Noob Tips (Stealth etc)

[par]

Any tips for a person that has only played the D2 Demo? I would like to go through Dishonored on a stealth run, I don't mind the chaos level this time around. Any tips for a good stealth experience?

Stay high - that's about it lol

Like, stoned? I- I can do that, I guess... Oh, you mean- oh, ok

I was thinking of another way to write that because I knew someone would make that joke.

Donac dumb, wait wrong game.

Don't spam blink, wait for your mana to regan again to use it.
Be careful what skills you spend your ruins on

I would have written it stay above people's heads. 99% of the population in the game doesn't look up, so you can use air conditioning ducts, pipes, sturdy lights, and other similar structures to sneak around above people's heads and they won't see you.

Use blink to get to those surfaces; however, you will need to stay crouched. If you walk normally, you will make noise and they will hear you and go into alert mode.

Generally speaking, stay on high ground, guards rarely look up. For stealth, your best tools will be mobility (agility and blink upgrades) and the bend time power. Possession is pretty fun, but ultimately pointless when you have bend time upgraded.

Need to disagree here, bend time and possession makes a great combo. Your time is very limited once you use bend time, the last 2 or 3 seconds of it can be a matter of getting stopped or not; in those very end you could easily continue where you're going by possessing into someone or an animal

Not necessarily a tip, but an opinion: get your hand off the quickload button. Half the fun is escaping after you've been spotted. This is one of the better uses for posession actually: a rat's body is an excellent hiding place.

Otherwise: high ground and patience. Take your time and explore thoroughly, there are a lot of alternate paths both high and low if you look around. (not to mention that's where most of the story is)

also: enemies spot bodies much more easily than they spot you, keep this in mind if you're carrying one.

If aproaching an open area, find a vantage point. Sit up there for a few minutes, watch for guards walking around, pay attention to their patrol routes. When you think you know where they all are, find another vantage point and repeat.

If you overhear people talking, stay out of sight and listen to what they say. Most of the time it's the same old blurb, but occasionally they'll drop clues. Not necessarily for the level you're on...

Upgrade your blink, but don't spam it. Wait till your Mana is regenerated, take it slow and remember to use Dark Vision

[✪ColdDarkHeart]

Do it as if you were the one with powers in real life (just imagine). Let the fear of being seen engulf you instead of ignoring it as you know it's a game. Also, the rooftops are the best paths to take to remain stealthy.

Wait for blink to recharge, get the Blink II upgrade asap and while you're at it, upgrade the skill that lets you control other NPCs and learn to stop time, and stay crouched
