Kind of like what we hear in the game And he sighed, told them to leave, and sat down in a chair to reflect for a moment He felt a knife poke in his back, instantly knew it wasn't a blade the assassins normally use, and 'took it for the message that it was'. I thought it was an awesome touch Not only did Corvo sneak past and do everything he did in game, but he left some sort of knife there specifically for Daud - not to kill, from what I interpreted, just as a warning XD
Corvo is a great bodyguard though. He canonically fought and won against multiple assassins until they pulled Void Powers. Unless you are a specially equipped overseer or another Void power user, you don't have a chance against those. After he gets his mark, he is also canonically stronger than Daud and all the assassins.
@@TheDennys21 I can confirm, just replaced the game for an achievements run (up to Brigmore Witches) and all the little differences for your actions and subtle worldbuilding outside of cutscenes that you have to read, search for and listen into to understand is awesome. You feel like you're in a grounded, living city with different screws, nuts and cogs moving around with or without your intervention
I seriously wish there were more games like Dishonored and Fallout New Vegas where the world genuinely makes you feel like your choices matter. I have yet to see another game that has a Choice and Consequence System that's this in-depth.
I think doing the Lady Boyle party mission in complete stealth without being detected and not killing anyone while signing the guest book is the biggest FU that you can do. It's like saying "yes, I'm THAT good". Killing's easy, but not killing and still avoid being seen - that's hard.
Emily's change in personality depending on your chaos is the pure example of Parental influence. I love how any one who wants the best for her would want to keep the chaos as down as possible. I certainly did.
Tbh that last clip is ultimate disrespect on Corvo's part. Dude's like public enemy number 1 with wanted posters literally all over the city, and he signs the guest book with his full name before killing/kidnapping a highly influential figure at her own party. Pretty much an ultimate F- you to the state. Love it.
Don't forget that he's also wearing the mask of a famous outlaw, as far as the government knows there were two wanted men who were possibly there. Of course they blame the masked felon and write off Corvo being there. (Pretty dumb of them to not connect the dots and realise who the felon is...)
lmao I also did that, and I was so shocked to see Corvo just putting his full name on the guest list I was like, bruh, aren't you on the wanted list? Why are you so casual about it?
Imagine how it must be from the other perspective. You throw a party and either one of your sisters gets abducted or she, and perhaps other people, are killed. And in the aftermath a servant tells you that your guest book was signed by the one dude everyone thinks has killed the empress and who might be the masked assailant considering that only a short time after he escaped, high profile people started dropping and a masked dude started roaming streets. Or imagine an investigator coming to the slaughter that the high end party has become and seeing that name in last place in the guest book.
There's a detail that I haven't seen mentioned anywhere: at the hideout when Havelock is talking about Emily's education (after some mission I don't remember), in low chaos he mentions teaching math, science, astronomy; while in high chaos he mentions teaching religion, politics, etc
There is also a medium chaos scenario for the boat ride with Samuel by the end...There he will berate Corvo for killing but will not consider him one of the worst people alive and will not betray him
@@waserjo7834 its true. i got that. he doesnt say you are the worst of all. he says he is disappointed. also he doesnt fire the warning pistol. No idea how to get it though, it's just my normal playthrough
@@waserjo7834 As I heard before (but never checked it for myself) you have to be at high chaos and spare all story targets. th-cam.com/video/an-wuHsWi74/w-d-xo.html
@@waserjo7834 you basically have to have a mix of low and high chaos ratings on your missions, with the final one being high. Kill enough people to get high chaos at the end but not TOO many people
For sure, really makes the games’ replay value that much more concrete, there’s so many different ways to go about playing it and experiencing what it has to offer. Fantastic game, a masterpiece
Dishonored has a way of humanizing NPCs that is unparalleled. It’s the only game I think I’ve ever genuinely felt bad for killing an NPC and each time I had to it was a true moral conundrum
This is one of the best games I've ever played. I just beat this game on Low Chaos yesterday, I got Clean Hands, Ghost, Mostly Flesh and Steel, and Shadow achievements for that playthrough. Later on today, I'm going to start my High Chaos playthrough.
If your on Xbox and doing high chaos, map RT to slash. LT to block and RB to use ability,. This means you can spam slash and dodge easily whilst blocking
I'm a Low Chaos kind of guy but I have to admit that the final mission is much more spectacular on a High Chaos run; the weather, difficulty, and the interaction with the targets have a much more climactic feel to them.
Yep the low chaos version of the mission imo feels like a victory lap as a reward for keeping things as clean as possible you get a breeze of a mission.While the high chaos variant is pretty much the final test everything and everyone is out to get you even the environment it’s pretty damn cool.
The final mission on high chaos is what corvos revenge TRULY is as Samuel says "I'm going to tell them your coming", he wasn't doing that so they'd stop you he knew they couldn't literally no one could, but telling them made you hack and slash your way through every single person on the isle and truly fulfills the culmination of high chaos, one man cutting his way through an entire fortified island and not a single survivor in sight
When the assassin talks to Daud about Corvo escaping, the dialogue also changes if Corvo doesn't kill anyone but gets detected, so there are 3 possible dialogues there between Daud and the assassin Also, if you get the low chaos ending but kill Calista (you kill her yourself) the game won't fail, it will continue as normal and in the end when Calista would be hugging her uncle will change to Cecilia hugging someone, most likely her sister. If you kill both Calista and Cecilia it will show a random citizen hugging another random citizen Also also, if in low chaos you kill either Piero or Sokolov the elixir that saves everyone from the plague will never exist so the last images will be of high chaos but the Outsider will narrate as if it was low chaos
@cameronnovy3718 If you don't get detected and don't kill anyone, I believe there isn't any dialogue. It's as if no one knows you've escaped so no one can tell Daud about it. It has been a while since I last played, though, so I may be wrong in this
@@daggers7765 If you go back to get your gear and have to restart the refinery, that's what gives you the dialogue. It's something like "Corvo is gone and nobody saw anything, and it seems the refinery is up and running again".
@@daggers7765 There are also some assassins that check the refinery just before you go inside, they are currently looking for you at that point. So yeah I think if you skip the refinery you move before they check on you again.
In the final mission of Dishonored 2 you can find this drawing 1:18 along with a drawing of Jessamine in Corvo's quarters. Corvo kept them for all those years and even had them framed.
