Dishonored provides a lot of content throughout the city of Dunwall for Corvo Attano to sneak around. Once the main story is complete, there's a chance to explore the map and see what was missed. This guide will show players the most notable things to do after beating the game.
Dishonored was originally released in 2012 by Bethesda Softworks and developed by Arkane Studios. It's a stealthy first-person action-adventure game that takes place within a fictional city called 'Dunwall' that's evidently ridden by a mysterious plague. Players take control of a guard named Corvo Attano who is in charge of protecting the Empress of the Isles. Being framed for her murder, Corvo must seek revenge and find the people who ruined his reputation and livelihood. With no other choice but to become an assassin, Corvo must lurk in the shadows of Dunwall while exploring the various nook and crannies of the city while eliminating his targets and clearing his name. Dishonored gives players a variety of ways to complete missions, providing ample opportunities for stealthy gameplay and combat. If players want to play Corvo in a more noble way, it's even possible to take out targets in a non-lethally.
The aesthetics of Dunwall was inspired by 19th century London with a hint of the steampunk genre interwoven into the overall design. Players can find missions and have conversations with various NPCs in a hub called "The Hound Pit". There are optional ways to complete objectives, despite the linear narrative that Dishonor comes with. Light RPG mechanics also come with this game that comes in the guise of special powers that can be upgraded, as well as moral choices that players will need to make. The way the player takes control of Corvo will gradually change the world as the story progresses. Some NPCs will betray Corvo or aide him on his quest, depending on which tactics players use to complete the missions. Dunwall is a fairly robust city that has a myriad of things to do. Even after the initial playthrough, chances are that players missed some opportunities of digging into some side-quests and other activities. Therefore, there are quite a few reasons to go back and have another go into Dishonored after players completed the main story.
