A few more details were revealed for Bethesda’s next dark action-tale ‘Dishonored’, courtesy of Bethesda’s weekly question and answer segment.
Both creative directors for Dishonored answered a few questions about the game, Rapheal Colantonio and Harvey Smith from Arkane Studios. The duo picked a few select questions to answer about the title that reveal some tidbits about the upcoming title.
The first question was regarding the ‘mana’ bar that players will use in the game. Although some of your mana-bar “regens” it will not be enough for you to use all your powers. It will increase slightly to keep some of your more useful powers activated though, like “Blink” and “Dark Vision”. For your more powerful abilities like “Possession” or “Bend Time” you will have to use ‘Piero’s Spiritual Remedy’ or as the duo from Arkane Studios calls them ‘mana potions’.
Arkane Studios also went into detail about the amount of powers that you will have at your disposal. The creative directors state that there will be “six major active powers and four enhancements (passive powers), in addition to weapons and gadgets; plus there are 40 bone charms in the game that grant small supernatural perks”. Bethesda goes on to say that you can not have all of these powers at once….in “one playthrough”.
If you are interested in how long Dishonored will be, the team says it will take about 12 or 14 hours, but if you like to listen-in on dialogue and spy on conversations it can be up to 2x that amount.