It's implied that Dishonored's cannon ending is dependant on how you play the first mission of Dishonored 2. This is because The Outsider will address you differently dependent on your chaos level for the first mission. On high chaos, he will refer to Corvo as a killer and make references to the high chaos ending of Dishonored 1, while on Low Chaos, he will refer to the events of Dishinored 1 as they would be in a Low Chaos playthrough.
On my first run I went High Chaos because I enjoyed the gore and violence Turning the corner into Corvo's room and seeing the horrendous wall-wide mask drawing is forever etched in my brain This game is awesome
There's a lot of attention to detail in this game, it's one of my all-time favorites. Also, with Lydia and the keyhole, you can go in and talk to her. You can tell her that Piero was spying on her, and also flirt with her by asking if you could join her. I think her response varies depending on your Chaos level, but with Low Chaos she says she'd be happy for you to join if it weren't for everything going on with the city. Edit: I found this out when I was doing an exploration playthrough, I went and tried to see all the dialogue and interactions as well as differences made throughout the game. So being able to open the door is what made me open the door and discover the dialogue with her.
@@Tank82111 i tried using windblast on it. The broken door pieces will hit Callista and causes the game to be over, due to "irreconcilable hostilities."
There's also another low/high chaos version when you engage Daud in fight. In low chaos he tells his assassins to back off, that "this is his fight."( applies even after you defeat him and then he asks for mercy) In high chaos he orders every single assassin to attack and kill Corvor. (Appplies In high chaos even after you defeat him and he asks for mercy) PS: Great content and I also hope another episode about low/high chaos changes!!
Also, if you fight and Spare him in Low Chaos, the whalers/assassins all become non-hostile and you can explore/loot the Flooded District in peace. Meanwhile if you kill him or Spare him in High Chaos they all stay hostile and attack on sight.
If I remember correctly if you take all story targets in non-lethal fashion he mentions that he should've done the same instead of killing people when he asks for mercy
15:41 Interesting thing about this: There's a variation to this High Chaos scene where Samuel doesn't actually fire off a round into the air to signal to the guard stationed there that you're there. In my own High Chaos playthrough, I just killed hostiles situated in the same area as the mission's target and never killed civilians when I got that scene variation. I also never let myself get seen and did a few extra actions that likely normally positively affects your level of Chaos.
High chaos is better in gameplay but worse in consequences. Though hearing the outsider say he had a lot of fun kinda encourages you to go massacre mode at least once
the building becoming full of weepers is legit the most shocked I was in my high chaos playthrough. mostly cuz I was hoping i'd hear dialogue that makes them seem even MORE on edge lol my favorite part about this game was definitely the stuff you hear people say, like in the campbell mission where two overseers kill that third dude who was sick. I didnt get to see that one until I did my first ghost playthrough after nearly 80 hours of playtime
People talk about RDR 2's details but no one knows Dishonored was the first one to add such easter eggs and incredile details. One of the best games in that gaming history!
I remember playing this game for the first time in 2017. I was really amused by Corvo’s powers especially those quick assassinations and the rat spawns and I was hurt when samuel alerted the enemies on the final mission so I chopped his head and feed his bodies to the piranhas.
bruh him alerting makes no sense, oh hey let me take you to the hideout where they are hiding emily, oh by the way you suck let me alarm everyone your here? Bruh why even take him there, if he is the "worst man alive." I thought of him as a homie up until then, but he also lowkey stupid
Okay, I didn't kill that many people so Samuel was disappointed but didn't turn on me If he did...I probably would have done the same as you. My first reaction when I saw Samuel turning on me in the video was rage and the urge to kill him I guess this really says something about me oof
I actually didn't like the way he talked to me in my high chaos run so I ended up killing him before getting off the boat and before he could alert them. They showed his gravestone afterwards that did make me a lil' sad
Imagine having an influential noblewoman go missing at her own party, only to see the name of your Empress' alleged assassin signed in the guest book. How big of a flex is that?
despite how much fun being a badass assassin in this game is i always feel a bit bad because you can feel the world around you just get worse and worse as time goes on, absolutely brilliant world building
This game is just too good, And the high chaos ending ( more like MAX chaos ) is heart breaking, that Samuel says you're the worst and shots the sky to warn everyone on the isle that you're coming Yeah you can choose spare most people to get low chaos ending but still, damn
It actually suits the playstyles of the player. In the low chaos there are less enemies and people are more relaxed, which is advantageous for ghost style. In high chaos there are more rats, weepers, enemies are more intense, which is actually good for players who wants high body counts.
I always kill Samuel on high chaos, considering he has the plague it is a much more kind fate than slowly degrading & becoming a weeper, he's far too good a man to deserve that kind of suffering. Sokolov's test subject is another instant mercy kill for me too. I was actually so damn confused the first time I'd made it to kingsparrow island on low chaos to see it was a bright, beautiful day, as in the 11 years that this game has been out I had never once beaten it on low chaos until like a week and a half ago. btw some of the wanted posters actually have to do with stage detection's, if you are never spotted nobody actually knows about the masked felon 'cause nobody has ever seen Corvo running around in his mask. so many little details here & there that I'd just never paid attention to until rather recently.
Tips for true pacifist runners. Always talk with lord Pendleton after dealing with his brother and check near your bed. You’ll get a rune and some cash. Just like with Pendleton, you’ll find a time next to your bed for taking care of lady Boyle, and it’s from her sisters no less, but you have to sign the guest book so they know exactly who to send it to and exactly who had so many chances to make it their last night alive while also figuring out which Boyle was which.
It's interesting to see how easier the game becomes overall while doing Low Chaos, since the people are less paranoid about you. But, on exchange, it's harder to play it, since you're very restricted when it comes to combat.
I hated Havelock since then, the power hungry bastard betrays Corvo no matter how low or high his chaos is With over 1,330 hours playing Dishonored, I always suspected that Havelock was up to no good while I was away on missions like abducting Sokolov, giving Lady Boyle to her lover or exposing Hiram for the shitshow he caused during his time as the Lord Regent
You're kidding me right? 😂 Havelock and the rest of the Loyalist Conspiracy (except for Samuel, Callista, Piero) definitely gave off a "will betray you after you've done our dirty work" lol You can see it from their way their character model looks and also the plot where a party helps you dethrone someone else only to end up taking their place and betraying you is so cliché I'm surprised people didn't see it coming 😅 Still Dishonored gamewise and storywise are one of my favourites.
15:50 wow that bastard really warned the opps. I never thought we made him that upset , now I gotta go replay this game just to get to that scene again. Man watching these videos brings back nostalgia of when I took weeks of loading saves trying to get the ghost trophy. Good times, better memories.
