...OK, some of these powers look broken as hell. However, you most likely don't have access to ALL of these at once (from what I hear the "runes" they mention are like Praxis Points in Deus Ex: Human Revolution so it may take a while before you have that much power)
That said, this looks pretty awesome and open ended. Can't wait.

Time to revive this thing.
I'm loving this game, even though I keep assing it up with the stealth. I intend to be more methodical in future bits. So glad that you can hide under tables--it makes a big difference to me. I've not yet finished the first assassination. Too busy finding side quests, runes, and bones.
The setting is great. I'm impressed by the pseudo-science bullshit I'm finding in the different articles around, like the belief that because machines run on whale oil, that whales run on whale oil, or that hard labor helps the muscles squeeze out evil feelings to make men pious. It's gotta be tough to come up with that kind of ignorance that believes it's genius.

My current trick, if I've only fucked up enough that one guy knows I'm there, is to Blink behind him and get stabbing. I'm trying hard not to waste my sleeping darts, but the rats are monstrous. I killed a guy on the street, went into a house, and felt my controller going nuts, trying to warn me about something. I turn around after scoping the place and find all the corpse's skin is chewed off. So then I pull him off the street, dump him behind a table, and head upstairs. The controller goes nuts again. I come down after a couple minutes, and there's nothing left but a partial abdomen--head, limbs, a bunch of other stuff's all gone.
And of course at that point, one of my big rats who was on the couch at the time decides to start grinding his teeth beside my ear.

Slow time is great for blinking behind someone and putting them to sleep before the alert triggers.
I'm on what appears to be the final assassination and have only killed 2 people and the second one I don't even remember doing so. Granted I've been reloading a lot. so it doesn't really count in my book. I think one of the bodies I hid high up may have fallen...

I only reloaded after a bunch of kills tonight because I realized after the murder spree that I was backtracking and killing guys I'd successfully sneaked past earlier, for no reason. I'd found what I thought was an alternative route, that turned out to be an alternative way into the place I was already in.
Still in first assassination mission. Letting this thing breathe. My primary power goals are to get human possession, and then slow time and rat plague.

Past mission 6 now. The setting's enjoyable and inventive, and the gameplay is a blast, but the story is pretty weak and predictable.
Finished it tonight.
Good game, but I felt kind of underwhelmed. I went low chaos.

It's worth at least 2 playthroughs. One clean, with few kills and mostly knockouts, and one dirty, with mostly kills. Racking up the chaos really changes how the levels feel and how the characters act around you.
High chaos final mission is much more satisfying in my opinion.
I wish this had been a game with a larger scope, and an open city to explore and pick up missions. It's a fun title, but misses its real potential, unfortunately.

It IS still a high quality title and the world shows a lot of potential.
Yeah, this game demands a bigger sequel.
And whoa, the voice cast. Susan Sarandon? Geeze.[DOUBLEPOST=1353973207][/DOUBLEPOST]

Totally agree.
