Now that we're finally getting to things I like, Dishonored is one of my favourite IPs on the market - yes, even the last one. I think the series only ever struggled in terms of narrative, and specifically story. Either way, they're some of the highest value for some of the lowest prices, so stop buying literally everything Nintendo shoves down your throat and try something different.
I haven't gone much into stealth games, or first-person immersive sims, or whatever this is, but I'm looking forward to expanding reach on that front with Thief and Metroid Prime, and more in the future.

Lmao how can the series have a rise and fall that quick its literally only been two games and they've both been critically acclaimed
I really hate what they did with the Outsider I liked when he was a mysterious force acting outside of our understanding
Is it suprising that you cant even remember any villains from the original if you just rushed trough and mindlessly killed everyone? Iam pretty sure this isnt the way Dishonored was meant to be played.
"The stealth in these games isn't good." go watch stealthgamer on youtube and you'll feel how much of a lie this statement is
I didn't think one person can be so confidently wrong.
"We encourage stealth and a minimal-kill playthrough, also here's a shit ton of ammo and weapons for you."
Interesting, I found going for a stealth play through as my first run as extremely fun. Then again, I bought it under the context of it being a stealth fame and I am a long time fan of games like Hitman. Honestly, the games got this awesome horror factor to them when I was doing my stealth runs. Though the chaos ones are fun too.
There's so much you get wrong in this video because you make definitive statements based off CHOICES that YOU made in previous games where the developers decided the stealth endings to be canon for thier STEALTH GAMES. You never HAD to kill Billie Lurk, Deliah or The Outsider. Stealthing through the bank without hurting anyone is easy if you explored the world, you can make a gas that puts everyone to sleep in the bank. It's really easy to tell how bias you are toward this series by highly favoring murdering everyone, lol. The whole series, in my opinion, is about how easily corruptible people are when given power. Daud is the perfect example of this. Daud didn't care about the consequences of his actions up until killing The Empress, were he realizes he brought so much death in the world because self-interest, and that's why he seeks redemption in the DLC, and eventually goes to hunting the Outsider, because he realizes the Outsider has the chance to grant people like Daud power. And then there's Corvo. In the first game, The Outsider constantly expects you just to murder everyone, but if you continually spare them, his response is always surprise. The Outsider expects people to take the easy way out with the power he grants. And if you read the notes, letters, etc in Dishonored 2, you can learn the fates of some of the people that Corvo spared. As this is the first video I've seen from you, I'm not that impressed.
Dishonoreds biggest issue for me personally, which goes with the video. They never made the stealth as fun as the combat. There are so many combat heavy abilities and weapons that it's just incredibly fun to be evil and being good feels like playing with only a third of the moveset
"We're still good for cigar and whiskey tonight?"
Kbash: complains about stealth in 2
Here are two of the reasons why these games are great:
From what I remember hearing, Death of the Outsider was meant to end the Corvo Attono/Emily Kaldwin era and that if they were to make another game in the franchise then it would take place in an entirely different era with a new cast.
"The stealth in these games isn't good." Describes his stealth attempts.
Tbh I enjoy a stealth playthrough WAY more than a combat playthrough, it was more challenging in my opinion
Delilah wasn’t killed by daud in the canon. Nonlethal is canon for the most part with a few exceptions.
"Fail and reload is exclusive to stealth"
I think criticizing the game for "forcing" narratives on you, that are a result of the actions you take because you ignore the narrative breaks your argument.
I always naturally play non-lethal and stealth whenever I am allowed to, so these games really scratched that itch for me. Ironically Death of the Outsider didn't disappoint me for the narrative aspects or the arsenal... but for the fact that there is no benefit to playing Low Chaos. What
It's crazy how much I disagree with your story criticisms. The first games story was GREAT especially when you read the background notes and texts you could find in the world.
