Question about killing.

[nutritional breakfast]

About to start this game and heard there is no chaos and i'm a non-lethal player, is it gonna affect the world and the ending if i go lethal or non-lethal or it doesn't matter?

There are some minor impacts such as more bloodflies if you go high chaos. As for the ending, you will need to make a choice at the end of the game and you get the same options regardless of how you played. The options themselves could maybe be seen as being more in line with a lethal or non-lethal approach, but you still get to make that choice yourself, rather than it being determined by the choices you made along the way. In short, lethal or not has a minimal impact on the game and no impact on the ending, which you get to decide on.

Killing at least 20% of the map's population each mission will set you on a path towards the bad ending.

If you do a standard non-lethal stealth run you should be fine.

There is no bad ending. There is one ending, which offers you the same choices, regardless of how many people you killed.

As i said i'm a non-lethal player but if i kill like 5-6 people in a mission it's not a big deal right?

[MadBone12]

Not at all. I have played this game many times, killing everyone in sight, killing no one, killing people here and there, and the ending choices are always the same. You will see changes like more guards, more bloodflies etc. if you kill lots of people, but a few here and there won't make a difference. Good luck!

You do realise that if you play high chaos you can get a bad ending where Corvo/Emily leaves the other frozen and begins a bloody reign of tyranny.

Firstly, you are on the wrong forums. The OP is asking about the third game, Death of the Outsider. You are talking about the second game, Dishonored 2. Secondly, even this is the wrong information about Dishonored 2. That is still an optional ending on high chaos, not the only one.

No, killing has no cutscene or really dialogue impact in this game, the only kill that has any impact toward the ending is the final one and even that only gives you a cutscene with a different intro part, then the rest like 3/4th of the cutscene is the same regardless.
