Instead it can be used tactically allowing Billie to enter a fight in a difficult area and then retreat instantly if need be, though beware that the range is not unlimited and the marker must be in Billie’s line of sight.īillie’s other powers are Foresight, Semblance, and the ability to read the minds of rats. With Displace, Billie can mark an area where she wants to move to, but doesn’t have to transport right away. The power that will get most use is Displace which is similar to Corvo’s Blink, but at the same time so much better. However, before you can even get into the location of the item, you must venture through the streets around it to find tools to help as well as scout various entry and escape points.īillie Lurk is equipped to deal with these areas as she has her own range powers that are well suited to a career as a thief, smuggler, and assassin. There’s a mission that requires stealing something, forcing you to bypass a number of security measures. While none of the stages reach the heights of the Clockwork Mansion level, each is very well crafted and produces its own sets of challenges to navigate around.

Most of the game takes place in Karnaca, which you will remember from Dishonored 2, but introduces a few new areas in this city. While there are fewer levels then than the first two entries in the series, Death of the Outsider is not a bitesized experience.

In total it took eight hours to clear the story, but you’re looking at another four easily if you attempt each contract. For example I spent a total of two hours in the second mission hub and that was without completing all the tasks at hand.

These aren’t all events that take only a few moments to accomplish, requiring just as much skill as the main missions do and expanding play time in the process. These contracts can range from stealing a certain object, to killing a character in a certain way or rescuing someone. The game has a total of five levels, but each acts as a small hub with Billie able to accept contracts for coin. With the general public perception that this is a standalone expansion, thanks to its low pricing and the fact that it arrives just a year after Dishonored 2, you might be forgiven for thinking it won’t take long to beat, when it is actually chock full of content. Before playing Death of the Outsider it is worth noting that the events of this expansion take place after campaign of Dishonored 2, and this game is filled with lore of what happened following that games events, so if you’re playing Dishonored 2, make sure to finish that first before diving in.
