Well it also had some bits of art
But yes I am the old who pays for guides in occasion
I like having a physical reference handy
Yes I know the internet exists

yeah that kind of blockbuster, gigantic RPG is pretty much the only thing I buy them for anymore
As I said, you got a few of those in Dishonored 1. Also a PC gamer playthrough made every kill look like a horrible mistake accident.

It was super neat
What an amazing game.

Of course, Corvo's useful powers include Blink and Time Stop, which can be hilariously OP. But Domino, Mesmerize and Far Reach can have some pretty absurd combinations, too.
I'd say to either pick whichever powerset you like the sound of more, or whoever you think the story would be better with.
I've only done high chaos with Corvo so far, but (ending spoiler):
No rune upgrades at all, no powers at all. You can only equip bonecharms.
Oh thats rough
I just finally bought the jump upgrade in my normal playthrough and I'm so mad I didn't get it sooner
I does mean some of the corrupted ones that nerf your mana become a lot more viable, though.
I mostly haven't bothered because lots of the effects trigger off of murders or help make murders easier and what I really want are things that make me harder to see and my powers cost less and my mana regen more and there aren't enough that I've felt starved for space
The upgrade that lets you use an effect 4 times across your charms sounds interesting if it stacks like I think it should though
I mostly use it for the movement ones (to the point that I move faster while sneaking and carrying a body than I do when sprinting), but Strong Arms would be a perfect one to quadruple if it weren't bugged to make choking take longer.
You can also just sacrifice the charms you know you won't use, which can get you a ton of whalebone to use. When I had my bonecharms all the way I wanted them, I still had enough whalebone left to make a ton of runes, which totally made the upgrade worth it.
If you're building for combat, a lot more of the bonecharms become viable, and you might want to mix them together to make space.
Oh shit, no wonder it felt like it wasn't working! I crafted a 4x Strong Arms and was like "Gee, this feels longer than it did before."
I liked it because
i liked it because I managed to figure it out myself, although not on my first route where I seemed to trap myself after I shifted it once and then needed to do it again.
I have yet to go through it as the dude is taunting me so I've got no idea what that's even like

I thought you only needed one upgrade, so it's got 2 charges

With Corvo's automatic time stop blink upgrade I can drop ko a solider in a crowd of like four or five, then immediately start aiming my next blink and while I do so have all the time I need to decide where to go to get back up to drop ko the next guy. I am Corvo Attano: terrifying teleporting punch monster.
Okay. Three step process.
1) Get the high ground
2) Drop assassination.
3) Repeat
One thing I learned in Dishonored 2 is that nobody is prepared for someone dropping from the sky and stabbing them in the neck. Not even robots.

"What should we do with this master assassin, infamous for taking out heavily guarded opposition throughout Dunwall during the rat plague and likely to blame for the Crown Murders?"
"Eh, throw him in an old office. Those windows are shut pretty tight."

Alternatively, you can shoot their back panel off to reveal their main weak point which blows them up in one shot (you're not going to get that angle in a straight fight, but if you're sniping from hiding places, maybe).
Yes, it might take a few shots to take them down, but if you're playing non lethal, what else are you using that ammo for?
I've never actually tested it, but I assume spring razors would work on them too? Or grenades, if you're not worried about the noise.
Sticky grenades work, but it takes a couple of 'em. Had to use them in a pinch. Not the ideal tools, but useful all the same.

My advice is to have a hard save (not a quick save) at the beginning of the conservatory level because ho boy that level has some bugs
honestly, hard saving at the beginning of levels is kinda important since they don't have a level select function yet

A no-spotted run will involve a lot of quick-saving/loading, though. Less if you know the level, but even then...
If you're just doing it for achivements, I think you'd actually save time overall by just trying to do one at a time. Don't worry about being spotted if you're going for no kill, etc.
The story is still total garbage that doesn't deserve this setting or gameplay, and the ending is some real shit, but I'm glad I played it. By the end I was really just giving no fucks and stealthing full force ahead using domino and shadow walk knockouts
