Dishonored is good but not great!

The game has very few instructional hints or suggestions to help aid better game play. Others have also pointed out, that you will NEVER earn enough runes to open or max out your dark powers! If you do read this prior to playing, here's a tip....pick 3-4 powers and max them out! For stealth, Drift and possession are good to focus on! Health of course helps any game play and beware, that if you are the type to hack and slash a very dark outcome at end, that you can't change mid-way or even at the end! If you want a more pleasant ending, focus on ALL nonlethal options and avoid all confrontations if at all possible. If you like gore, then hack away but you will be placed in a negative legacy for yourself and young Emily.
The least helpful power is the rats summon, as this again creats lethal outcomes! Also possession of humans is short and best done in seculded areas or for a quick pass through a barrier. Be sure to choke-out the subject immediately, upon leaving to avoid detection!
This could have been done more stylishly with a tutorial on how best to maximize stealth!
Also, the game can be clitchy at times and do auto-saves in a better fashion so as not to respawn in the middle of a battle, leaving you no choice but to have a gore filled outcome.
Best of game success to all and remember to focus on only 3-4 powers that will best aid your type of game, DO NOT try to activate all powers but only those that help your chosen path!
