Are there different upgrades/progression if you refuse powers?

I went to Gamestop's website this morning and selected "Pick Up at Store". Got the email confirmation and I just picked it up as if it was a pre-order.
Fantastic. Thanks for the confirmation.

You can only upgrade your gear (Crossbow, bolts, pistol, etc...) with no powers mode.
And you have to improvise with ways of reaching the objective without the powers.

Anyone have the collectors edition? If so, how did the mask turn out?
That's cool that the power works for non-lethal stuff.I'm so glad that I can do aerial takedowns now non-lethally, cause they're so satisfying!
Batman Arkham Asylum syndrome baby. Anything's possible in the realm of broken bones and concussions.
Sweet.
No worries bud.
Yeah, I think they're just selling the deluxe edition or whatever for a while. First run stuff I suppose. I didn't ask to be upgraded to it or anything.

Just got my Best Buy limited edition in the mail and I learned that I'll be home alone all weekend. This couldn't have worked out better!
If you're already at brigmore witches then finish it tbh.
The first game's DLC is absolutely excellent, so if you like the general Dishonored formula, there is absolutely no reason to skip it. If you're on PC, Dishonored 2 has some slight tech issues also - it's playable but it could be much more pleasant with a patch or two - so really no need to rush into it at this stage.
Play BW, maybe they'll have a patch out by the time you play 2.

Was it? I can't remember exactly. But ya this one. Assuredly not lol. I like Dishonored 2's looks more but Dishonored 1 presented the world better.
I thought Penguin did a good job

My collector's edition just arrived. Mask is really nice and it's going to look good as a companion to the Death mask I got with Darksiders 2. Ring is pretty high quality too, and I like the double-sided poster. Worth the extra $10 ( got $20 off it thanks to Amazon.).
Have to go back to work now, but I'm super excited to dive into this when I'm off later!

Which HUD options turns off the mission clues notification?

Awesome, I was hoping it would be good. But preparing for the worse because it didn't cost much.

I preordered from Amazon, did anyone get the Dishonored Definitive Edition code yet? I was assuming they'd email it because that's usually how it goes, but I haven't received that yet. Is the code packed in with 2, then? I was hoping they'd email it so that I could start a replay of 1 while I wait for my package with 2 to arrive, but at this point I guess that's not how it's going to work.
Edit: Nevermind, I just checked the store page and it says the code is packed in with the game. Oh well, no big deal.

I think it's worth it as trinkets. Not a huge fan of the stand that comes with the mask but it serves its function. Also I like the steelbook case for its simplicity.
Yeah - just confirming it comes with the game, it's tucked in the steelbook with the other DLC codes.

CE from amazon is out for delivery...in a city an hour and a half away....
If you're talking about the pop-ups in the upper right corner, I believe it's "Objective Notifications."
If you mean the smaller text that appears below the crosshair, that tells you things like "there is a bone charm nearby," that's "Information Message."

YMMV but my local Best Buy let me buy it this morning without a preorder. Got all the Best Buy pre order bonuses as well.

Just started the first real mission. Damn, there is so much cool shit to explore. I'm really going to take my time with this one, just like the first game.
I'm going to have so many playthroughs...
1st Emily Low Chaos. Only Kill key targets
2nd Corvo Low Chaos. Killing enemies that the dark heart tell me are bad and key targets.
3rd High Chaos.
Final will be a ghost no powers playthrough.
Yep....It's going to be awhile.
I agree. Billy Lush was hired to VO the first reveal trailer then never got a callback. The Penguin from Gotham just isn't cutting it. It's not bad. Just not as good.

Well...I thought I would just skip the first one and jump into this. Not happening. The first game is truly great. It's finally beginning to click and is quite excellent.

Question for those playing the game:
Are the interiors of buildings separated from the outside with a loading screen like in the first game?
Are the interiors of buildings separated from the outside with a loading screen like in the first game?
That really was not the case for the majority of buildings in Dishonored 1, unless they were very large buildings that were, in essence, new levels. There are similar divisions here between areas, but from what I've seen the actual locales seem to be bigger and more detailed than in the first game.
The very first area begins in a moderately sized building interior, then you go through a door with an explicit option to "go to the next area," which is itself a large street and dock area without any more subdivisions.

It seems to be kinda the same thing here, just scaled up a little bit. If I remember correctly from the first game, levels like Lady Boyle's Party were broken up by loading screens, but minimally. So the streets around the house were one "level" and you could freely enter a lot of apartments and smaller structures there, then the actual mansion was a second "level" which you loaded into by interacting with any one of several entrances.
I think so yes. It's a code in the box. At least for however long this deluxe version or whatever it's called is being sold.

Going from xbox one to pro version I could really tell just how blurry the xbox version is.

Played for a couple of hours and it feels very much like the first one. Took a little while to get used to the mechanics again but it seems solid so far. Haven't experienced any performance issues yet (ps4 pro), but its early still. The only real gripe I have with the game so far is the voice acting. For some reason it sounds really off putting for me.
Are you sure you weren't thinking of the Thief reboot? That had load screens any time you went out a window into the street.

One thing I can say for sure while I played this, non-lethal drop attacks are pretty badass.
Can't wait to use them with Domino

I haven't played the Thief reboot, so no. I think I'm just forgetting the smaller buildings in Dishonored and am only remembering the larger ones that had loading screens.
Not a big deal anyway. This game looks so great. Picking it my copy in a few hours.

Oh man, I wasn't even aware there was a limited edition available for the same price ! I pretty much passed up a free copy of Dishonored
If you buy it in stores, it'll likely be the version with the DE in it.

This is useful, but also useful: you couldn't tell it was blurry beforehand.
I'm playing Xbox, and performance is mostly v good, there's little to no tearing, and yes, it's a bit blurry in the distance, but nothing horrifying at all.