The best thing about that scene on high chaos is that it isn't a cut scene, so if you have good reflexes (or have watched the video and know what's coming), you can hinder him to get the warning shot off by silently shooting him with your crossbow. The ending will also change slightly based on whether you killed him or not.
I replayed it this week and holy cow I must have grown alot in the last 8 years. When I first played I practically had to fight through every level and I think I got alot of the side characters killed or accidentally killed them. This playthrough I maybe was spotted once every other mission and killed maybe one person when I was. It almost seemed too easy but it was rewarding to know I just did a better job.
When I first saw that Emily drew the mask on high chaos, I froze and felt shivers up my spine. It's so chilling to understand how that kid was impacted with what Corvo would do.
The picture at 1:13 is actually in Dishonored 2 if people didn’t realize. It’s in one of the hallways to the right of the Royal Protectors chambers from the balcony.
you do realise that the lighthouse scene has a medium chaos scene where Samuel says that's he's a little bit disappointed in Corvo and says that he thought that he just done it for the killings, and doesn't fire off the pistol.
I've only done a single high chaos playthrough so I don't know about many differences between low and high. There are two things that stuck with me though: 1. Emily was kinda dark towards the end. Not only the drawings, but dialogue too. One dialogue stuck with me. It was something like this when you meet her: "Did you kill them all? Good cuz I was going to when I become Empress." or something similar to that. Didn't really expect it at that moment and it caught me off guard 2. Samuel telling me how bad I am and using that warning shot really made me feel truly bad for a moment because of everything I've done
I think in terms of questioning “canon” it’s intentionally vague. But I think Corvo tore his way to the Golden Cat but did low chaos everywhere else. We do see High Chaos drawings in Emily’s Safe Room at the start of Dishonored 2, but we also see the “Daddy” drawing in _Corvo’s_ room in low chaos as well. Corvo has a minimum of 6 canonical kills as you must kill Whalers in the start of Dishonored and he kills 3 traitors at the start of Dishonored 2. I very much disagree with the pacifist purists who think Corvo would never kill anyone. The FIRST thing we do is play hide and seek with Emily (establishing their bond) and the SECOND thing we do is kill assassins. He does kill, but I think _low_ chaos is canonical for Dishonored and an Emily Low Chaos is canon for Dishonored 2.
Truly bro thank you so much for compiling everything into a video. This is an amazing game with so many small differences to spot, and I appreciate you, despite the fact that this game isn’t like a trendy game or anything making this video. Thank you liked and subbed
Well said, friend. This game, in my opinion, is goated. I have an outsider mark tattoo on my left arm. Didn't wanna get it on my hand for my job. Lol. But yeah.
I remember doing low chaos to do all the neat alternatives to killing and stumbling upon the daddy drawing by Emily and I almost cried a little. Nothing plucks my heart more than a father and child relationship
This game was really ahead of its time. I think it was overshadowed by Bioshock which came before it. Not to say Bioshock is a bad game but Dishonored did a lot of amazing things as well.
Nice work! It really is fascinating to see these sligt minor differences in the game, never noticed it in my own playthroughs. Keep it up, hope to see more videos about dishonored series
Very well made video. Having played the game on different chaos levels very recently, I'm sure there are some intermediate levels of high and low. On my high chaos run I still did much stealthing and didn't rampage through everything. So it was still the high chaos finale, but Samuel didn't alert the guards. He chased me off his boat and wasn't too friendly about it but he still didn't tell me I was the worst of the bunch and also didn't alert the guards. This game is better than most RPGs on world building and decisions and consequences. Everyone who likes it should definitely play it multiple times and explore as many approaches as possible
Low chaos: Leave the location undetected and render enemies and main targets unconscious. (Or kill the main targets) High chaos: Kill all enemies you come across, including main targets. I had started playing a few weeks and I'm almost done.
Absolutely amazing to see people making videos about my favorite game of all time. Considering it's been 10 years, it really shows people still enjoys this masterpiece. Really informative and interesting video, keep up the great work! also you just earned a sub
At the party I pickpocketed EVERYONE I could. Made thousands. I though it'd be hilarious if that were also in the letter in the last clip. "Someone signed their name as Corvo Attano, and Lady Boyle went missing.... strange.. OH and everyone reported their wallets as being missing...huh."
Sorry if it is badly written, I am Russian and used Google Translate If you run past Daud's assassins so that they notice you, but without killing them, the assassin will report to Daud that Corvo went through all the blockposts effortlessly
Honestly I feel so bad for Emily in High Chaos... Just knowing what her dad's done and the increase in rats takes such a toll on her mental health. Poor little girl.
Such a cool video! I love how Dishonored does this in such an understated but still palpable way. It's all there for the player to find, but we're not getting hit over the head with it to make the point. The presence of bigger consequences leads us to exploring and discovering the small things, if we're so inclined. Thanks for this compilation 👍
the game is how it should be played = Low Chaos the game is how we play it = High Chaos finished 4th time just last night... and for the first time with Low Chaos felt amazing!
You missed one,in the mission to deal with high overseer Campbell, in an overseer area. If you're low-chaos you can hear one ask to be killed by his friends since he thinks he has the plague and he recites the strictures. In high-chaos, he gets accused of having the plague and he gets killed without remorse from his friends
In dishonored 2 the conversations bettween citizens and guards also change depending on high or low chaos. In high chaos most of them fight each other or kill each other in low chaos it's just normal talking
The way I killed, Lord Regent was really cool in my opinion. I was being spotted by a tall boy. Then I possessed an overseer, walked into his quarters, and unpossessed the overseer and decapitated him
Played this game 3 times. Always went for low chaos. Couldn't stomach Emily seing Corvo as a murderer instead of dad. And they say gamers want only to kill.
I could go paragraphs on paragraphs about how much I love this game and how it's the *_most_* fun I've ever had in a game. But I won't and just say, great video showing the differences!
I recently did a full ghost & clean hands playthrough, did the flooded district without turning the refinery on, and the guard at daud's didnt even talk to daud, I assume that means that corvo wasnt even detected to have escaped
another thing about low and high chaos is in the golden cat. When you reach the top floor where one of the Pendleton twin is, You can hear the guards talk about your previous actions. The chat would go about how disciplined the masked felon is and that he might be one of Daud's men on low chaos. The chat turns to about merciless slaughterer on high chaos.
