@demonsub I’m not a fan of novels based on games because when I’m done with a game I’m literally ‘done’.
Didn’t play ‘knife of dunwall’ (or any of the DLC) for the same reason.
I know I did the first one in both ‘high chaos’ and ‘low chaos’ versions, but because I understood what the game wanted me to do (= avoid killing to get the ‘good’ result) I didn’t go all murder hobo in the other two (maybe a few kills and reloads, but always trying to stay as clean as possible).

Besides … finding the alternate options was so much more rewarding than straight up murder.
Never mind that those alternate fates were far worse too … (like what we did to the creator of those robots in Dishonored 2 😀 )

It’s the one thing that annoyed me in the Assassins’ Creed series … for a ‘sneaky assassin’ the final kills were almost always cinematic moments out of your control and less like creative attempts at solving a puzzle, which is what Dishonored and Hitman managed to do.
