Dishonored

What is Dishonored?

Dishonored is a first-person game that emphasizes stealth action and the use of gadgets and the environment to eliminate opposing forces. The game world consists of self-contained, mission-focused sandboxes designed for multiple avenues of exploration in terms of in-game movement and powers. Between missions, the player visits a central hub, the Hound Pits pub, where they can meet with allies, receive mission briefings, alternate objectives, and convert recovered loot into new equipment and upgrades. The game features diverse in-game areas, including loading docks, royal estates, poverty-stricken streets, and a bathhouse. Dishonored offers the ability to save anywhere, as well as a checkpoint save system, though both are disabled during combat. The game provides four difficulty levels that affect the effectiveness of health and mana potions, enemy awareness, damage delivered, and responsiveness, with the easy difficulty also enabling health regeneration Set in the fictional, plague-ridden industrial city of Dunwall, Dishonored follows Corvo Attano, the Empress's legendary bodyguard, who is framed for her murder and forced to become an assassin to seek revenge on those who conspired against him. Corvo is aided in his quest by the Loyalists, a resistance group fighting to reclaim the Empire, and The Outsider, a powerful being who imbues Corvo with magical abilities
