orangerfulSNOW DAY which means GAME DAY! Plus, poor Tim is sick so I had to keep myself occupied and not bother him while he slept some more. If a miracle does not occur tonight, we're going to the doctor tomorrow when the roads should be clearer.
And Game Day = Dishonored! Game spoilers under the cut, obviously, if you care.
So today I got a taste of the different ways this game can go. The first time I tried to play through, while wandering the Distillery District, I saved an old guy from some thugs. He was nice to me and I was pretty sure he was going to supply me with some helpful items next time I met him.
Now I've restarted the game and when I played through that area again, I never made it to that part of town. It was an alternate mission and I decided not to go there this time, focusing on just getting through the main story. So when my second mission took me to the same part of town, I was like "oh yeah, I should talk to the old guy" and went to look for him. Alas, he had caught the rat plague and had become a "Weeper". He shot him with a sleep dart and found a note saying the ruffians kept him from getting his medicine.
SO NOW I HAVE GUILT ABOUT THAT!!!!! I WILL SAVE YOU NEXT TIME!
I'm also curious the maybe-crazy-maybe-not old lady tried to get me to poison the Bottle Street Gang but I decided not to, thinking that poisoning the providers of the rat plague "cure" would probably not be a good idea. Then the next mission I got was to work WITH them to find out how to infiltrate the place the young empress was being held prisoner. If I had put the poison in there, I'm guessing they would not have been so friendly.
I actually made it through that mission without killing anyone! I did get spotted, but I did the nonlethal solution to getting rid of the two baddies! The next mission, however, has been problematic. You have to turn off these big electric zapping things...and I have zapped poor Corvo more times than I can count. That is where I am stuck now.
