Blink dudes

Post » Sun Aug 12, 2012 11:41 am

Hi, I have a pair of questions about ''BLINK'' spell. Here I go:

1) Does Blink make noise when you use it?

2)It's a precise kind of teleport or imprecise?

3)You can use Blink during Time Bend?

4)How much distance you can teleport?

5)When you obtain this power?

Thanks;)

I don't think it does noise since it's there to reinforce the stealth of the game.

It's completely precise showing you where you will teleport.

You can use anything during Time Bend be it equipment or power.

The distance you can teleport is always shown as your cursor on the spell itself when you use it.

You obtain it right after you escape the prison in the beginning of the game.

From what they've leaked they said that it increases the range more which I don't view as an important upgrade in most scenarios, however I will definitely get it.

1. No. This was actually a source of debate. Is Blink too powerful since it doesn't make a sound when you use it. If it did, it would defeat its stealth uses. How loud would you make it. It's better that there is no sound.

2. I'd say precise. You'll never lose control of it. You can't accidentally transport inside of a wall and die. You move the cursor to a certain spot, and if it is clean you can transport there. Say you were outside and you wanted to transport inside. You couldn't do it unless there was a window open or something. Even then, I think it would just deposit you right near the window opening. I would watch some playthroughs of the Golden Cat. There's a particular one where there's footage of the Sokolov mission too I believe. You can recognize this by the image of Corvo transporting toward a broken wall. He then blinks again to a metal floor grate and uses his spyglass to look at two guards. This may be an example of upgraded Blink as well, but I'm not sure.

3. I believe you can, yes. That would actually be a very effective escape strategy. Freeze Time and Blink away if you need to.

4 & 6. When you upgrade Blink, you can transport even farther than your regular Blink. I don't know the exact measurements, but most of the videos on display use a Blink that is not upgraded. Is there a video that does demonstrate upgraded blink, Strife?

5. There's an introductory level before you gain Blink, which is given to you in a dream by the Outsider not too long after the intro. I'm not saying more to respect anyone that doesn't want to know too much, but if I had to guess hour wise when you get it---I'd say 1 and 1/2 hours into the game.

I think there is a video of the upgraded Blink on the Sokolov level, yeah. It was the GameSpot video from E3 I believe. I am not quite sure it just looked like it had a lot more range than the ones displayed in most videos.

The normal one looks very useful already. Upgraded will be beastly.
