Dishonored - Interview @ GON

Aussie site Games On Net has interviewed Julien Roby from Arkane about Dishonored:

GON: Do you see Dishonored as more of a stealth title, or do you see it as a sandbox-ey, supernatural explore-em-up?

Julien: I see it as more of a sandbox game than a stealth game. You can have different options depending on what you want to do. So you can play fully stealth, or you can go fully action, or anywhere in between. It’s more up to the player to define the experience they want to have.

GON: So do you find in your tests that a lot of people opt for the full shooting, full action build? Just from playing today it seems like that’d be much harder than going all out for stealth.

Julien: Usually what we see in playtests is that people start their playthrough using stealth. They want to see what’s around them and understand the world so they sneak around as much as possible. But then they get detected, so they do a bit of combat, and revert back to stealth for the next area. So it’s a mix of both.
