DedSec can hack them to use for surveillance, distraction, or combat (e.g., turning an Albion CT-Drone against its owners). Certain operatives (like Construction Worker) can summon specific drones (Cargo Drone for riding/transport).
    Robot (Aerial Drone)
  • Bagley (AI): Serves as DedSec's mission handler and tech support, providing intel, sarcastic commentary, and coordinating operations. Not a physical companion but a constant presence via comms.

  • Non-Lethal Weapons (Shock Weapons): Stun/Disruptive
    Weapons designed to incapacitate rather than kill, such as shock pistols, shock shotguns, and shock SMGs. Useful for players wanting a less lethal playthrough or for recruiting operatives who might be injured by lethal force.

    Special DedSec-themed versions of weapons, often with non-lethal variants or unique properties, unlocked through tech upgrades or as operative perks.

    Many operative archetypes come with unique inherent weapons or special abilities that cannot be unequipped or changed (e.g., Spy's silenced pistol & car, Construction Worker's nail gun, Anarchist's smoke grenade).
Armor / Gear Sets
N/A
  • Operative Traits (e.g., 'Tough Drunk', 'Physically Fit'): Individual operatives may possess traits that grant them inherent damage resistance or increased health (e.g., 'Tough Drunk' takes less damage while intoxicated, 'Physically Fit' might have more health). This is not traditional armor but contributes to survivability.
  • Gadgets (e.g., Riot Shield Drone - Hypothetical/Similar to existing tech): While no direct wearable armor is equipped, certain gadgets or operative abilities might provide temporary defensive bonuses or shields (e.g., a construction worker's cargo drone could be used as cover, or a specialized drone might project a temporary shield).
  • Clothing (Cosmetic): Clothing choices are primarily cosmetic and do not offer direct armor or damage reduction values. Operatives might appear more 'armored' based on their profession (e.g., an Albion soldier recruit), but this is visual.
Outfits/Customization

World & Level Design

The game features distinct, large, and intricately designed mission levels rather than a single continuous open world. Key locations in Dunwall include Dunwall Tower, the Hound Pits Pub (hub area), Kaldwin's Bridge, Boyle Estate, and the Flooded District. Each level offers multiple pathways and secrets.

Features a detailed and faithful recreation of central London, divided into several iconic boroughs like City of Westminster, Camden, Islington & Hackney, Lambeth, Southwark, Tower Hamlets, and City of London. Each borough has its distinct architecture, landmarks (e.g., Buckingham Palace, Tower of London, Piccadilly Circus), and atmosphere. The map is dense with activities, collectibles, and opportunities for emergent gameplay.

    Various motorcycles and scooters for agile urban traversal. Also hackable and drivable.
  • Drones (Cargo, CT-Drones, News Drones, Riot Drones, Parcel Drones): Aerial Vehicle (Unmanned)

  • Boats (Speedboats, Patrol Boats, Workboats): Watercraft
    Various boats for navigating the River Thames and other waterways. Can be hijacked and driven.

