Dishonored is not RPG, but for what it is, and it's not Thief as some suggest, it's a brilliant game.
Can't praise it more and gave it 10/10 in a short post inside "finished game" thread.
The cardinal difference between Thief and Dishonored is that in Thief you're - a thief. In Dishonored, you're an assassin!
Means what?
As a roleplayer, of course you can go play thief in Dishonored, dunno yet can you play an assassin in new Thief though. And that's just one reason why I loved Dishonored, not the only though. It is a game published by Bethesda but unlike other games they sale, it is not unpolished bug-o-rama. I've explored probably every explorable pixel inside, yet I never got bored or annoyed. To add on top of it, it contains a c&c system where your actions result in getting different "challenges" in next areas (as example if you destroy illegal cure making machine, the next chapter will contain more sick ppl).
Before I go too long with this… I don't expect this Thief game to be Dishonored. Nor I want it to.
I want to play a thief who's task is not assassination but getting rich by being undetected. Of course, I want a story included, not just puzzles and level design.
As soon as it gets unlocked in my region I'll start playing it and will post impressions.
