ah yes, the "non-lethal" ending, the tension and realization that the Boyle sisters ain't so close as family, the mansion overlooking dilapidated/plague ridden areas of Dunwall...of course, classic Looking Glass masterclass level design and thematics. this is the precursor to Dishonored 2's Clockwork Mansion/Stilton's Manor and I can't wait for you to cover those as well once you have time
I didn't kill her only once, when I tried to get Clean Hands award. It feels more merciful to kill her than to let her be taken by her stalker. It's my favourite mission in the whole game and one of my hobbys is to find new ways to dispose Lady Boyle without alarming anyone ;)
It's like the most merciful thing you can do to any character you need to assassinate in the game (Campbell is sent to flooded district where he'll slowly and painfully die weeping; Pendletons lose their tongues and go to their own mines where they'll die of extreme conditions and overworking; Burrows is sent to coldridge where he'll be interrogated (and probably tortured), and will spend his last days in absolute horror, because death is what he fears the most)
@@Илья-р5к6зI was recently talking with friends of mine about euthanasia, and it was rather unclear if it is the moral option. Mainly because it robs the person of their transformation. For an example, if you kill Boyle here, her character couldn't change for the better. I don't want to say that leaving her with someone who is obsessing over her is most moral decision, just that it's unclear if assassination really is in the best interest of that person.
I checked your channel out after this video to be pleasantly surprised by the high quality videos from a relatively small channel. Keep killing it, man!
i really want you to make more videos like this, but i find this one somewhat incomplete. I would enjoy it more if you included sections talking about second floor, as it gives a lot more emersion seeing living rooms and exploring them and for me was a great experience being able just to explore it even if it doesnt progress the mission further, safe room in the vine cellar, different ways to get into the mansion, and as far sa i remember all sisters have different personalities and dialogues when it comes to talking them into going downstairs. But it is already a nice video, exited to see new videos, brother!!!
Thank you for your feedback and kind words! I tried to apply the feedback from the Liberty Island Analysis and make it more introspective and analytical as opposed to a step by step walkthrough. I’m still trying to strike that balance
@@thesummerofmark yeah brother, i feel like it should be more about your feelings, and if you said everything you felt and saw you ve done a great job, but somehow it feels like if you included more great stuff from this level it would be even more fun to watch))
Another great level analysis. I really enjoyed this one mainly because I'd completely forgotten about the non-lethal conclusion. That's dark as fuck...
Actually, you can rush Jindosh in less than 2 or 3 minutes, the wall of light's fatal flaw is time stop (fully upgraded) 😂 To me the Stilton manor is clearly THE level for D2.
After pendleton says she’s a viper i thought to myself “Should Corvo go rescue the simp” Even devs regret this decision and simp guy just “disappeared” after a few years let Waverly inherit a fortune Why did she got off so easy?
I would also like to note that, don’t quote me, someone had told me there’s a dishonored book stating that Boyle does make it out alive from the stalker
There was an easter egg in this mission, if you keep roaming aimlessly in this mission, stalking or acting suspiciously ( high chaos) then a guard will approach you and will ask you to follow him, and then the guards will try to kill you for no reason.
I think guestbook actually matters in mission. I remember once I did sign Corvo to guestbook straight after I come inside. I was looking for Lady Boyle, gathering informations and suddently guards were alerted. They didnt know I'm Corvo yet but clearly they were looking for him. I didnt kill anyone, nobody noticed me so only logical explanation is someone has seen Corvo's name in guestbook
It were a masterpiece if it wasn't for the deus ex machina NPC (Lord Brisby) spawning out of nowhere after a couple minutes, spoiling the target and thus a lof of the fun of it. I mean, they even put all the work in to randomize the target each time you start a new game... bummer. How that came to be? Google for Lady Boyle Party + playtesters. Shocking, just shocking. Still love Dishonored, mind. If they had actually pulled this through with some actual sleuthing and thinking involved, it would be right up there with Clockwork Mansion and A Crack In The Slab from Dishonored 2 -- masterpieces truly.
Great video, while Boyle's non lethal option is certainly cruel and disgusting it's likely a taste of her own medicine based off what the heart says about their conduct with the servants..
Great video essay! I revisit this game annually to try out new "builds" of powers, and one of my favorites was doing Rat Swarm on everybody at the party. Fuck the rich.
This game IS a masterpiece! I have played and replayed it so many times. I love the various levels, interactions, backgrounds, everything, etc! I have played Dishonored more than I played GTA 5! That's saying something! And, since you mentioned Deus EX - another Harvey Smith game - I have spent hundreds of hours in this particular universe as well. One of the greatest games of all time.
Yeah, for such a strong start to the vid talking about how much you adore this level, you spend an awful lot of time convincing me it's not great after all? It's weird, also, you're not wrong about how creepy and offputting the "non-lethal" solution is. It goes over-the-line. There's not much else in the series that even tiptoes.
I felt it would be disingenuous of me to talk about this mission without addressing the non-lethal solution. I still adore this level, but that doesn’t mean it’s not without its flaws
@@thesummerofmark I don't disagree, but I'd be inclined not to spend so much time on it compared to the strengths. Anyway, the video production quality is solid and I appreciate the effort