help_outline FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
  • Q: What is the Chaos system in Dishonored?
    A: The Chaos system tracks Corvo's lethal actions. Killing more characters increases Chaos, leading to a darker world, more plague victims (Weepers), more rats, pessimistic dialogue, and a bleaker ending. A low Chaos playthrough (minimal kills) results in a more hopeful outcome.
  • Q: Can you complete Dishonored without killing anyone?
    A: Yes, it is possible to complete the entire game, including eliminating all main targets, without killing anyone (non-lethal playthrough). This often involves finding alternative methods to neutralize targets.
  • Q: What are Runes and Bonecharms used for?
    A: Runes are used to unlock and upgrade Corvo's supernatural powers. Bonecharms are trinkets that provide passive buffs, such as increased health/mana, faster movement, or enhanced stealth.
  • Q: Is Corvo a silent protagonist?
    A: For the most part, yes. Corvo has very few spoken lines in the base game, primarily making choices through player actions. He is more vocal in the DLC and Dishonored 2.
  • Q: What does 'Play As Anyone' mean in Watch Dogs: Legion?
    A: It means that nearly every non-player character (NPC) you see in the game's open world of London can be profiled, recruited, and become a fully playable member of your DedSec resistance. Each character has their own unique combination of skills, traits, weapons, and even daily schedules.
  • Q: Is there a main protagonist, or do you only play as recruited operatives?
    A: There isn't a single, fixed main protagonist in the traditional sense for the base game. You build your team from the citizens of London. However, the 'Bloodline' DLC features Aiden Pearce (from Watch Dogs 1) and Wrench (from Watch Dogs 2) as central playable protagonists for that specific story.
  • Q: Can my operatives permanently die?
    A: The game offers a 'Permadeath' option. If enabled, when an operative is critically injured (e.g., 'killed' in combat), they are permanently lost from your team. If disabled (default), operatives are instead arrested or hospitalized for a period, becoming temporarily unavailable.
  • Q: How does hacking work in Watch Dogs: Legion?
    A: Hacking is a core mechanic. Players can hack a wide variety of objects and systems: security cameras, drones, vehicles (distract, steer, weaponize), turrets, people's phones (distract, attract), environmental traps (explode junction boxes, raise bollards), and more. Advanced hacks are unlocked via Tech Point upgrades.
  • Q: Is Watch Dogs: Legion Online still active?
    A: Yes, Watch Dogs: Legion Online is active, allowing players to team up for co-op missions, Tactical Ops, engage in PvP modes like Spiderbot Arena, or explore London in free roam with friends. Content updates have slowed, but servers remain online.
build Technical Details
Graphics & Visual Fidelity

Utilizing a heavily modified Unreal Engine 3, Dishonored features a distinct 'whalepunk' art style characterized by exaggerated Victorian-era architecture, industrial elements powered by whale oil, and painterly textures. The game is known for its strong art direction and atmosphere rather than raw graphical fidelity by modern standards.

Powered by an updated version of the Disrupt engine, the game offers a detailed and vibrant recreation of London. It features impressive reflections (especially with ray tracing), realistic weather effects, dense crowds and traffic, and detailed character models. Ray-traced reflections are a key visual feature on supported hardware, significantly enhancing the look of London's glass and rain-slicked streets.

Audio & Soundtrack

Score by Daniel Licht, creating a dark, atmospheric, and memorable soundtrack. Sound design is crucial for stealth, providing auditory cues for guard patrols and environmental hazards. Features iconic voice acting, including Stephen Russell as Corvo (though Corvo is mostly silent).

Original score composed by Stephen Barton and additional music by various artists, blending electronic, grime, and orchestral elements to reflect near-future London's atmosphere. Features in-game radio stations with a diverse selection of licensed tracks across multiple genres. Sound design emphasizes a technologically advanced city with drone hums, AR sounds, and distinct weapon/hacking effects.

User Interface (UI/UX)

Relatively minimalist HUD with health/mana indicators, objective markers, and a quick-access wheel for powers and gadgets. Contextual prompts for interactions.

Features a futuristic, AR-overlay style HUD displaying a mini-map, objective markers, hackable objects, and operative-specific abilities. The phone interface is used for mission selection, team management, map, and accessing DedSec tech. The 'Deep Profiler' allows players to scan any NPC to learn their schedule, connections, and potential recruitment viability.

Accessibility Options

Standard for its time: Subtitle options, remappable controls (PC), adjustable difficulty. Less comprehensive than modern titles but functional.

Offers a comprehensive suite of accessibility options, including extensive control remapping, aim assist customization, subtitle options (size, background, speaker names, captions for important sounds), colorblind modes, options to change hold QTEs to toggles, adjustable text size, HUD scaling, and audio/visual cues for various gameplay elements.
