lol thats a good way to look at it! I personally just wanted to kill, kill, and kill lol Yea you can do that. I may do that to get some achievements I missed out on.
EDIT: Im not gonna spoil the ending so I will not say much but after someone beats it I want to know their take on this. There is an achievement for killing no one at all except for the key targets but there is also one for not killing anyone at all. I don't know how this is possible?......
Hey, the game's designed to be open in terms of how you want to play.
As for not killing anyone at all, even your key targets, I believe it is possible. You just have to search around for optional quests and/or listen to NPC convos in order to find out how to non-lethally take out your targets. Take High Overseer Campbell for instance. You can hear two guards talk about the Heretic Brand which is what you use to take out Campbell. Then just go to the Archives and look for the book on the Heretic Brand. It should be on the main table on the lower level. After that you'll learn how to take out Campbell without killing him.
well mostly I am excited play through and find the unique ways to play. Ways such as you mentioned. Though the end will be hard to figure out. If you don't mind spoilers then here ya go.......but if you do come back and read this after your done.
You see it ends with
Spoiler:
the main guy on top of a light house. He threatens to jump off. You can blink over and save Emily or if you do nothing he still jumps off. So he dies. Unless they don't count that as you killing him
I beat it once with almost no rune searching only enough to get level one on all powers....except blink which was level two. My second was for the clean hands achievement and the no alerting achievements. However, I did manage to alert someone 🙁..Idk where my alert was but I can just re-play it lol Anyways my point is my total time played is 44hours for 2 plays. I wont spoil anything but there is also different boss fights at the end depending on low or high chaos.
I. love. this. game.

I thought there weren't any boss fights in this game? Dammit.
Also, Blink is easily the most useful ability in the game. Keeping it at level 2 I can understand.
Ok there is a lot of buzz that while going for clean hands, shadow, and ghost you can not go to mission select to replay your mistake...but you can. You have to play from the mission you select to the end. After the end the achievements will unlock. Thats how I did it.
The end means the end of the game
I like this game. I think it's done very well and like how interesting the setting is. It's clearly one of the better games out there this year.
But something about it is not jiving with me. Maybe because the game doesn't flow well enough for me, or something. It's hard to explain but I just get this feeling that I'm not totally into it. It might be the loading screens and the tally after each mission. I don't know.
