Just got to a major plot action. I was trying to play through as the good guy, sparing as many guards as possible, and even "disappearing" some of the top bad guys when the merciful option presented itself.

But fuck, no way, not anymore. I wasn't very emotionally attached so far into the game--the steampunk Borderlands visual style wasn't doing it for me, so I was acting as the merciful white knight for extra challenge.

But the unexpected turn of events took me off guard. I'm killing everyone I come across from here on out. Fucking vengeance time!

There are 3 different endings. Low Chaos and 2 High Chaos ones.

I don't know how to do one of those anti-spoiler blacked out text thing here so I won't say anymore..

Low Chaos: You save the city and the plague goes away.

High Chaos 1: You save Emily, but the city spirals down ever further down the chaotic rabbit hole as the plague runs rampant in the streets unabated.

High Chaos 2: You don't save Emily. The city is plunged into pure chaos, with the plague spreading everywhere, whilst Corvo and others (i.e. the nobles) vie for control.

Thanks! I actually spent a few minutes starting at the screen looking for the "highlight" function before I gave up. :-S

Well I beat it. Definitely worth the money, and it's good to see a new IP.

Nasty plot had me dispense with my RP and turn me into an ungodly vengeance machine, killing everything in my path. I spared no one.

I like how it snuck on me with the plot twist. I assumed it was a typically good vs. evil, black-and-white fight, and I could trust the "good guys" to support me while I rid the city of the guys who killed the Empress.

Then you come back to find out they try to kill YOU. But that's not bad enough. They kill off everyone who was sheltering them as well--even Emily's tutor, Callista.

Efficient? Or evil?

I was already bordering high chaos as I tended to kill things in the first level, but tried to go non-lethal after that. But after that, I didn't even bother with non-lethal, I killed anything that could be killed, and even managed to save Emily.

I'm on the mission where you go back to Dunwall. I'm not sure how far I am from the end of the game, but it's gotta be getting close.

I've been given an objective to assassinate a guy on the roof top.

I can't wait to see what they do for a sequel with this game.

To KrisN about Callista: If you are playing through with low chaos, Callista is actually spared, though, the butler and other maid are still killed.

Also, for those that did not know, Callista (Emily's tutor) is voiced by Cersei Lannister actress, Lena Headey.

Now I know what I'm watching on Amazon this afternoon...