If you get low chaos in all missions besides the second last one samuel’s reaction is different. He’s rather less disappointed, and he doesn’t tell them your coming
That's not entirely true. I've gotten High Chaos in all missions but still got that scene. It's more just the number of NPCs killed, whether they were hostile or not, and other additional actions that affect your level of Chaos that dictate which High Chaos scene with Samuel you get in the last mission.
It's about how much Chaos you get. Low gets you the Low Chaos version, but if you're in High, there's an internal threshold for determining how Samuel acts.
It is humblingly great despite or even because of its focus on few aspects, rather than the sequel that feels bloated and disjointed. It really is a simple game, but it's executed almost masterfully. Only objectively bad thing is the pacing after Daud captures you ... it fixes itbwhen you finish that level, but that section is the worst in the entire game in my opinion.
Yeah and by far. From the design of the map to its areas to those annoying plant (?) motherfuckers that shoot their acidic cum at you everything is so annoying in that level.
Problem with the flooded district is in every other mission there are so many alternate paths but the flooded district, specifically dauds base has only one entrance.
I like the sequel a lot better. The world just felt more flavorful. Everything in Dishonored just felt like "Blah blah blah, look at me, I'm a fantasy world"
Great vid, youve earned a sub. Another interesting thing is that if you get high chaos but not TOO high (kill just about enough people to give high chaos rating but not literally everyone), in the final mission samuel has a whole different speech. He says "i'm a little disappointed corvo, its like youve gone out of your way to be brutal"
Yo Emily's drawings are heart breaking! Edit: The world seems sick on high chaos, everyone is sick and tired and they all talk as if they're just done!
@@hidan407 Not a bug. Some of these do not depend on Chaos level, but rather on your choices. I've played through with a "professional" approach, where I kill nobody except for the targets, and triggered some of these despite always staying at low Chaos.
1:13 wait, Emily wrote daddy on top of Corvo's drawing? This is probably not intended. According to the lore Emily doesn't know that Corvo is her father in the first game, Calista in hound pits will hesitantly ask you about rumours about Corvo and the empress if you speak with her before any mission at the beginning.
In the end when Samuel said "Get off my boat" I was so peeved off at him I killed him with my sword right on the boat. Didn't know he would fire a pistol until now.
I actually prefer how grim high chaos makes the mood of this game, although if I were to choose a canon play through it’d probably be low chaos but kill most of the targets.
There's a version of when Samuel is taking you to the Light House, it's a mix of the two shown in the video. I think it only happens if you kill within a certain range.

Some of these differences are actually detected/undetected. The ‘unknown assailant’ on the posters lasts as long as you don’t get spotted at all. For the Lord Regent’s Zoom call, he comes downstairs if you haven’t spotted in that mission in the outdoors section.
Regent comes down only in low chaos, and only if you weren't spotted. In high chaos he won't come down regardless.
Zoom call, lmao good one
Kind of makes you think how terrifying high chaos ghost with the hide-bodies skill must be. Entire blocks of people disappearing without any understanding of who or what's doing it.
@@HA-ot6uf Entire blocks of dead bodies are equally terrifying, I think.
I remember branding Campbell, the Pendleton's, kidnapping Sokolov and Boyle and signing Corvos name at the Boyle party, which was HILARIOUS and insulting.

I always will sign the Guest list though just to be mean.
No joke
Emily's big drawing of the mask on the wall, the one made up from the small segments is sick, i love it.
Was the best part of my chaos run for sure. I love all Emily's pictures from the Chaos run.
it's was a bit creepy tho, like how merciless corvo is
@@Hateful_Rex Or the fact that she misses corvo that much
Honestly, although the big drawing of the mask is freaking awesome, it breaks my heart to see Emily turn from an innocent joyous girl who loves Corvo into a girl haunted by fear and only sees Corvo as a masked Vigilante

I love the stealthy/low chaos raid of Daud's hideout. Corvo is basically teabagging this group of legendary assassins telling them "You showed me I'm not that great a bodyguard. Guess I'm better at your jobs tho".
Even cooler if you steal Daud's stuff without him noticing.
Hehe I kind of wish I could see Daud's reaction to getting his stuff stolen
@@beanbrain6162 I hope it's him breaking a cold sweat as he realizes Corvo was there and didn't kill him

Kind of like what we hear in the game
And he sighed, told them to leave, and sat down in a chair to reflect for a moment
He felt a knife poke in his back, instantly knew it wasn't a blade the assassins normally use, and 'took it for the message that it was'.

I think doing the Lady Boyle party mission in complete stealth without being detected and not killing anyone while signing the guest book is the biggest FU that you can do. It's like saying "yes, I'm THAT good". Killing's easy, but not killing and still avoid being seen - that's hard.
Did the same, glad I'm not the only one who thinks that was a great move.
Bet Burrows pissed his pants when reading that report
Lady Boyle being super easy to lure out makes this the easiest low chaos mission in the game too
Emily's change in personality depending on your chaos is the pure example of Parental influence. I love how any one who wants the best for her would want to keep the chaos as down as possible. I certainly did.
That one guy from outsidexbox certainly didn’t care
Tbh that last clip is ultimate disrespect on Corvo's part. Dude's like public enemy number 1 with wanted posters literally all over the city, and he signs the guest book with his full name before killing/kidnapping a highly influential figure at her own party. Pretty much an ultimate F- you to the state. Love it.
Don't forget that he's also wearing the mask of a famous outlaw, as far as the government knows there were two wanted men who were possibly there. Of course they blame the masked felon and write off Corvo being there. (Pretty dumb of them to not connect the dots and realise who the felon is...)
@Red Knight did you get the black forces or white forces ending
lmao I also did that, and I was so shocked to see Corvo just putting his full name on the guest list
I was like, bruh, aren't you on the wanted list? Why are you so casual about it?
Imagine how it must be from the other perspective. You throw a party and either one of your sisters gets abducted or she, and perhaps other people, are killed.
And in the aftermath a servant tells you that your guest book was signed by the one dude everyone thinks has killed the empress and who might be the masked assailant considering that only a short time after he escaped, high profile people started dropping and a masked dude started roaming streets.
Or imagine an investigator coming to the slaughter that the high end party has become and seeing that name in last place in the guest book.
I always thought that was such a good dig at the people hunting him lmao
There's a detail that I haven't seen mentioned anywhere: at the hideout when Havelock is talking about Emily's education (after some mission I don't remember), in low chaos he mentions teaching math, science, astronomy; while in high chaos he mentions teaching religion, politics, etc
In low chaos he's teaching her stuff a child should know, in high chaos it's something an empress should know
@@denisucuuu I believe it's more about actually educating, versus trying to indoctrinate her, with probably biased religion and politics. Who knows.