I will definitely cover those missions at some point!

Insane replayability for such a short mission (compared to others ofc)
@@thesummerofmark True. At first I didn't think I'd like it so much, but I sometimes only play DH to re-play this mission.
It's like the most merciful thing you can do to any character you need to assassinate in the game (Campbell is sent to flooded district where he'll slowly and painfully die weeping; Pendletons lose their tongues and go to their own mines where they'll die of extreme conditions and overworking; Burrows is sent to coldridge where he'll be interrogated (and probably tortured), and will spend his last days in absolute horror, because death is what he fears the most)
Unfortunately, the non-lethal elimination is the canon one :(

"blood boyle-ing" made me laugh so much i realised I'm aging
Lmao I could barely contain my laughter myself while recording haha
@@thesummerofmark honestly wholesome
Bruh Ive never thought the gentleman as a fucking stalker... That shit hits fucking different now holly shit
One of the best atmospheres of any video games... period. Dishonored is a masterpiece. God Bless man.
Sometimes I legit can’t believe someone actually made this game
"Blood Boyling?" I'm subscribing!!
Thank you for the support and welcome aboard!
Im not a game designer but I love game design and these videos are super nice to watch/podcast while at work. :)
I checked your channel out after this video to be pleasantly surprised by the high quality videos from a relatively small channel. Keep killing it, man!
i really wanted to get into these games but i never could i love the stealth in these games
Give them another shot. Once they click, they really click
@@thesummerofmark I'll try again I really hope it works out I'm a big fan of stealth

The boiiiiiii returnzzz with even more great content! Can’t wait to get watching mate 🙌
This is a really high quality video, u earned a subscriber bro and u deserve it. Keep up the good work
Thank you so much for the kind words and support! Welcome to the channel!
Another reviewer and analysis youtuber to add to my playlist, definitely gonna binge all your stuff
I love that if you kill all three sisters without knowing who the target is, the objective says you eliminated the target by process of elimination
Another great level analysis. I really enjoyed this one mainly because I'd completely forgotten about the non-lethal conclusion. That's dark as fuck...
Thanks dude! It really hits different in retrospect
A very cool mission back to back, cool video!
Thank you for watching and for your kind words
Great video I love this mission
Thank you!
Clockwork mansion HYYYYYYPE

Dishonored is an absolute masterpiece of gaming 🙌
My favorite level on Dishonored 1 ( and the first level on Knife of Dunwall's DLC)
The first level from The Knife of Dunwall is in its own league. Almost feels like a prototype for the gigantic Dishonored 2 levels
There was an easter egg in this mission, if you keep roaming aimlessly in this mission, stalking or acting suspiciously ( high chaos) then a guard will approach you and will ask you to follow him, and then the guards will try to kill you for no reason.

Hmmm I’m not saying you’re wrong, but aren’t guards programmed to become alerted if you’re dicking around for too long?
@@thesummerofmark oh it might be true, however I tried to believe in guestbook version, it would be such a nice detail
@@JohnyFranko it would definitely be classic Arkane if that were the case hahaha

Love this mission. Love this game.
Holy shit this channel is underrated as fuck

Very cool
Thank you!!!
Oh shiiiiiiiit, Badthesda?!
You know it
IMHO, A Crack in the Slab is the peak of the series.
Gotta get around to covering that mission in its own video
Are you considering making a video on Deathloop’s Alexis party mission? It is very similar to this.
Sadly I haven’t played Deathloop yet. I am open to making that video in the future tho
dishonored my favorite game of all time ♥️
are you Romanian?

i mean whether or not this issue ruins this level for u i think it is def the biggest problem with it and deserves a decent amoutn of attention.
Its like hitman
Lol boil.
Hehe
This game doesn't have any "bad" levels, but this is the second weakest in the game.
Hi
