Harvey Smith's Dishonored Protips

Dishonored is out in the US already, but here in Australia we have to wait until tomorrow. Fortunately, we can use this time to get ready for the game - and even moreso now Harvey Smith has updated the Bethesda Blog with some of his protips for getting the most out of the game like:

You can turn off almost every part of the HUD UI, including goal markers. If you’re a minimalist, experiment with that.
Look up! Go vertical when you can, along ledges, rooftops, pipes, etc. You can often sneak past an encounter that way or find an alternate entry or path.
Don’t forget to lean! If your body is behind something like a wall, you can lean out to peak ahead. We abstract that so that your body stays hidden.

Leaning! Somewhere out there a hardcore FPS fan is crying tears of joy at the return of leaning. While some idiots have no doubt already claimed Dishonored is watered down console kiddie trash, he will vehemently defend it for leaning alone. Incidentally, Joaby tells me playing about with UI is a definite must, particularly turning off goal markers - Dunwall is a big world full of life and you'd only do yourself a disservice if you don't do some exploring.

If you're looking for something a little more visually stimulating than Dishonored gifs and tips however, you can now check out the launch trailer embedded below or in our videos library - going full screen for HD of course!