@@pablogafiloco4916 nothing different from the education system today
@@pablogafiloco4916mfw it's the education system
@@pablogafiloco4916 I think its probably more about trying to wash away Corvo's corrupting influence.
There is also a medium chaos scenario for the boat ride with Samuel by the end...There he will berate Corvo for killing but will not consider him one of the worst people alive and will not betray him
Are you serious? How do you get that scenario?
@@waserjo7834 its true. i got that. he doesnt say you are the worst of all. he says he is disappointed. also he doesnt fire the warning pistol. No idea how to get it though, it's just my normal playthrough
@@waserjo7834 As I heard before (but never checked it for myself) you have to be at high chaos and spare all story targets.
th-cam.com/video/an-wuHsWi74/w-d-xo.html
@@waserjo7834 you basically have to have a mix of low and high chaos ratings on your missions, with the final one being high. Kill enough people to get high chaos at the end but not TOO many people
Ya cos when I saw this video I realised mine was different to both high and low
Legitimately had no idea the chaos system affected the world this much. All this detail that most people would never even see... Amazing
For sure, really makes the games’ replay value that much more concrete, there’s so many different ways to go about playing it and experiencing what it has to offer.
Fantastic game, a masterpiece
It doesn't. Lots of these examples are based on explicit choices and whether you've been seen. You can kill all the targets and still be low-chaos.
It's why immersive sims will never be "big big", most play them as simple hipshooters.
Dishonored has a way of humanizing NPCs that is unparalleled. It’s the only game I think I’ve ever genuinely felt bad for killing an NPC and each time I had to it was a true moral conundrum
Red Dead Redemption 2
Try Vampyr
@@dumbleking5172rdr2 isn't that bad because it doesn't affect your gameplay much as dishonored and the dishonored npc's feel more alive
you never have to kill anyone in the game tho
@@davidk.8011 I know. That’s why it’s amazing
This is one of the best games I've ever played. I just beat this game on Low Chaos yesterday, I got Clean Hands, Ghost, Mostly Flesh and Steel, and Shadow achievements for that playthrough. Later on today, I'm going to start my High Chaos playthrough.
You play the second game yet?
If your on Xbox and doing high chaos, map RT to slash. LT to block and RB to use ability,. This means you can spam slash and dodge easily whilst blocking
You know that feeling then when all those trophies or Achievments come popping up on the screen....so satisfying lmao

I'm a Low Chaos kind of guy but I have to admit that the final mission is much more spectacular on a High Chaos run; the weather, difficulty, and the interaction with the targets have a much more climactic feel to them.
Yep the low chaos version of the mission imo feels like a victory lap as a reward for keeping things as clean as possible you get a breeze of a mission.While the high chaos variant is pretty much the final test everything and everyone is out to get you even the environment it’s pretty damn cool.
The final mission on high chaos is what corvos revenge TRULY is as Samuel says "I'm going to tell them your coming", he wasn't doing that so they'd stop you he knew they couldn't literally no one could, but telling them made you hack and slash your way through every single person on the isle and truly fulfills the culmination of high chaos, one man cutting his way through an entire fortified island and not a single survivor in sight
That and Pendleton and Martin aren't already dead by the time you get there. Feels much more climactic this way.
Corvo is by far the coolest\scariest good-guy-but-rocks-the-bad-guy-look game hero I've seen
yeeesss and more people need to say it
Literally Sol Badguy
When the assassin talks to Daud about Corvo escaping, the dialogue also changes if Corvo doesn't kill anyone but gets detected, so there are 3 possible dialogues there between Daud and the assassin
Also, if you get the low chaos ending but kill Calista (you kill her yourself) the game won't fail, it will continue as normal and in the end when Calista would be hugging her uncle will change to Cecilia hugging someone, most likely her sister. If you kill both Calista and Cecilia it will show a random citizen hugging another random citizen
Also also, if in low chaos you kill either Piero or Sokolov the elixir that saves everyone from the plague will never exist so the last images will be of high chaos but the Outsider will narrate as if it was low chaos
*_Holy f*cking sh*t_*
There are four possible dialogues, depending on lethal vs. non-lethal and detected vs. undetected.
@cameronnovy3718 If you don't get detected and don't kill anyone, I believe there isn't any dialogue. It's as if no one knows you've escaped so no one can tell Daud about it. It has been a while since I last played, though, so I may be wrong in this
@@daggers7765 If you go back to get your gear and have to restart the refinery, that's what gives you the dialogue. It's something like "Corvo is gone and nobody saw anything, and it seems the refinery is up and running again".
@@daggers7765 There are also some assassins that check the refinery just before you go inside, they are currently looking for you at that point. So yeah I think if you skip the refinery you move before they check on you again.
In the final mission of Dishonored 2 you can find this drawing 1:18 along with a drawing of Jessamine in Corvo's quarters. Corvo kept them for all those years and even had them framed.
A lot of the drawings can be found in the first mission of dishonored 2 as well in the secret passage place
so would that mean that low chaos is the canon ending?
never played DIshonored 2 so can't know if it was directly stated
It's implied that Dishonored's cannon ending is dependant on how you play the first mission of Dishonored 2.
This is because The Outsider will address you differently dependent on your chaos level for the first mission.
On high chaos, he will refer to Corvo as a killer and make references to the high chaos ending of Dishonored 1, while on Low Chaos, he will refer to the events of Dishinored 1 as they would be in a Low Chaos playthrough.
On my first run I went High Chaos because I enjoyed the gore and violence
Turning the corner into Corvo's room and seeing the horrendous wall-wide mask drawing is forever etched in my brain
This game is awesome
There's a lot of attention to detail in this game, it's one of my all-time favorites.
Also, with Lydia and the keyhole, you can go in and talk to her. You can tell her that Piero was spying on her, and also flirt with her by asking if you could join her. I think her response varies depending on your Chaos level, but with Low Chaos she says she'd be happy for you to join if it weren't for everything going on with the city.
Edit: I found this out when I was doing an exploration playthrough, I went and tried to see all the dialogue and interactions as well as differences made throughout the game. So being able to open the door is what made me open the door and discover the dialogue with her.
She says the same thing in High Chaos as well.
The door is wooden, what if you break it with fire bolts before the bath? Will anything change? In my next play through I’ll try it
@@Tank82111 i tried using windblast on it. The broken door pieces will hit Callista and causes the game to be over, due to "irreconcilable hostilities."
