I would've thought after the whole skyrim thing, developers would start cutting down on repetitious dialog. I must've heard the same cigar or could the city get any worse lines a hundred times already. Also 'shut up!' Lol

On a side note, I've shot an enemy in the leg with a crossbow and had their head fly off. No idea why haha

Bethesda didn't make Dishonored only published it.

More lines means they have to pay the voice actors more. The guards already gossip and there is already scripted conversations between them. Small talk can only go so far.

Its a budget/time thing. Games like this an skyrim have had the arrow in the knee problem for ages. Not a big thing but would be cool to see a game that somehow managed to have almost no repetetive standard diaogue

Shut up! lol

I've noticed they kind of tried to do that here, but it fell flat.

Guard A will say one of the sentences in column X, and guard B will reply with a sentence from column Y. (X and Y have multiple, separate options for sentences.) This sometimes resulted in odd dialogue, and often in stilted dialogue. I'd have liked to see hear them push this idea farther, but with financial constraints, I understand why they didn't.

Besides who DOESN'T like the old 'arrow in the knee' joke. Its a modern classic!

I would rather have them limit the number of times you hear something the entire game. For example, after three times of an arrow in the knee that line is never repeated again.

There sure is lots of guards getting their own squads after what happened last night.

Never doubt it.

Could this forum get any worse?...... Shut up!

Dunwall has new squads coming out the wazoo.

on a side note anyone notice that your maid is called "Lydia"?

Yeah, nice Skyrim easter egg
