No chaos effect?

[MisinformedOwl]

Im currently going throught the campaign for a second time and for some reason i dont notice any differences between not killing and killing. not killing is starting to get to me and im wondering is there even an effect to the game in this one?

[MisinformedOwl]

PS there is nothing saying "Low chaos" at the end of the game like dishonored 2

Because there is no chaos system - I don't know how you couldn't notice it the first time playing it.
I think even Daud says that no matter what you will do, it won't matter for the world or something like that.

It may be a foreshadow of whats to come for the future of the game. That, in conjuction with the regenerative magic system, may be in store for us players in Dishonored 3.

I just presumed with every other dishonored not being like that. well that sucks.

Smith explained that in the interview they've put up.

Corvo and Emily both have high stakes in what happens to them and their cities/countries. Emily being royal, Corvo being at the top of the heap, both of them have direct influence in the level of chaos or order that their state has.

Billie however, has never had that kind of sway, and she's always more been swept along with the chaos wrought by the royals. There was no compelling reason to leave the chaos system in, because as an assassin she was only PART of the chaos, not the SOURCE of it. She and Daud both were tools of people - though obviously with Daud, his assassination targets were of the highest importance.

Billie's travel through Karnaca is more subtle, even though it's clearly of huge importance in the long run. But what she does has less impact, or at least, is part of the existing fabric of chaos.

Yes, more mainstreaming like the Fallout games as well as Elder Scrolls games. To make things more accessible for the larger market.

Personally I do not care for the chaos effect although I would not mind more dangers if the player just kills everything and everyone. But it makes no sense that this goes with everything, as in some cases it makes more sense for less chaos to come out of it if the right kind of people are wiped out. And I do long for some missions where morality goes completely out the windows because it all will be about survival, the most basic of human as well as animal instinct.

[Zekiran]

Yeah I like the regen mana, AND chaos, too. :)

I think they really pared down what the prior games do, for this one. It IS shorter, to be sure, but there is more story packed into this one than the first imo.

But they removed the powers and upgrades entirely - that's why the OG+ is kind of meh, to folks. I've enjoyed it, but there have certainly been times I *wanted* to have both kinds of vision AND displace AND domino...

So there's no multiple endings tied to your chaos? I'm currently on mission 4's last contract which involves killing everyone . Can I complete it without worrying about getting a bad ending?

Yeah slaughter away. There are two endings, but you can choose either at the final scene. Nothing you do up till that point matters.

Except Daud, he WAS influential and had the power to change the fate of the Empire and so he did.

[Zekiran]

And when we play Daud, there's a chaos factor. She took her power from him, she's like... 6 degrees from the Outsider lol.

She wasn't the one accepting the contract on Jessamine's life, Daud was.

[MJ711]

So the only way to change the ending is by killing or not killing the outsider ?
Chaos does not matter ?

[snake_angel_18]

There is no Chaos system, so there is no chaos level. The only thing that changes the ending is either to kill or not kill the Outsider.