It respawned :/
@@kevynmina2209 try with fire bolts it stops the door and makes it fall and I do it before they do the keyhole
There's also another low/high chaos version when you engage Daud in fight.
In low chaos he tells his assassins to back off, that "this is his fight."( applies even after you defeat him and then he asks for mercy)
In high chaos he orders every single assassin to attack and kill Corvor. (Appplies
In high chaos even after you defeat him and he asks for mercy)
PS: Great content and I also hope another episode about low/high chaos changes!!
I Corvor 💀
Also, if you fight and Spare him in Low Chaos, the whalers/assassins all become non-hostile and you can explore/loot the Flooded District in peace.
Meanwhile if you kill him or Spare him in High Chaos they all stay hostile and attack on sight.
"and you chose mercy, extraordinary"
If I remember correctly if you take all story targets in non-lethal fashion he mentions that he should've done the same instead of killing people when he asks for mercy
@@avarius3361 indeed
The satisfaction of finishing the playthrough without getting detected is great but high chaos gameplay is just 🤤
15:41 Interesting thing about this: There's a variation to this High Chaos scene where Samuel doesn't actually fire off a round into the air to signal to the guard stationed there that you're there. In my own High Chaos playthrough, I just killed hostiles situated in the same area as the mission's target and never killed civilians when I got that scene variation. I also never let myself get seen and did a few extra actions that likely normally positively affects your level of Chaos.
I believe you need over 75% people killed for the gun scene, but the wiki says over 50%.
Getting low chaos is SO much more satisfying... Finally an incentive to be the good guy
I feel the complete opposite, high chaos is wonderful. Being the bad guy is so fun.
@@jaydenshepard7928 i just finished in high chaos , i feel depressed now . imma replay for low chaos.
@@Gold-p2p LOL! Same... I still gonna do High Chaos Ghost run before doing the Low Chaos run.
High chaos is better in gameplay but worse in consequences. Though hearing the outsider say he had a lot of fun kinda encourages you to go massacre mode at least once
@@jaydenshepard7928yes just yes lol ALWAYS high chaos >:)
the building becoming full of weepers is legit the most shocked I was in my high chaos playthrough. mostly cuz I was hoping i'd hear dialogue that makes them seem even MORE on edge lol
my favorite part about this game was definitely the stuff you hear people say, like in the campbell mission where two overseers kill that third dude who was sick. I didnt get to see that one until I did my first ghost playthrough after nearly 80 hours of playtime
And that dialogue varies depending on your chaos level.
People talk about RDR 2's details but no one knows Dishonored was the first one to add such easter eggs and incredile details. One of the best games in that gaming history!
I remember playing this game for the first time in 2017. I was really amused by Corvo’s powers especially those quick assassinations and the rat spawns and I was hurt when samuel alerted the enemies on the final mission so I chopped his head and feed his bodies to the piranhas.
Hard turn there 🤣🤣🤣
Oh my gosh
same 😆
bruh him alerting makes no sense, oh hey let me take you to the hideout where they are hiding emily, oh by the way you suck let me alarm everyone your here? Bruh why even take him there, if he is the "worst man alive." I thought of him as a homie up until then, but he also lowkey stupid
Okay, I didn't kill that many people so Samuel was disappointed but didn't turn on me
If he did...I probably would have done the same as you.
My first reaction when I saw Samuel turning on me in the video was rage and the urge to kill him
I guess this really says something about me oof
I actually didn't like the way he talked to me in my high chaos run so I ended up killing him before getting off the boat and before he could alert them. They showed his gravestone afterwards that did make me a lil' sad
Imagine having an influential noblewoman go missing at her own party, only to see the name of your Empress' alleged assassin signed in the guest book. How big of a flex is that?
despite how much fun being a badass assassin in this game is i always feel a bit bad because you can feel the world around you just get worse and worse as time goes on, absolutely brilliant world building
This game is just too good,
And the high chaos ending ( more like MAX chaos ) is heart breaking, that Samuel says you're the worst and shots the sky to warn everyone on the isle that you're coming
Yeah you can choose spare most people to get low chaos ending but still, damn
It actually suits the playstyles of the player. In the low chaos there are less enemies and people are more relaxed, which is advantageous for ghost style. In high chaos there are more rats, weepers, enemies are more intense, which is actually good for players who wants high body counts.
I always kill Samuel on high chaos, considering he has the plague it is a much more kind fate than slowly degrading & becoming a weeper, he's far too good a man to deserve that kind of suffering.
Sokolov's test subject is another instant mercy kill for me too.
I was actually so damn confused the first time I'd made it to kingsparrow island on low chaos to see it was a bright, beautiful day, as in the 11 years that this game has been out I had never once beaten it on low chaos until like a week and a half ago.
btw some of the wanted posters actually have to do with stage detection's, if you are never spotted nobody actually knows about the masked felon 'cause nobody has ever seen Corvo running around in his mask.
so many little details here & there that I'd just never paid attention to until rather recently.
I see why many fans figured out Emily’s father way before Dishonored 2 came out the drawing has that big ‘Daddy’ above Corvo’s head lol.
Tips for true pacifist runners.
Always talk with lord Pendleton after dealing with his brother and check near your bed. You’ll get a rune and some cash.
Just like with Pendleton, you’ll find a time next to your bed for taking care of lady Boyle, and it’s from her sisters no less, but you have to sign the guest book so they know exactly who to send it to and exactly who had so many chances to make it their last night alive while also figuring out which Boyle was which.
I didn't sign, and I still got it.
It's interesting to see how easier the game becomes overall while doing Low Chaos, since the people are less paranoid about you. But, on exchange, it's harder to play it, since you're very restricted when it comes to combat.
It still blows my mind to this day that Havelock betrayed Corvo. This was such a good game.
I hated Havelock since then, the power hungry bastard betrays Corvo no matter how low or high his chaos is
With over 1,330 hours playing Dishonored, I always suspected that Havelock was up to no good while I was away on missions like abducting Sokolov, giving Lady Boyle to her lover or exposing Hiram for the shitshow he caused during his time as the Lord Regent
You're kidding me right? 😂 Havelock and the rest of the Loyalist Conspiracy (except for Samuel, Callista, Piero) definitely gave off a "will betray you after you've done our dirty work" lol
You can see it from their way their character model looks and also the plot where a party helps you dethrone someone else only to end up taking their place and betraying you is so cliché I'm surprised people didn't see it coming 😅 Still Dishonored gamewise and storywise are one of my favourites.
