As far as I remember, having a lack of non-lethal options was supposed to represent the players conscious choice to remain ‘good’. Corvo (the player) could very easily take all the power they are bestowed and use it to fuel their hatred towards the corrupt, killing indiscriminately. Non-lethal being harder to achieve is symbolic, because Corvo is fighting against his anger to prove that he is better than those who killed to get to the top. (As I said this is as far as I remember the Devs saying)

It’s supposed to echo Daud, who was given the exact same level of power as Corvo, and who used it to gain revenge through the murder of an empress. Corvo saw the devastation caused after Jessamine’s death, an empire being led to ruin by greedy power hungry men. And in the non-lethal path, he decides to gain revenge in a different way.

And it is worth mentioning that the ‘non-lethal’ options as you say are not good endings for any of the characters. They all pay for their crimes with their lives, but that decision is made by the universe and not by the players hand directly. But again, to gain these endings, it comes down to the players choice. The game is significantly easier if you play in high chaos because all you need to do is stab, shoot, or grenade your way to the main target, there is really no need for stealth. Where as with low chaos, often you need to plan your journey through the levels, and really get to know the terrain, listening for clues while spying on the people who still inhabit the city.

Being ‘good’ and holding fast to non-lethal ‘morals’ is something you have to keep choosing. It gives the game weight, and a sense of reality to it.

Now neither ending, technically, has any merit over the other, it all comes down to personal taste. And your dislike of low-chaos is perfectly valid. But Low-Chaos being harder to achieve or play does have reasoning behind it, and is not just ‘slapped on’. And rarely does killing lead to good things irl, so an immersive sim playing by rules of morality makes a lot of sense. :D

I love Dishonored, but I always hated the chaos system. 

You have a game that promotes freedom and all kinds of playstyles and yet they slapped on a morality system that basically forces you to play it one way if you want to get the good ending.

Whats worse is the game gives you a bunch of cool shit to use to kill and cause chaos, but barely gives you any tools for nonlethal takedowns. Its like the game wants you to go nuts and kill, but also doesn’t. 

#as I said you are perfectly valid in disliking any aspect of this game #I just wanted to share my knowledge of it #along with my personal opinion #:) #dishonored #if I misunderstood your post or your tone then I’m sorry! #I’m just exited to talk about my favourite game series

favorite bits of the cast interviews in the LOTR special features:

Dominic Monaghan, Billy Boyd, Elijah Wood and Viggo Mortensen all taking the piss out of Orlando Bloom for going on about a cracked rib too much, while Orlando Bloom desperately tries to wriggle out of talking about it (special mention to Elijah Wood’s “oh it hurts, babes, and I can’t ride the horse, babes” and Viggo Mortensen’s “they can be very fragile, elves, especially the…Mirkwood strain…”)

Ian McKellen commenting that “they never did find any suitable underwear for Gandalf…”

Dominic Monaghan going on and on about how Viggo Mortensen apparently had a crush on one of the Rohirrim extras (who like a lot of the Rohirrim extras was a woman in a fake beard) while Vigoo Mortensen just mutters “one could perhaps say something about Mr. Monaghan’s…proclivities…”

Dominic Monaghan’s imitation of John Rhys-Davies ordering food at a restaurant for the whole cast. “You have partridge? BRING THE PARTRIDGE!”

John Rhys-Davies talking about an incident with the Lothlorian boats and saying “if an elf and a dwarf are in a boat…and…the boat goes under…let us say that the blame was not placed on the elf” while Orlando Bloom splutters “he’s a big guy, man!” 

Elijah Wood talking about how the hobbit actors shared a trailer with Ian McKellen and sometimes they would hear inarticulate bellows of protest from his side when they played loud music in the mornings

Viggo Mortensen talking about how, while filming with those same boats, Kirin Shaw (Elijah Wood’s scale double) started telling him “if the boat tips over…save yourself…I can’t swim.” 

Elijah Wood describing how Sean Astin would try to direct the helicopters to land while they were on location, while the other three hobbits were screwing around and throwing pinecones at each other

Christopher Lee recounting how he had so much trouble going up some steps in Orthanc with his long robe that he stopped in the middle of the scene and said, “I cannot get up these goddamn steps, Peter.” 

Viggo Mortensen mentioning that he left a weekend rehearsal and went walking down the street still swinging his sword around, and promptly got the cops called on him
