In a gaming community fueled by creativity, players are spotlighting unique ways to experience the Dishonored series. While many have completed the games numerous times, they are finding fresh takes on gameplay. Some methods are sparking intense discussions among fans.

Strategies from the Community

A seasoned player shared their experiences, noting that after countless runs, they needed a break. They detailed three standout methods they've enjoyed across all three games on very hard difficulty:

  1. Ghost, High Chaos, Loot Whore

    This style emphasizes assassination while avoiding detection. Players feel like true assassins, relishing in collecting gold and hidden items.

  2. Everyone Dies, Front Door Only, No Powers

    This daunting approach tests playersโ€™ skills. Users navigate the game using only main entrances, leading to intense moments at locations like the Lighthouse and Clockwork Mansion.

  3. Passive Run

    A brutal challenge, this run excludes kills and detections while allowing only basic powers like Blink. While rewarding, many players find it extremely tough, pushing their limits.

The Community Speaks

Comments reveal varied sentiments about these challenges:

"Iโ€™m on run 15, playing in ironmode for the first time"

Adventures in difficulty adjustments are relatable among players.

Some players are opting for a True Ghost variant, where they engage only when necessary, mixing strategic avoidance with allowed powers. Others are challenging themselves with chaotic runs, focusing purely on speed and action.

Notable Reactions

  • "High chaos kills everyone ghost runs are dopamine."

  • "The Passive Run is a rite of passage, but not for me."

  • "Iโ€™d call it the 'Front Door Only Challenge'; thatโ€™s very good."

Interestingly, many users acknowledge a tension: balancing enjoyment versus challenge. While some revel in high chaos runs, others prefer stealthy gameplay.

An intense debate continues surrounding the most rewarding playstyles, further highlighting the game's versatility.