If you used the heart to read what is inside people's and who they are, it becomes obvious which ones are good and bad
I had a feeling that Havelock was hiding something. Pendleton definitely gave off the vibes of a snake. But Martin? That actually surprised me.
@@elitegamer9310The heart tell you that Martin tried to rape this cousin and he litterally shit on the rules of oversers. So not really a good guy.
15:50 wow that bastard really warned the opps. I never thought we made him that upset , now I gotta go replay this game just to get to that scene again. Man watching these videos brings back nostalgia of when I took weeks of loading saves trying to get the ghost trophy. Good times, better memories.
The best thing about that scene on high chaos is that it isn't a cut scene, so if you have good reflexes (or have watched the video and know what's coming), you can hinder him to get the warning shot off by silently shooting him with your crossbow. The ending will also change slightly based on whether you killed him or not.
It's amazing to see how much the details change with different levels of chaos if you have the patience to look for them all.
I replayed it this week and holy cow I must have grown alot in the last 8 years. When I first played I practically had to fight through every level and I think I got alot of the side characters killed or accidentally killed them. This playthrough I maybe was spotted once every other mission and killed maybe one person when I was. It almost seemed too easy but it was rewarding to know I just did a better job.
It's the grindset 😎
The daud and his assassin one isnt tied to chaos but detection. I just did a low chaos run and got the "he has beaten us" cut scene
When I first saw that Emily drew the mask on high chaos, I froze and felt shivers up my spine. It's so chilling to understand how that kid was impacted with what Corvo would do.
I feel bad for the officer who tried to make a conversation with the overseer
When Emily's drawings changed I felt that.
The picture at 1:13 is actually in Dishonored 2 if people didn’t realize. It’s in one of the hallways to the right of the Royal Protectors chambers from the balcony.
you do realise that the lighthouse scene has a medium chaos scene where Samuel says that's he's a little bit disappointed in Corvo and says that he thought that he just done it for the killings, and doesn't fire off the pistol.
I've only done a single high chaos playthrough so I don't know about many differences between low and high. There are two things that stuck with me though:
1. Emily was kinda dark towards the end. Not only the drawings, but dialogue too. One dialogue stuck with me. It was something like this when you meet her: "Did you kill them all? Good cuz I was going to when I become Empress." or something similar to that. Didn't really expect it at that moment and it caught me off guard
2. Samuel telling me how bad I am and using that warning shot really made me feel truly bad for a moment because of everything I've done
I love how Emily's drawing skills are much more advanced when it's high chaos
I think in terms of questioning “canon” it’s intentionally vague.
But I think Corvo tore his way to the Golden Cat but did low chaos everywhere else.
We do see High Chaos drawings in Emily’s Safe Room at the start of Dishonored 2, but we also see the “Daddy” drawing in _Corvo’s_ room in low chaos as well.
Corvo has a minimum of 6 canonical kills as you must kill Whalers in the start of Dishonored and he kills 3 traitors at the start of Dishonored 2.
I very much disagree with the pacifist purists who think Corvo would never kill anyone.
The FIRST thing we do is play hide and seek with Emily (establishing their bond) and the SECOND thing we do is kill assassins.
He does kill, but I think _low_ chaos is canonical for Dishonored and an Emily Low Chaos is canon for Dishonored 2.
Truly bro thank you so much for compiling everything into a video. This is an amazing game with so many small differences to spot, and I appreciate you, despite the fact that this game isn’t like a trendy game or anything making this video. Thank you liked and subbed
Well said, friend. This game, in my opinion, is goated. I have an outsider mark tattoo on my left arm. Didn't wanna get it on my hand for my job. Lol. But yeah.
@@keironthomson6769 hmmm you're giving me an idea I don't like
Dude this is awesome. Thank you so much for making this.
Never thought there were this many differences
Thank you so much and you are welcome
I remember doing low chaos to do all the neat alternatives to killing and stumbling upon the daddy drawing by Emily and I almost cried a little. Nothing plucks my heart more than a father and child relationship
This game was really ahead of its time. I think it was overshadowed by Bioshock which came before it. Not to say Bioshock is a bad game but Dishonored did a lot of amazing things as well.
Nice work! It really is fascinating to see these sligt minor differences in the game, never noticed it in my own playthroughs. Keep it up, hope to see more videos about dishonored series
Not gonna lie, I killed Samuel when he said he was going to alerte the guards
Very well made video. Having played the game on different chaos levels very recently, I'm sure there are some intermediate levels of high and low. On my high chaos run I still did much stealthing and didn't rampage through everything. So it was still the high chaos finale, but Samuel didn't alert the guards. He chased me off his boat and wasn't too friendly about it but he still didn't tell me I was the worst of the bunch and also didn't alert the guards.
This game is better than most RPGs on world building and decisions and consequences. Everyone who likes it should definitely play it multiple times and explore as many approaches as possible
I like how the voice lines are changed in mood and in tone and not cooky cutter like a lot of other games do.
I always discover new things about this game, truly a masterpiece.
I like high chaos kingsparrow isle a lot more honestly, the whole dreary rain setting suits it better
Low chaos: Leave the location undetected and render enemies and main targets unconscious. (Or kill the main targets)
High chaos: Kill all enemies you come across, including main targets.
I had started playing a few weeks and I'm almost done.
Reach Low caos is really hard.
Absolutely amazing to see people making videos about my favorite game of all time. Considering it's been 10 years, it really shows people still enjoys this masterpiece. Really informative and interesting video, keep up the great work! also you just earned a sub
Jesus Emily's pictures are just haunting. The thought of her becoming a psychopath is unsettling and horrifying...
The amount of detail in this game.
Legendary.
i find it cute that Emily loves Corvo no matter the chaos level. and also Samuel giving you half the poison no matter what
I agree, this shows how positive these characters are
I like how in the book Corvo slayed EVERYONE who stop his way but in the game we're playing with moral but it's still fun
At the party I pickpocketed EVERYONE I could. Made thousands. I though it'd be hilarious if that were also in the letter in the last clip.
"Someone signed their name as Corvo Attano, and Lady Boyle went missing.... strange.. OH and everyone reported their wallets as being missing...huh."
I have been waiting for years for this comparison video. Thank you
You are welcome
In high chaos if you kill samuel after the last ride corvo visits his grave at the end screen.
1:10 do you know what this is? this is the drawing that made me play the whole game low chaos.
