DeCoR Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 (edited) Seems like putting limitations on yourself during the first playthrough would take a lot of fun out of the game? I'm wondering if anybody did it in three what sort of play time would I be looking at? The guide says 15-25 for two? Apologies just saw a couple of similar threads to this I missed.

wottagunn Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 A lot of people did it in three runs. I myself played through the game four times. I think you would be looking at 15-20 hours for three playthroughs, as a stealth run can take as little as 3 hours. I think I may need to edit the estimated hours in the guide. That part was written very early on in the guide writing process.... so thank you for pointing that out to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightsp33d1987 Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 I've only done one high chaos run then I've done my clean up on all trophies that I could use chapter select for now im on my low chaos run with only the associated trophies to it left.

Eldarion Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 I was planning on doing it in two runs, but apparently something happened to a Sokolov painting at some point so I'll have to do (almost) three playthroughs. My first was a high chaos, all the powers I wanted, "fun" run. Now on my second it's been a totally different experience with no powers, no detections, and no kills. At least it won't take long to collect the paintings while running through the missions. After learning the layouts and the guard positions you can really move through the game at quite a clip, taking perhaps 20 minutes (give or take) per mission. That's just me personally, though. I'm sure there are folks out there able to clear the game in the amount of time it'd take me to fix a sandwich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramez05 Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 just started the game and im completely disregarding the trophy guide for my first run. plan on just mixing a bunch of play styles together for a fun run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bong JamesBong Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 just started the game and im completely disregarding the trophy guide for my first run. plan on just mixing a bunch of play styles together for a fun run. Did the same thing... my first playthrough was semi-stealth. I tried to sneak as much as possible, but didnt mind getting messy either. Bought all the upgrades I wanted. Just played to enjoy the game. But for my 2nd playthrough, I actually combined Clean Hands & Mostly Flesh and Steel. So it was a no upgrades/no kills/no alerts run. Also picked up any Sokolov paintings I had missed previously. This made it pretty challenging, but I really enjoyed it. Also made it possible to platinum in just 2 runs.

Aboelsas Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 i also played my first walkthrough without a guide now i am playing my fourth and final walkthrough before i can get the plat great game imo the good ending is way better than the high chaos one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solstice Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 I need three runs. First run I did high chaos/whatever I wanted and tried to have fun. Second playthrough I did was stealth/low chaos/no kills. The only thing I have left is to beat the game with only blink I. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rutger666 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Yeah i'm aiming to do it in 3 as well, the 1st play through was for myself and completing the game without going for specific trophies, the 2nd was in stealth and the 3rd will be without powers etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowAFC Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I also did it in three playthroughs. 1st - No upgrades + high chaos without really paying attention to the other trophies. (Not exactly a wise move ) 2nd - Stealth/No kills 3rd - Clean Up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, doing the no kills and no alerts play-through with no upgrades must have been very difficult. Having Blink Level 2 and Dark Visions Level 1 was a life safer for me in the no kill/alert play-through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having Blink Level 2 and Dark Visions Level 1 was a life safer for me in the no kill/alert play-through. Not as hard as you may think (at least so far). If anyone gets stuck, check out thereddragon's walkthrough on youtube. Very handy. I'm planning on a 3 playthrough platinum. First without focusing on trophies really, second for stealth, no upgrades, no killing etc and then a third to clean up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yasgard Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Didn't plat yet, but I only have " mostly flesh and steal" left and I'll need a third play through to achieve it. In fact, what am I doing here, I'm going to go plat Dishonored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shay-d Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Glad I saw this thread. Been wrestling with this decision since I got the game a couple months ago, and just now getting around to playing it. Thinking i will go 3 times through as well. Two times through a game is usually enough for me, but this one seems short enough. Thanks for the suggestions.

Eviltwineck Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 I just got my platinum with 3 playthroughs my first for fun then no alarms/kills and just using blink for my clean up run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calamaistr Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 im not planning on platinumming it, i just play freely. fuck trophies man, this is a game to enjoy not to zombie in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shay-d Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Got up to around the end of chapter 2, realized I was only using blink and my sword anyways and decided to do the 2 playthrough run as suggested in the guide instead. And actually enjoying myself quite a bit. Referring back to my first post, 2 runs through a game is just enough for me. Especially with this backlog of games I've got posted on my shelf...

While this is an old thread, I'm definitely going to use 3 runthroughs. I don't want to be confined in my actions for an initial run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satnamji Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 I wanted to play my first run without caring about trophies, but in case something went awry and I had to replay then entire game for a trophy I failed, I decided to go for high chaos/flesh and steel in my first run (done) and clean hands/ghost/low chaos in the second run. After which, if everything goes as planned, I can decide if I want to do a complete campaign to clean up the kills trophies involving powers or use chapter select. The trophies really are designed around three runs, it seems, and I enjoy the game enough that I'm not just trying to beat it so I can play something I'm more interested in. But I also have all the DLC in the GOTY edition to get through as well. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocDoomII Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I had to do a third playthrough because the second one didn't unlock clean hands and ghost... Did the this third playthrough in less than 5 hours the stealth way. Just took my time in the first 2 missions to gather as many runes as possible to unlock the useful powers, than did the rest in nothing more than 2 hours just moving around with Blink 2 and skipping obstacles with Bend Time 2. Some missions didn't last more than 15-20 minutes this way. Also pretty much ignored bone charms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda_squad Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Have just done my first run through, just played through really to get a feel of the game, missed a whole lot of paintings, didn't do all granny rags missions or Slackjaws, so will be playing it three times, maybe four if you include the clean up trophies.

Terminator Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I really took my time with this and ended up doing something like 6 playthroughs though if you really know what you're doing, you can get the in 2 playthroughs . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
