blanketspace replied to your link You can play Dishonored 2 without using any powers...
i did my first playthrough of dishonored without powers, flesh and steel isn’t particularly hard but you gotta be a touch creative with how you get around. i’m happy they are bringing it back
I did a full ghost, non-lethal playthrough, so I had to do a lot of creative stuff, but I kinda used Time Bend and Dark Vision a LOT, but especially Blink. I could do without Dark Vision probably, but I also just enjoy the interactions with The Outsider and I don’t know if he shows up if you don’t take his powers.
Plus Emily will have some sweet non-lethal skills like Mesmerise.
Either way, I LOVE that they give you the option. Like, I will have more tools to use for my no-kill stealth game-style, while people who want a high chaos bloodshed will also get their fill. And now blood and steel won’t be just an achievement.
Bethesda/Arkane listens to the gamers for sure :D