Sorry if it is badly written, I am Russian and used Google Translate
If you run past Daud's assassins so that they notice you, but without killing them, the assassin will report to Daud that Corvo went through all the blockposts effortlessly
Honestly I feel so bad for Emily in High Chaos... Just knowing what her dad's done and the increase in rats takes such a toll on her mental health. Poor little girl.
Such a cool video! I love how Dishonored does this in such an understated but still palpable way. It's all there for the player to find, but we're not getting hit over the head with it to make the point. The presence of bigger consequences leads us to exploring and discovering the small things, if we're so inclined.
Thanks for this compilation 👍
Dishonoured. The game that keeps on giving. Legendary game. I play to this day.
the game is how it should be played = Low Chaos
the game is how we play it = High Chaos
finished 4th time just last night... and for the first time with Low Chaos
felt amazing!
It's very hard reach the Low Caos, even killing a few enemies I always finish at High Caos
@lucasferreirasouza6623 High Chaos has basically one requirement- kill 50% of people in the game. It's very easy to not get it
You missed one,in the mission to deal with high overseer Campbell, in an overseer area. If you're low-chaos you can hear one ask to be killed by his friends since he thinks he has the plague and he recites the strictures. In high-chaos, he gets accused of having the plague and he gets killed without remorse from his friends
That was in the first video
That's not even High Chaos. That happens if you have any Chaos at all - such as one guard killing himself during your Clean Hands Ghost run.
In dishonored 2 the conversations bettween citizens and guards also change depending on high or low chaos.
In high chaos most of them fight each other or kill each other
in low chaos it's just normal talking
Why does tragedy make Emily a better artist...?
Actually, scratch that, it makes perfect sense
The way I killed, Lord Regent was really cool in my opinion. I was being spotted by a tall boy. Then I possessed an overseer, walked into his quarters, and unpossessed the overseer and decapitated him
That edit at 2:40 is incredible. I noticed that the chaos level changed but the transition was so fluid. Bravo
0:43 Who could the masked felon be? Certainly not this guy in the adjacent wanted poster wearing the same exact jacket.
Dishonored is an amazing game, one of my favourites of all time, the lore and the gameplay, the abillities available, etc... is just perfect
Played this game 3 times. Always went for low chaos. Couldn't stomach Emily seing Corvo as a murderer instead of dad. And they say gamers want only to kill.
I could go paragraphs on paragraphs about how much I love this game and how it's the *_most_* fun I've ever had in a game. But I won't and just say, great video showing the differences!
I recently did a full ghost & clean hands playthrough, did the flooded district without turning the refinery on, and the guard at daud's didnt even talk to daud, I assume that means that corvo wasnt even detected to have escaped
another thing about low and high chaos is in the golden cat. When you reach the top floor where one of the Pendleton twin is, You can hear the guards talk about your previous actions. The chat would go about how disciplined the masked felon is and that he might be one of Daud's men on low chaos. The chat turns to about merciless slaughterer on high chaos.
If you get low chaos in all missions besides the second last one samuel’s reaction is different. He’s rather less disappointed, and he doesn’t tell them your coming
That's not entirely true. I've gotten High Chaos in all missions but still got that scene. It's more just the number of NPCs killed, whether they were hostile or not, and other additional actions that affect your level of Chaos that dictate which High Chaos scene with Samuel you get in the last mission.
It's about how much Chaos you get. Low gets you the Low Chaos version, but if you're in High, there's an internal threshold for determining how Samuel acts.
It is humblingly great despite or even because of its focus on few aspects, rather than the sequel that feels bloated and disjointed.
It really is a simple game, but it's executed almost masterfully.
Only objectively bad thing is the pacing after Daud captures you ... it fixes itbwhen you finish that level, but that section is the worst in the entire game in my opinion.
Yeah and by far. From the design of the map to its areas to those annoying plant (?) motherfuckers that shoot their acidic cum at you everything is so annoying in that level.
i was so tired when i had to do it again in the dlc
Problem with the flooded district is in every other mission there are so many alternate paths but the flooded district, specifically dauds base has only one entrance.
I like the sequel a lot better. The world just felt more flavorful. Everything in Dishonored just felt like "Blah blah blah, look at me, I'm a fantasy world"
Great vid, youve earned a sub. Another interesting thing is that if you get high chaos but not TOO high (kill just about enough people to give high chaos rating but not literally everyone), in the final mission samuel has a whole different speech. He says "i'm a little disappointed corvo, its like youve gone out of your way to be brutal"
Yo Emily's drawings are heart breaking!
Edit: The world seems sick on high chaos, everyone is sick and tired and they all talk as if they're just done!
Some of the events in High Chaos also happens in low chaos.
Yeah, it kinda bothered me but then I realized its probably just a bug or so
@@hidan407 Not a bug. Some of these do not depend on Chaos level, but rather on your choices.
I've played through with a "professional" approach, where I kill nobody except for the targets, and triggered some of these despite always staying at low Chaos.
1:13 wait, Emily wrote daddy on top of Corvo's drawing? This is probably not intended. According to the lore Emily doesn't know that Corvo is her father in the first game, Calista in hound pits will hesitantly ask you about rumours about Corvo and the empress if you speak with her before any mission at the beginning.
In the end when Samuel said "Get off my boat" I was so peeved off at him I killed him with my sword right on the boat. Didn't know he would fire a pistol until now.
I actually prefer how grim high chaos makes the mood of this game, although if I were to choose a canon play through it’d probably be low chaos but kill most of the targets.
i couldnt care about emily or the city or any thing else what really make me feel bad when i do a high caos run is the last talk with samuel
Did you guys know you can take out the two guards taking to The Lord Regeant over the screen and then taunt him?
Yes im aware of that but i dont think the conversation changes i think on both chaoses
and then he just rings the alarm. that choice is pretty worthless, has no unique outcome for it
I genuinely gasped when i first saw Emily's drawing with Corvos Face saying Daddy LIKE WHEEEN???
Emily's drawing of Corvos mask is so Badass
Emily’s big drawing of masked Corvo is really cool.
I like the fact that Emily adopts corvos psychotic tendencies.
There's a version of when Samuel is taking you to the Light House, it's a mix of the two shown in the video. I think it only happens if you kill within a certain range.
This is the only game I've played where decisions truly matter to the ending
Just played the game again with high chaos and on the last mission, the boatsmen said other negative things and didnt fire a shot
One of the best games ever made and i still have a CD of it 😍
Even killing a few enemies I always finish the missions in High Caos.
