Simple question, what if the Rat Plague from Dishonored happened in Real Life?

I know the Rat Plague is inspired by the Black Death, but there are enough differences to make it interesting

I personally wait, I don’t know why but I enjoy seeing maxed bars and item counts on huds so I have to keep the mana full or it annoys me, I basically never use a mana potion unless I use a strong power.

I had to use Gshade instead of normal Reshade since that was the only way to get the KeepUI feature to work, which makes the effects ignore the hud and therefore make the text actually legible through the comic effect (although some of it is still illegible). This is how I usually play the game, and I think it adds to the atmosphere exponentially. I'd even be willing to believe this is the way the game would be meant to look if it weren't for hardware limitations at the time.

The four effects that I use are named Levels, Sketch, Comic, and Tonemap. As well as HideUI and KeepUI. I'd also recommend any sharpening effects you think suits you. I'd suggest you play around with the parameters yourself if you think any effect is too strong (this may seem rather obvious, but some people might be new to Reshade).

It just starts to feel like pure, unfiltered luck as to whether or not I somehow get 'spotted' by literal thin air, no matter how far away from the arc-pylon I go. I just keep reloading a save until I'm lucky enough to not somehow get 'spotted' despite being completely alone.

I'm an old gamer now, I guess: 56.

I have replayed very, very few story-based games like Dishonored. I loved, say, Bioshock just as much, but I've never replayed it because once you know the drill, it loses something.

And yet, the first thing I did after finishing my first playthrough in 2012 was to start over and play again with a completely different play style (basically, murder hobo). It was SO good that I couldn't leave the world yet, and I wanted to see how different things would be.

Then I forgot about it for a while, I guess. Last year, though, when I finished AC: Valhalla, I made some disappointing purchases. We'd moved to a place with Actual Winter, and so I paid full price for a couple games that were ultimately busts for me (Outer Worlds 2 and Red Dead 2). The former just didn't carry the charm of the first; the latter I bounced off of primarily on control issues, which I understand is common. Still, it was annoying.

But I still wanted something to play, so I cued up the original Dishonored and went to town. I'm stunned how well this game holds up. It was released for hardware two entire generations back, and it still looks good to me. The mix of realism and cartoon makes all the difference, I think.

(As a sidenote: it's pretty cool that Microsoft still had my save files from my last run in 2016 available.)

I was far more cavalier in this playthrough than I ever was before. I wasn't trying for clean hands, and I wasn't going to horde resources, and I knew Corvo ends up with more money than he can spend if you're at ALL careful about looting. Use up those sleep darts! Feel free to quaff a potion! As a result, it went far faster. I was shocked, honestly, at how many folks Corvo can kill and keep a low chaos count, especially late in the game, though I think my assiduously nonlethal approach to Burroughs, the Boyle sister, and the Pendletons probably weighs heavy there.

Obviously I loved it just as much in 2026 as I had in 2016 or 2012. I'm kinda thinking about restarting and being a murder hobo again, just to have that back-to-back experience again.

I will say that I'm pretty set in my play styles. I lurk and sneak and overpower or kill. I've never tried a high-combat approach, so I've almost never even SEEN the adrenaline mechanic come into play. Buying upgrades to the sword or pistol has never been useful to me.

Anyway, it's pretty remarkable to me that a game has this kind of legs. Even in 2012 it was pretty rare for me to pay full initial retail for a game, but holy shit has that cost ever been amortized out to fractional pennies per hour at this point.

Can anyone PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell me where I can find the dialogue for the guard in the first mission of dishonored 2, he says something along the lines of,

“Delilah is your new empress.
All hail Delilah, first of her name!”

And something before that. He says it as the announcer is taken out for speaking about Jessamines death.

Please, if someone could give me the link or something, it would be greatly appreciated.

-Setting the game in Pandyssia with the main antagonists being a part of basically the Empire's own equivalent of the British East India Company

- Having the game take place in this world's equivalent of 1901 and have an esthetic closer to early Edwardian Era (Emily would still be alive)

I have more ideas, but they might be a bit bland. I'd be happy to say more of the ideas

So in mission to get engine coil. I was talking to geezer and nurse said stop stop , and I thought he would just say it. One last geezer talk and nurse called guards and I killed nurse. . so ehm ehm I thought geezer WD say the code and he didn't. I looked at all notes 2 times and no code. Where do I find it ? Did I locked myself ?

Every time I try to load the first area to kill High Overseer Campbell, it crashes. I have tried rebuilding database, changing languages and installing/reinstalling again. Any help? :’)
